This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oh Lisa, You just described how I feel when attempting something new. I particularly love the " And I don't want to get hurt, and I don't want to get hurt" That is me to the T.
We had a Very fun day yesterday. Our local driving and draft horse club had our winter drive. Usually we load up teams and tow the kids on sleds to the back of a ranch to have a bon fire chili feed. This year we had NO snow! We had fun though. Yesterday was my first day taking WHR Elsker, our 2 1/2 year old stud out for a community event. He has been in training for about 6 weeks and has been driving with a Belgian mare. He has never been out with any other teams. Elsker was sure that ALL the other teams were mares! He had his head peanut rolled down so far it looked like it hurt. He pranced at every Walk or Trot we asked for. HOWEVER! He behaved and did everything we asked. He even stood tied for two hours with that Belgian mare. I had not seen him but once since Thanksgiving and I cannot believe how much he has grown. He is just as big as my mare Tone' already. He gets his size from his dam Opal (Hanson and Jullie C). He gets his beautiful coloring and movement from Eric his sire. I cannot wait to show him off at Libby this year. FINALLY after 5 years of breeding we found our perfect match and got a stallion prospect. Too Bad we lost the stud " Eric (Ellinor and Holtar) a few years ago of old age.. Today it's sunny and warm and we are gonna go RIDING! Unheard of in January in Montana
