It was a āStandardāā¦bred kind of weekend here at Together Horsemanship last weekend.
We had a couple of free early mornings so Bec (who has been patiently bringing her horse along), and myself, decided to beat the heat and have a couple of hours working in the cool of both mornings to see if we couldnāt get a āfirst sitā..on our amazing Standardbreds.
Becās horse Roger has come such a long way - from a dogger bound soul to her beloved partnerā¦I could not be more proud of the work Bec has put into Rogerās well being and taking the time it takes for him to feel comfortable in accepting every new thing that he gets introduced to. The smile on Becās face when she got her first sit on her wonderful boy ā¦and the tears of joy we both shared were equaled with seeing Roger accept and trust the process.
My beautiful Gypsy girl has found her way here about a month ago after being unraced but used as an embryo transfer mare for a few years. Thankfully a lovely girl at the stud she was on, recognised the kind soul of this mare..and when she returned a ānot pregnantā testā¦she put the call out for anyone wanting to take on this beautiful unstarted mare. I have long been an advocate for the amazing temperament of the Standardbred ā¦so decided that this would be my first.
And so it was that Bec and Roger- and Myself and Gypsy ā¦had the most amazing weekend getting our āfirst ridesā done š„°
Thank you Bec for trusting me to help guide you and Roger on your journey.
