Some of the words are "patience, harmony, breathe, pray, trust." I can't remember them all. I think she just did them freehand with her router.Andrea -Mustang Sagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576342393431178404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-37729571853927577002013-04-24T10:02:13.309-07:002013-04-24T10:02:13.309-07:00Great pics!

I remember hanging off the side of the roundpen getting Cody used to me being above him too :) By the time I slipped that leg over and sat on him he was like "oh, hi" and just stood there.<br /><br />I also remember having a really hard time getting onto his right side in the beginning. Such a hard time for awhile I wondered if his vision was okay. But we finally reached a point where it was okay for me to be on either side (this was walking around front, behind wasn't really an issue). Horses are funny sometimes :)froglanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16784779618909752267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-22472858942009198232013-04-24T07:19:39.275-07:002013-04-24T07:19:39.275-07:00Okay, so the first thing I feel the need to commen...Okay, so the first thing I feel the need to comment on is the fact that you have the word "patience" carved into the side of your round pen. That is a pretty darn good idea, my pen is metal but I could make a few signs to go up there to help me remember. Do you have any other words up there?<br /><br />I must confess as I looked at the pictures of you working with Joseph, I never once thought, "Oh that is so dangerous" It appeared to me in every picture that if he bolted, you had a way out that did not include getting bucked off or trampled. You are quite the acrobat! <br /><br />Poor Bella, hopefully it is just sore and will be ok after a little time. The fact that she can move it is a good sign. <br /><br />PTSD? Perhaps, but a seriously, a less aware person may not have even checked out the noise and then where would poor Bella be? I think a little healthy fear is always a good thing, and your experiences with Tonka, and the fact that you shared the whole story with us, has made me also a little more aware. If I hear loud noises in my barn, I always get up and look now.

I've also had good...Very good day with Joseph. I've also had good luck using treats with withdrawn/shy horses, and also to help horses with fear issues using clicker training. Other than that I don't use them at all, which makes them more powerful when I do. Love all your photos - he's just the sweetest horse and seems to be trying very hard for you even when he's worried.<br /><br />Poor Bella! Makes you wonder how they manage to do these things . . . Hope the tail feels better soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-6345070646428363022013-04-23T21:56:33.783-07:002013-04-23T21:56:33.783-07:00Oh no about bellas tail!

Especially right after it happens, there's nothing physically wrong but you will absolutely avoid using that hand for anything!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850398102722859692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-83630868066795180422013-04-23T20:49:41.828-07:002013-04-23T20:49:41.828-07:00What a good day you had.

Wish you could be at the Mustang Club meeting Thursday evening at 6 same place. Rosie is getting ready to foal in the next couple of weeks. She is getting cranky. Take care.
