October 24, 2010Posted inPowder's Development with Jennifer Vaught
Written by Jennifer Vaught Powder arrived at Pine Dell early Sun. morning Oct. the 17th.  She was going to go home with Nichole and I.  I had brought my two horse straight load trailer with a ramp, which she hadn't seen since she was a yearling, so I wasn't sure how thrilled she would be to load in that.  At a trailer loading clinic she had played with it, but she had never been shut in.  Nichole went to catch her for me and I went to talk to my…

Sage for Sale

My idea of fun is taking a new young horse and bringing them thru to finished saddle horse. Sage was my first.  I was a 50 year old beginning adult rider when I got Sage.

Nova and Goldie are pastured together right  now. But because Goldie has a bad leg and is crippled, she doesn't run around like Nova likes.  I believe Powder and Nova went all over the pasture and Goldie was able to keep them in sight.  Goldie must have been a herd of one in Nova's opinion. Nova misses her half sister.
