Jennie went out yesterday to catch the beast and pull blood for her Coggins. At this point, it looks like it will be the beginning of next week before she's here. Jennie sent me these pictures from yesterday.

Apparently she likes to voice her displeasure by stomping her front feet repeatedly - I can deal with that as long as there's no striking/kicking. And she isn't just difficult to catch but nearly impossible, so she's turned out with a halter on 24-7. For her safety, one of the first things I'm going to do is take it off when she gets here. Until she's relatively reliable in regards to being 'caught', she'll be spending her daytime hours in the small arena or round pen. That's all for now!
Is it me, or does she have darker stripes up the front of her shoulders and sides of her neck? If so, that is SOOO cool!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what she looks like after you've been working with her for awhile. :)
I'm thinking that might be from sweat but she has some stripes on her legs, so it's possible. That would be really neat :D
