Slowly learning to all get along....

This has been a week of lessons. We have been trying to get to know the horses and have them get to know us. The horses have had training, probably much more than we. So we have been reading alot and putting our new knowledge to the test. This is Marti riding Tanner with Daddy leading them around the pasture. Both horses came with some tack and right now we are riding utilizing bare-back saddles.



We tried to purchase both a western and english saddle but they didn't fit. It seems buying a saddle might be harder than buying a pair of jeans for my teenage son, Christopher. Anywho, I digress. Neither fit the horses. Both were too narrow in the gullet area.



This is a picture of Katlyn, aka the Pioneer Princess, giving Lena a pedicure (cleaning out her hoofs). Please don't miss her perfect pasture footwear - pink suede furry slippers. Always the diva.

So many lessons to learn around the homestead....we are always open to any helpful hints. Feel free to post in the comments section. Looking forward to a new day and a new lesson....
