In a previous post I mentioned that I would be in Tasmania, Australia for 2 months starting some horses under saddle.
That time is now! I’ve already been here for about 10 days and rode one of the Appaloosas, Lace, for the first time yesterday! Time has been flying by and I wish I could’ve found the time to write more, but it’s never too late to start, right?
It’s an interesting mixture of horses – a „reactive“ yet playful, curious and confident warmblood; A very smart and sensitive warmblood who was raised out in a pasture with no human contact. She is as light as a feather and very good natured, but still needs to learn a thing or two.; A 2 year old Appaloosa-Quarter cross who was raised with Parelli from day one; An Appaloosa mare who has developed a hatred for the cinch; A little pony named Clara; Last but no least, a very calm and confident Appaloosa mare.
As they develop, I will try my best to share their stories with you!
