Black and Gold

By Susan May 8, 2015CISCO, Missouri Fox Trotter, Samson

Samson and Cisco went to the arena for fun and games today. I don't know when I've had a more fun day. Sadly, I couldn't take any videos or many pictures, so your imagination plus these pictures will just have to do! When we loaded into the trailer today, Samson got to be the one in first. He was really happy that Cisco loaded in the trailer with him. We arrived at the indoor arena. Samson is still in the wide-eyed-wonder at the different world he is experiencing. It really…

People Loving Horse

By Susan May 4, 2015Missouri Fox Trotter, Samson

Four horses needing their yearly vet shots and checkup. Pasture has five horses. Barn has three stalls. Samson is the low horse in the herd and he is one that needs his shots. Hmmmm. I'm decided to get Samson and let him loose in the yard. I'm cleaning the trailer out and Samson wanders around alternately eating grass and going into the barn to check out his friends locked in the three stalls. Dr, Baker arrives. We decide Samson is first since I altered him. Dr Baker examines him and…

Samson Campaign Starts

By Susan April 27, 2015Missouri Fox Trotter, Samson

Samson is Velvet and JJ's son. He is owned by Nichole. Jenny made the mistake of letting me play with Samson during a Yound and Green Horse Development Clinic. I fell in love and wanted to steal him. I decided that stealing him wasn't really ethical, because I gave Samson to Nichole as a Christmas present before he was even born. I faked a registration paper. I wanted her always to have a Velvet in her life. So, instead of stealing him. I am borrowing him. I have permission. Samson…

The Longest Ride

By Susan April 27, 2015CISCO, Missouri Fox Trotter

This is it: Cisco's first horse show. His human birth mommy, Brenda, came all the way from Virginia to see him. She has not seen him since he was sold some years ago. Brenda's friends and I held her hands as we walked down the aisle to Cisco's stall. Brenda melted when she first saw him. Cisco's eyes were wide open when she walked into the stalled and rubbed him. He was very surprised to see her again, especially in this big huge arena foreign place. Brenda loved on…

Lovable Lucky Star

By Susan April 1, 2015Country Frank's Lucky Star, Missouri Fox Trotter

Gone is the "Horse of No". The Horse of No really has left the building. Lucky Star has become willing to go! Last year he was coming along well except for bristling when I asked for the canter. The canter was bracy and stiff because Lucky was protesting having to go at such speed and effort. It wasn't a pleasant experience for the rider as there was a different canter going on with each side of Lucky Star. He was leading the canter with one leg in the front…

Lucky Star Fun

By Susan January 26, 2015Country Frank's Lucky Star, Missouri Fox Trotter

Cisco is away for training with Tony and Jenny Vaught. This makes Lucky Star the winner of nearly every day riding. This is our second every day. Away we went to the arena. I took off Lucky's halter and we are "at liberty". Lucky and I drug the barrels out into the arena....one at a time. I set up the barrel and secretly placed a treat on top. Lucky and I went at least 20 feet away. We stopped and I gave him the sign to "go touch the…
