It was pretty amazing, being on an Amish Farm......I loved it!!!! QUITE
the tales to tell!!!! Along with the Myler bit that I took, and am getting
back this evening when I catch up with Libby Flowers (breeds Sport Morgans
and Warmbloods here in Calif), I had also taken my GPS. I would wear it
whenever we were out driving, and the Amish Farmer just LOVED it!!!!! He
would change the paces and keep asking me, "NOW how fast are we going?"
The pair could really open up on the straight aways!!!! OK, so the trucks
still passed us going a LOT faster!!
My two boys are 4 years old and 2 years old. The 2 year old will only be
lightly worked until next year, but will be putting him in with the 4 year
old a bit as we go along. The 4 year old is the more dominant horse, at
least out of harness, that I know of for sure. Is there usually a dominant
horse in a pair? What are the pros and cons to having a dominant member of
a pair? What is the happy medium? There aren't any issues when they are
together in harness, that I know of.......so hopefully this is just "hang
time" behavior. They will be in a different environment, and I want to
keep things pleasant between the two.
For turnout time, should they always be together? Be next to each other in
separate paddocks? The will each have their own barn space.....they have
been in tie stalls, with turnout time. Am I thinking too much???
