Jethro

 

I haven’t been posting over on Training the Unwanted this year because I haven’t been doing any of the training.  Tamara has been volunteering her time to come out and work with these horses and she has her own blog to tell you all about it.  It’s over there on the right and it’s called “All about horses in training”.  Tamara helps other people with their horse troubles, so her blog isn’t just about the horses here.  Go check her out sometime!

Yesterday she came out and worked with Quill, Jasmine, Traveler, and Jethro.  This was Jethro’s evaluation ride and I was pretty confident that he was already broke to ride just because of his excellent ground manners and calm, relaxed way of handling new situations.

For instance, this was the first time Jethro had been introduced to the main herd.  The first time he’d been up on the ridge and in the round pen.  And it was probably the first time he’d ever had a little “helper” in a round pen with him.

 

 

 

 

I’m very impressed with the way Jethro handles himself and can’t imagine why someone would have turned him loose, or not gone looking for him if he had escaped.  He’s an awesome horse and I can’t wait to find the time to hit the trails on him for a more thorough evaluation!

And what do I say about Amigo?  How many times can I tell you how adorable he is before you get tired of reading it and find another blog to read?
