My horse as a judges horse!

Who would have thought my Hag could behave well enough to be used to judge bird dogs? Lol, I have to admit she was the least favorite of the three as she"is too much horse", lol. A judges horse is all about letting the judge concentrate on the dogs and not the horse. Most handlers also want a horse who will stay out of the way, a few have found that a horse who does his job is even better. Anyone who knows me knows I want my horse to make things as easy on myself as he or she can.

Here is Smokey

He was foaled June 1st 2006. I have gotten a round pen but only have minutes a day to spend with Smokey. He is coming along well but good thing I have two years to ride him. Actually if you look at the photo you will see he is not sweaty and blowing, even though this was the end of the lesson. The lesson was partly that someone new was at the rail taking photos. Smoky has not been handled much. I will call the vet to geld him next week. Smoky has registration papers in the Part Walking Horse Registry. He is 7/8ths walking horse.

A walking machine

This guy is a treasure. Of the two geldings this guy needs to stay. He walks all day long, no matter how fast the group travels, he can go fast and smooth always. I have no idea what his breeding is or where he came from. I will try to track him back when I have a little time. Right noe we are having too much fun with the field trails and I have horses here to train too. I am making slow progress with the colt but I am spending a few minutes a day is all. If I knew how nice of a horse he would turn out to be I would have given him a better name.
