Only a few short days ago baby Stormy saw her first pond ever. And today she was swimming it it. I don’t think there’s much of anything she’s going to be afraid of. Mouse has been in the pond twice in three years. Mariah took an involuntary dip when she fell through the ice during our first winter here in Tennessee. But that’s it. Cash won’t even get his toes wet in order to have a drink. And he stood there today watching Stormy with his mouth hanging open. So to speak. This kid is not even three months old!
The photo below was taken a few days ago, just moments after Stormy saw the pond for the first time.
Wow, Uncle Skeeter! What a big tub!
The next day Skeeter and Mouse watched pretty much in awe,
as Stormy played with the pump we added to keep the
pond from freezing in winter.
She started off this morning stomping across Mouse’s tarp and then dragging it to the other side of the round pen :)
And ended the day with a nice swim.
All while Mama Saffy was half way across the pasture. I really don’t think moms should just drop their kids off at the pool and leave them with no supervision whatsoever. Well… there was Uncle Skeeter.
Something tells me Miss Firestorm is going to be quite a handful. Kathleen and I better be at the top of our game :).
If you would like more information on gentling mustangs, you should look at : http://www.denstarfarm.us/Index.htm. Robert is amazing with mustangs, with horses other trainers have called hopeless, dangerous, etc.
Pretty cool. Mustang Poker. Reminds me of our “No Agenda Time”. Similar results :)
Looks like you have a future eventer on your hands! It’s great to see such a bold, young horse. I’m sure she’ll keep you on your toes.
Yes, but in Olympic Swimming :)
