Inquiring Horses Want to Know...

2010, A Great Year in the Saddle!

Zatara's 2nd "ride"

Ok, who remembers Zatara when I got him?

Beautiful, 7 yr old gelding, about 16 hands, 3/4 Arab, extremely athletic, but. . . . . he would bite, kick, and run you over!! Aw, the poor guy was an emotional mess!!

My BFF, Cindy Savage gave him to me for my next project horse. She knows I am a glutton for punishment and up for a challenge!! Chief was the first horse I started 100% on the Parelli program and he was a breeze. Zatara is a lot like Arbor, my 22 yr RBE, a handful. I take all the credit for the good and bad; if I only knew then what I know now. . .

More later. . . Thanks for the photo, Pam Rains!

Good Times this Holiday with our Group Lesson

We sure enjoyed our indoor, heated arena Wed for our group lesson! We played with the 'Theme of the Friendly Game'. How many different ways can you play the friendly game with your horse? How about challenging yourself to do everything with only phase 1?! ;) [We used the Cloverleaf pattern as one of many ways to practice with phase one on turning and with different gaits.]

Nina and her Cashie....

These 2 are definetly having a Happy Holiday! ;)

Ahh, this is a cute pic....

Oh, what a cute picture Christi of you and Mav! You both look sooo cute together!! ;)

Xmas Fun with Christi and Maverick....

Here is a true test of winning the Friendly Game; Christi's horse Maverick is completely accepting of his Reindeer antlers while she is laughing! ;)
