Winter work

I am starting off 2009 with a lot of time spent on the "ground training" add on to the RAC contest. I have 2 youngsters to work with right now. Princess ( *C-C Her Royal Highness ) is a weanling filly, now 8 months old. Today's session was advanced leading skills, some lateral work, and the introduction to clippers and a blanket. Tyler ( * C-C High Sox Tyler ) is a 3 month old suckling colt, a fall baby. He is being halter broke and learning to lead. I will soon pony him off his Dam, as I spend outside riding. Yeah! I LOVE having this addition to RAC, as a breeder I spend much more time in handling horses from the ground, than my seat in the saddle actual riding time. There are a lot of entries in the RAC and kudos to Denise for inspiring us ALL to spend hours with our horses!
