When I arrived at the ranch Saturday, I was surprised to see what a MESS Gigondas and the two mustangs made of their alfalfa! I mean, look at the little piggies! The bottom one shows the mess that Gigondas made! Since Cathy is sick, I completely raked out her pen (except for the hay)! I gave her some of my Manuka honey, so I hope it helps her get better! Then, the two mustangs! And, it wasn't even windy! Good grief! It was COLD and windy yesterday, so I didn't take any of the horses out...I see that freezing nights are forecast for this next week. Good thing they all have their winter coats!
Wow. I just discovered your blog. What a perfect diversion (and very well done) for all of us horse lovers.
ReplyDeleteI noticed you were working with a tarp in one of the postings.
Have you ever heard of Rex Peterson? He is a Hollywood horse trainer--who has done nearly every major horse film (he supplies his horses) for the past 30+ years. The opening of Runaway Bride, The Horse Whisperer, Hidalgo, and many many more.
I thought of mentioning him because one of his new videos focuses on de-sensitizing horses. He doesn't use a tarp in the video (though he uses them at times).

It's good stuff. He is based in California.
