Fern Valley's Phoenix, that is !!!
My blue eyed handsome boy is home, and we are HAPPY!!!!
I went to try him out and bring him home ,and I am very pleased. He is settled, willing soft and responsive, just as he should be.I think I will keep him LOL
First I watched Justin ride him a bit , not as much of what he has been doing is shown but it was a busy day there getting ready for a futurity. He has been used to turn back cattle and also they have been "working him on the flag " (useful for cutting and penning) I would have liked to see that, but I needed to get down there more than I did .Sometimes being busy is good, but sometimes it sucks! Anyhow as you can see , my "Fix" did get over his fire breathing dragon moment/s that he had when he first got there and has settled into the good horse I knew he could be.
Then , I got on. Geoff kindly agreed to take a few pictures of me .Thankfully after the trainwreck which was me mounting up! Lets just say that although it was not pretty I got there (bad hip, and knee, sore shoulder all conspired to make a mess of it ) And that in itself also showed what a star Phoenix is , ! He stood , feet solidly planted and waited for me to flopscramblewrithe onto his back!
Stay Safe
He looks good! Nice to have that solid foundation no matter what you do with him.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteHe looks good, and relaxed. I really like the way he gets under himself when walking out...that's nice. What a handsome boy he is!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, isn't he looking well!
ReplyDeleteCongrats and kudos for a colt well-started!
They did a nice job on him, he looks relaxed and happy- and you look good on him! I hope he has a good career under saddle as well as in the breeding pen.
ReplyDeleteYou look good up there!
ReplyDeleteHe looks so good!! I bet you are happy to have him home too!

I have no idea what my hand is doing so high in the third pic fairly out of character for me . Must have thought the reins were a microphone lol

ReplyDeleteHave to say, pretty nice arena too.
Handsome guy. Must have been a wonderful ride, you look great together!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteSo how did it feel up there?
Cut yourself some slack woman. You two look great together.I sure wished I lived closer...I would really ....really like to put a Team Penning team together.No one here does it and no cows to practice with.You'll find your way to something to keep that handsome horse occupied...maybe even if it's working your own cows.
