Life On and Off an Acreage

In-sights into moving from an Acreage back to Town, plus a few things I find of interest.

Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move




Old enough to be eccentric, but not rich enough

First Day!

 First a little groundwork.
 Very compliant and some bonding
I put the tape on Blacky ( or Alpine... we haven't decided yet), and she comes in at 14.3 hands high and 846 pounds. Just right!


She has a very smooth walk and trot. Elaine hasn't taken her to cantor yet.

A 45 minute training session and the monsoon hit. I didn't ride as I am recovering from a dislocated thumb. It's a long story, but maybe I'll ride tomorrow.

    Rode a horse one time in my life and would do it again. You are both blessed to have horses and ride them.

    Your new horse looks to be gentle. Of course Elaine is no doubt an excellent rider and makes it look easy.
