    Echo Training Journal

    So cute! I thought of a good way to explain it to her. Horses are perceptive (smart) and he has already picked up who the boss is in your family and that every herd has a hierarchy (pecking order) and she is most definitely second in command! And when you have a special friend you may not do...

    It is an extra challenge because you are not just training a horse, but also training horsemanship to your daughter. You are an awesome mom for doing this!

    Drivin' Thru 2022

    Don't worry about a thing. It's all just for fun anyway! We got in a situation like that and ended up living in our RV on our new property for 7 months until we could get a final certificate of occupancy! Sounds like a busy but fun summer for you!

    Rescused orphaned mini colt

    Wow! I started to get teary as I read this!!! What a hard thing to go through! Praying for strength as you tend to this little one in the days ahead and that he will thrive and be the best little horse ever.

    Spring Clipping

    So I clipped Annie, how do you like the pattern? Haha Just a shadow from the top of the pergola I have for shade when we hitch. Lol. She has a super thick course tail and I used the new product on her and it was amazing! I sprayed it on and let it sit and zero tangles nice and soft. This...

    I ordered my cart!

    Danettedm, I have this cart with the C springs and motorcycle tires. It is the most comfortable ride of all my carts and is lightweight. If you purchase this cart be sure to get the C springs.

    Stud (lead) chain advice

    I would not use a chain. My suggestion is to first teach him to walk with a lead rope in a secure area learning to trust you as his leader. When venturing out you can tie a knot at the end of the lead rope. If he bolts the rope will not get away from you and he will then be moving in a circle...

    Trying new bit

    He tried to nip with both front feet. I flexed his legs no problem and the trainer completely checked him over and we also double checked the cart balance. He moved beautifully and did the best canter, really enjoying himself. The vet is coming next week for vaccines and she will look him over...

    Repurposed Jolly Ball

    My horses had zero intrest in the Jolly Ball laying in their paddock for 2 years. I saw that the manufacturer came out with a new hanging ball you stuff with hay so I got the idea to cut ours up with a jigsaw using a finish blade so it is not sharp. Need to cut one more hole, but wanted to try...

    Trying new bit

    Yes, I checked him over throughly. I am what is commonly known as an "overthinker" when it comes to my horses. Even thinking the side of his mouth was chapped...turned out it was just dried food! I went back out with some salve and it was normal. Must have washed it with a drink of water. 🤣...

    Your Drive Day

    Looks great Marsha! I see what you mean, but I sure would like the shade it provides. Kinda like blinders for you. Is it hard to get into? Roll up sides would do it for the interaction factor. Could you have some horizontal poles going back a little behind the seat of the cart and shorten...

    How's the Weather ?

    Wow! Enjoy the rain. Maybe that will happen to us some day. It's getting kinda scary here we have been in a drought for so long the last two summers were so bad for fires. It has been so dry and windy. I had a British boss for 10 years and he could never get over how Americans run when...
