THE PRACTICE CONTINUES

Feb 11

            Jill has been working Shiloh and cleaned up Bleu today. My friend Rene came out to take pictures for an article in the Wheelhorse Newsletter for the American Driving Society. It was about the last nice day we are going to have for a while. In the pictures, Bleu is wearing the mannering halter. The horde was very good and stood well for the photo session. Treat wanted to be shy and kept putting his head behind me and Bleu was a camera hog. The others just stood waiting for me to tell them what to do. This is a good test of how well they are staying put when told to whoa.
            I’ve put a few of the pictures on this blog. My little Icy Horde has really grown on me. They bring a smile to my face every day.

            Jill worked Shiloh, Bleu and Sam. Shiloh shied when a horse in the barn bit him and Jill was squished against the wall, but she will be okay, she said. The others did well. I haven’t had her put the surcingle or the harness saddle on anyone yet, but I will show her this week how to do that. Mostly, I am glad she is working them and keeping them exposed to other people besides me.
