New horses and other news.

I have been slow updating, but we have two new horses at the barn!

Horse #1 is Flicka, She is a lovely Quarter Horse pony that is in training to learn to be ridden English for a young girl. Flicka was a well trained western horse, but has been sitting for a few years, so needs a complete refresher. Hopefully her training progresses well, and then she will be available for students who want extra riding to ride to give her as much experience as possible. So far I have longed her to get used to the English tack, and been on her briefly. She has an AWESOME jog, so almost seems a waste to make her an English horse, but maybe she can be an all rounder.

Horse #2 is Duncan...Janine's new horse! He is also a Quarter Horse, but at the complete opposite end of the gene pool as he is tall and stream lined! Harder to imagine him chasing cows as he resembles the race horse side of the Quarter horse world...but same kind eye and sweet personality.

Not sure what it is about the influx of Quarter horses...but, at least one of them is a chestnut, so chestnuts still rule Hillside!
