Fallon is rounding her 4 year old year! Can you believe that the little bay filly in the pictures below is now nearly 4? I hope she grows soon though. She has gone out, not up! She is still maybe 13.3hh MAX! However, she is built like a tanker with feet to fit.
Anyways, Got about 15-20 rides on her this summer before I had to help the family with Harvest season which of course lasts fron July through October, then the weather turned bad very fast.
I have since changed jobs and hopefully will only be a fill in this year on the farm, not relied upon. I am a Certified Equine & Canine Massage Therapist. See my website: http://www.victoryacresfarm.com or my blog http://vaequinemassage.blogspot.com ...
Anyways, her first ride went flawlessly. If you'd like to see the video of her first ride, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq2SB-SNlb4
... I purposely make my video's private as I don't appreciate negative, non constructive comments that people with too much time on their hands always leave. In other words, only those with a link, such as the one posted above, can see the video. So if you want to share the video with a friend, they will need the link, they will not be able to search Youtube to find it.
I had been gone for college and the summer I was home I had to have back surgery, meaning she got little handling between the challenge and her first ride. I do NOT usually start a horse this way. As in, I do weeks of groundwork and make sure they are soft, supple and ready to just step on and pretty much go. I use Clinton Anderson methods, and have for 9 years or longer and they have never failed me. I am planning on starting fresh early this spring. This winter I plan on working on her "Fundamentals" on the ground when I can make it to the indoor arena (road conditions permitting).
IF you or someone you know is interested in Fallon, I am not actively selling her but would consider it to a good home that will continue with similar training methods. Note that she is not a free, give away or cheap horse. She will have a price tag to represent her training. So if your looking for a cheap project, please continue your search elsewhere.
