\nMost non horse people don\u2019t know what HEAT is. \u00a0Mare owners know what that word means. \u00a0It means Fancy\u2019s body wants a Stallion!\u00a0(Mare cycles generally last 21 days with them expressing signs of heat for 4-7 days. Estrus is expressed outwardly by; raising the tail, frequent urination, \u201cwinking\u201d or eversion of the vulva, squealing, and posturing.)<\/b><\/p>\n

The wetness on her legs was from her \u201cheat\u201d. \u00a0Oh Lordy. \u00a0I feel a chuckle coming.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m riding in a lesson taught by great trainer, Erin Patterson. Fancy doesn\u2019t want to obey my body command to back up. \u00a0She verbally tells me, using a squeal, that backing is not acceptable. When she was younger her monthly cycle would heat up and wreck her back. \u00a0Those things moved around in there! \u00a0She was placed on a drug which stopped fertility. \u00a0When she went to Florida this year, her drug was terminated. \u00a0She \u00a0is older (eight) now and her body not as \u201ccycle-gullible\u201d.<\/p>\n

Fancy is back home with me in all her heat glory. \u00a0She screamed (squealed) when I asked her to back, I smiled. \u00a0A few minutes later, the my chuckling started. \u00a0I chuckled all over the arena. \u00a0When it was time to drive home, I ripped out intermittent chuckles all the way home. \u00a0I laughed (chuckled outloud) the rest of the day. Fancy made me laugh all day!<\/p>\n

More Fancy news: Us humans always know Fancy\u2019s state of mind. \u00a0She lets you know. \u00a0Long ago, she was raised without a herd and had a very bad colt start using pain, fear and intimidation. Her owner didn\u2019t want her hurt by the herd and raised her in a stall and with solo turn out. \u00a0 Her early life affected her as it would for humans in the same pain, fear and intimidation situation. \u00a0Fancy became rideable after her second colt start, but she kicked three farriers and the husband. \u00a0My currant horse had developed EPM and Fancy was loaned to me. \u00a0She struck me with her front foot the first time I took her to the near by arena<\/p>\n

Fancy is a mouthy horse and always bit me , especially when I reached under her to get the girth.<\/p>\n

Fancy spent her 3rd colt start with Tony Vaught former Parelli certified Horse Develoer. The Vaughts (Jenny and Tony) develop horses using Love, Language and Leadership. \u00a0Fancy would do whatever Tony asked. \u00a0Tony loves her. (She did not do whatever I asked upon her return \u00a0she spent the early part of our ride, arguing. \u00a0There were many times when she wouldn\u2019t canter.<\/p>\n

Here is the amazing present day Fancy. (She recently spent about half a year with Tony Vaught (and won the September 2023 Ranch Horse Reserve World Grand Championship at The Fox Trotter World Celebration.) \u00a0Yes, I am a bragger!<\/p>\n

Here it is December \u00a02023 and I realize something has changed with Fancy. \u00a0Hold on\u2026.<\/p>\n

Fancy has become a SWEET HORSE! \u00a0I told Jenny Vaught (former 15 year certified Parelli instructor). Jenny explained perhaps aging sweetened these horses up. \u00a0I think it could have been aging, her life using Love, Language and Leadership, and more time with Tony Vaught.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
