Jenis

We bought Jenis when she was only 2 years old. We brought her home, gave her one day to get used to the place, then started working with her. We were riding her in 2 days and going on trails with her within the week. She is the horse that taught us that even though Friesians are big and impressive, they want to please so much that they are one of the easiest horse breeds to train. The picture I included was on a trail ride last fall at Jubilee State park. The setting was perfect for Rhoda to show us what she has been working on with Jenis. People think Friesians are only good for dressage or pulling a carriage but they make wonderful trail horses also. They have good minds are not spooky and WOW do we get the looks when we take all 4 mares out onto a public trail.
I left this morning around 5:15am the temperature outside was 21 degrees, perfect for hauling. I got to Middle Grove at 6:40, had the rest of the horses all haltered and tied up waiting for transport. Mike got there with his trailer around 7:00am and by 7:08am we were loaded and on the road. Say good by to Middle Grove for 2 months. It was actually a blessing that we had this cold spell. By today the temps are going to climb into the 40s with 50s and 60s coming. When we got all the horses unloaded at Hanna City we worked with Chiquita's colt and Autumn's colt. We led them around and picked up their feet. These boys have been at Middle Grove since a couple of weeks old, it was nice to see the imprinting worked and they hadn't forgotten much. Caspian is especially friendly and curious. When we were working Class Act, Caspian kept getting in our way trying to figure out what we were doing. I got to see both boys show off, I really need to get some videos, wow was Caspian ever impressive. Those boys will be weaned next week.
