Sunday the farrier came out and trimmed up all the horses. I am really proud of little
Chickory, she let a stranger handle her, and she was very good for him, didn't struggle at all- just stood there quietly for him. All my horses stand quietly for their pedicures; my farrier said he wishes I'd do the groundwork on all the colts he trims. It was nice to get a compliment. It's also nice to have a farrier who is on time and reliable as well as doing a great job!
We will be saying farewell to Peppy next month. He will be going to Saskatchewan in March. A lady who was interested in him last summer will be his new owner, and she hopes to do some reining on him. Nice Valentines gift for her! Fitting because he has that heart shaped star.
He sure was a cute baby! I will have his full sibling later on this year; even though I sold his dam, I am buying back the foal she is carrying. Can't wait to see what she throws this year; I'm betting on a red roan filly. Coyote Belle is due in 7 weeks, and I'm hoping for a black colt from her. Now we just need the weather to cooperate- it is stupid cold again here!

Roans are my weakness. I love this little guy. Should of named him Valentine!! :) Well he is just cute and will be a headstopper! Congrats on the new owner
Nice butt on Peppy!! Good lookin' colt and he sure was an adorable baby. Kinda hard to let him go??
Farriers LOVE people like you. I was just thinking that today, if a person starts everything about training when they're little, it's SO much easier. Unlike Sugarfoot... sigh.
Farriers deeply appreciate a young horse who stands. It makes us want to hug and kiss you owners who train them. Seriously.
I'll miss seeing Peppy, he was my favorite. At least we know he's going to a good home where he'll be loved and used :)
I'm hoping the people who will have him will keep in touch, I love to see them grow up. C-ingspots, actually it isn't too hard for me to let them go; this is part of what I do for a living. I have raised and sold many colts over the years, so I don't get too attached to the ones I know will be for sale.
Thanks Shirley for worrying and the hug!
Peppy will miss not coming here as Cowboy wished for!
And yes, ground work pays off! Since Cowboy is cert. farrier, he ALWAYS,ALWAYS starts colts with the farrier in mind!!
Congrats with Peppy as well as the farrier, you're the kind of horse owner vets love as well...
A great farrier is worth there weight in gold! We are blessed with a great one! Great job with working with the colts~I know the farrier really appreciates it!
