Saddle Time

Worked Pal with his saddle on yesterday. It's not a good fit but will do for what we are doing. He needs to bulk up a bit first. :) As soon as I can find someone who knows about horses to help me I'm going to get on his back and get led around. :) Please ignore the mess in the riding area, I am redoing the barn and fence so it don't look the best at the moment.

Hoof Trim

Pal FINALLY got his feet trimmed yesterday. He wasn't too crazy about it but my great farrier worked with him. He did better on the front than he did in the back. His back feet were really long but lucky for him and me nothing else was going on with them. I'm going to work on him standing a little better for the farrier. I think some of it may have to do with balance and getting use to it.

As Promised

Well the last two days were great for pictures sooo...I took a lot of them. We had grooming day today and used a lot of Cowboy Magic! I just love that stuff. Pal did great and he's getting a long good with his new little friend Peanut. The donkey was not a great blind horse friend as he saw Pal as more a bother and opted to be with Bob the Anti Social Belgian. :)



This is Pal and his (and Eli's) pony Peanut. Peanut sort of looks like a mini version of Pal.

Pal and Hershey the best farm dog ever!

Messing with the pony saddle. Next week I'm getting on!

This is Pal's Normal look when he's in front of you.



Pal being his beautiful self!


Cool eye pic


Getting a little more meat on him but still needs more to cover those hook bones.

It's Us Again!

Well, I've been a bit under the weather so haven't really got to do as much as I'd like. I'm hoping to do some more hands on with Pal tomorrow plus take some more pictures. It's only been a few weeks and he's starting to gain weight. His ribs are starting to disappear and he's starting to be a little more spunky. :) We're starting to learn more about each other. Plus he is the alpha horse in his little group. When we feed everyone just has to be careful not to walk behind him when he's eating because he will kick out some.

He's being really good about his blanket and all.

Tomorrow I'm HOPING to be able to saddle him up. :) Will have more pictures and info. :)
