Palomino's Training Journal-Showtime!

Haha yeah nah I’m terrified of jumping. I used to shake before it was my turn in the course

I am the same way before each round!! Only I just get way too nervous about having a clean round. I've always loved watching full size jumpers, but the higher they go, the better chance you have of really getting hurt. With the minis my horses can fly, but I stay on the ground the whole time. Means a lot of running, but it is very fun!

Thank you! Minis are great little horses. I can assure you that mine do not look at all showy right now in their winter woolies! They look more like stuffed animals.

I love it when they get all floofy

I'm looking forward to spring when they are slick again, but for now, here are 3 fluffy horses!

Adorable! The one on the right has a cool mane When I bought my minis they were kinda wild, their manes were so long and ragged, tangled and some chunks were riped out so I cut it all off And they were stepping on their tails so I trimmed them too

 

[Palomino]

That can happen. Sounds like they are lucky to be with you!

The dark mini on the left in the picture likes to rub if he's pastured and for a long time his mane was simply horrible to look at. Now after over a year of being stalled, he finally has one to speak of, probably for the first time in his life!
I love long manes and tails. The palomino stallion's tail sweeps the ground by several feet. I keep it wrapped when I'm not working with him so he doesn't step on it. It will look so nice when he is driving in the show ring!

My 33 year old Tennessee Walker mare has a long tail that touches the ground. She is retired and gets to hang out and eat. LOL

Tennessee walkers are all around elegant and one of my favorite breeds. I'm sure she was wonderful to ride. I can't remember seeing a picture of her!

Here she is. Her name is Sparkles.

This is Sparkles with her daughter. I finally sold my mule.
