Sunny Days & Saddle Time!

SPRING DAYS!

We have been able to take advantage of the Spring-like days to work in some quality training! Lots of wins and lots of saddle time. Groundwork too. We did some training with the G.S.H.C. on Friday at a local area, Cearra gave us 100%! On Saturday we did some training at home. Trail work and obstacles mostly. The key now is conditioning. All the horses are a bit out of shape so the plan is to get as much training in as we can. Sadly we have another bout os rain rolling in starting tomorrow so we will have to do our best and make things work.

We have had lots of “interest” on Cearra on the various forums and via emails. The struggle is the flake factor. People say they are interested. We send information, set up appointments and then THEY DON’T SHOW UP! Or in course of discussion it becomes apparent that either something is just “odd” or they are bat-shit crazy! We have “fired” some folks based on the discussion or their lack of willingness to answer some basic screening questions! It is not like she is overpriced for the market at all (asking $3000.00) and between her age, her breeding and her training up to this point the price we are asking is SUPER fair! Hell, she dang near loads herself in the trailer!

We did get to craft some NEW VIDEO too! You can check them out at these links:
