The Big Warm-up

Well the warm up started, it was 23 degrees when daylight arrived and we had a high of 34 degrees. Mark worked inside repairing the hose I broke last Saturday and was able to fix it before Karin arrived this Saturday.
Karin and Magda came to work with the horses, bringing them in the indoor arena. Below is
Magda bringing in Hadassah. 
 I brought in Jenis while Karin brought in Zalena. They all love to roll in the soft sand as soon as they walk through the arena door.

Once that all important roll is finished they explode into action, then line up for instructions.

Studley and Kabur are exactly the same breed, they have a Golden Retriever mom and a lab dad only Studly turned out more like his retriever mom and Kabur turned out more like his lab dad.  


Those two played together as Berlica went to get Valiant out of his paddock.  

Today Karin was teaching Berlica how to round pen Valiant and then canter him.
 Before Berlica got on Valiant Karin rides him first.

Berlica did very well with Valiant. She has to ride without stirrups as we don't have a saddle small enough for her.

 Karin had her hold the saddle horn and the back of the saddle while she asks Valiant for the canter, then once Berlica is familiar with the canter movement Karin walked out of the middle, gave Berlica a whip and had her canter him both directions on her own. 
Now that's a good stallion. If you would like to see the rest of the pictures of Berlica working with Valiant click HERE. As soon as Valiant was put away Karin and I went to mom's for lunch. After lunch it was time to work on the apartment. The back door lock wasn't working and needed to be taken apart. Mark was able to get that working. 
Sarah and Nolan sold another puppy. This time it was the male Whoodle puppy they are calling Barrow.
I think there are still a few Whoodles still available and just a couple Moyen Poodle pups.
