small and sassy

She needs to be boxed during the day and was too small to see over the normal-sized horse doors. So my old boss went out and bought this XD still need to add two more clips to the metal framing but my little girl is much happier being able to see out haha.

Lunging? Driving? Make a child ride it? Minis are able to do work too :P 

 some minis can be ridden if they are large enough and the child is small enough, but pony rides shouldn't be their only workout.

just a taste?

No matter how much I look at these photos, I don’t think the transformation she went through in her first year with us will ever be any less amazing.

Bottom photo eyes: Hell yeah! Bitch, here I am and I am fabulous! You can not handle the sass contained in this little body!

She only likes me when I have food

You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but apparently you can with an old horse! 13yo “Mama” (Beauty) has just begun long-reining training after the sad and very sudden death of my other mini (her daughter Star) two weeks ago. Star was going to be my harness project while Beauty, who can be pretty nervous and headstrong, did a bit of jumping. Now my plans have changed. So far she’s a willing (though argumentative) student.

Look at all that cute in one photo!
