Next Up For Training
Mr Bailey is a Morgan / American Saddlebred Cross.
He is 15.2 hands and smooth as silk.
He is a 5 year old gelding
Quiz is a Morgan / Tennesse Walker Cross
He is a flashy colored (Liver Chesnut) 5 year old gelding.
Dominee is a Registered Paint Stallion.
He is just 4 years old. Very gentle and easy to work with.
Before You Throw A Leg Over
It happened in 1977.
Vincent Johnson and Frazier Black burglarized a home and stole 2 TV's and a checkbook from the home of Mrs. David Conner. A few hours later, they made one of the checks out to themselves and tried to cash it at a bank. The teller asked them to wait a minute. She went and called security after she left their presence. Why? Because the bank teller was Mrs. DavidConner. The burglars were... "BUSTED!!!"
She knew something the burglars didn't and they failed. That's how they got caught and ultimatley in trouble. That same principle can work against you with horses. But when you know things that get your horse doing what you want, you win. For instance, pro horse trainer Sue Robertson says this in her DVD about lungeing a horse: "This is the basis for riding, creating a carriage horse, or whatever. It's like laying the foundation for the house and it's where respect starts." She goes on to say you can teach the horse to walk, trot, lope, and stop at command.
These are the BIG 4 important things your horse must know. And much of it you can teach before you even swing a leg over 'em. When you lunge, there are certain principles to follow. For example, when you tell the horse to "get out" or "get up", that's what you tell them all the time. Never change it. If you keep using different commands with your horse, it's like moving furniture around when you have a blind man in the house.
Know what else you should do when lungeing? Talk to your horse a lot. Why?
Because you want them paying attentionto you. Because you can teach them vocal commands and get 'em used to it and doing what you want. Because they become familiar with your voice and know you are the leader and hearing your voice again and again cements that in their mind.
And when you're on the back of a horse that's spookin'...your voice is one of the most important tools you have to keep you safe. If you want to know more of what she shows, go to www.SuperStarsOfHorseTraining.com/Robertson-Groundwork

Reflections of years gone by
These are two of the out buildings at the McGibbon homestead. As you may recall, the entire homestead has been donated to us. We are hoping to erect a "Sidley Mountain/Bridesville Historical site on our Sidley Mountain Ranch. It will be nice to give something back to this incredible community. If we don't capture a bit of history the stories told by the old timers will soon fade into forgotten memories. It would be very sad to lose the unique history surrounding this area. I pray we can help prevent adding our communities into the books of Vanishing BC.Tuesday, June 24, 2008

NEW Arrival!
Our mare "JAZZ" threw a beautiful little stud colt two weeks ago. We called him "Freeway". He is pretty neat. Now I just need to wait for my Foal Whispering granddaughter to come and do her thing with this little guy.
Bin' a While
Here is Chief. This fine young gelding is at our place for some spring training. He's a bit skittish but he'll come around. He has a good heart and a kind face. His good bloodlines make him a great prostpect for cattle drives. We are suppossed to be selling him but I got a feel'n he'll be with us a long time.
