Sierra's 2nd ride on Caballero January 20/10

I added the link, but I think you need to click on the actual title of this post to see the video...so try it and let me know if it works. Turn down the volume if you don't want to hear me babbling on at her :)

Sierra's new Horse

It's Caballero.
He was mine, but we just bought a new gelding, a 5 year old morgan/percheron cross "Muddy". He is much bigger and sturdier and thus immensely better suited to carry me!
Sierra was outgrowing Srgt. Pepper so he has found a new home with some friends of ours that are starting up a ministry where horses and at risk youth/families will be paired up to work through healing together. Very cool and he is being well taken care of by their 3 young boys.
However, that left Sierra without a horse so now she has taken over Caballero. He is a great size for her, perfect age and seems to be very good fit personlity wise. She is tough enough mentally and determined so she can be his leader. She is also gentle enough not to scare him. They have now had 2 rides together and have done lots of ground work. They are adorable together! I will post a link next so you can see their second ride and how good he is about lowering his head for her to work with him! I love watching them. We are pretty sure they will be ready to have riding lessons together come spring out at the TL bar Ranch.


Come rain or snow....we have been managing to get out there almost every day to see them! So much fun!
