Ponying

The last few days have been rainy so not a lot got done with the horses. Drifter is living with the mares now, unless it is going to be a rainy night then he will get to go back in his pen- I think he misses it, he hangs out by the fence and stares in there. The mares are pretty good with him, once in a while Mesa or Ice will pester him but mostly he just gets along with everyone.

Today is Shayla's last day here before she heads south, so it was a good time to pony Drifter for the first time, since Rose is his favourite.

I'd say he did pretty good considering we have had him such a short time.

I'll use Gussie next time. And probably take him out of the pen and pony him around the farm, I'm sure he will find it much more interesting than the pen. 

I keep getting amazed at how quiet this horse is! Hopefully he won't be too quiet! I was chatting with a lady who owns a full brother to Drifter's sire and here is what she had to say about this bloodline: Show 'em what you want and they will try and do it. And they don't like being nagged.

I'm thinking this will be a good cross on some of the hotter more feely mares.
