Delta has her own story. She didn’t fare well in the human world and was ruined. She was drugged and met new to horses (green), Kevin who purchased her. Kevin and Delta went through early hell. Florida based Kevin started going through the Parelli training with long distance coaching from Tony and Jenny Vaught, living in Missouri at the time. Kevin and Delta connected and bonded. Kevin only broke one bone riding Delta and that was in their bonded stage.
some years later living in Florida, Delta became allergic to Florida insects. She moved to southern Missouri, had a baby and lived a great life until “the southern Missouri drought” when hay became gold. She moved to my pasture where we had available hay. I took the vow to keep her forever.
(Story tellers can never resist making everything a story!)
I’ve got two upcoming neighbor kids who are interested in horses. Delta is safe to groom and maybe teach the kids the Parelli Seven Games. I thought that until today! What a time we had in the newly refurbished round pen!
