Bringing up baby

For those of you who don't read my blog lol.

Twist is a horse I have in for training/consignment. She's the one I posted the video of a while back who rates and fences calves on command with no tack or rider.

Anyway, she's recently turned 2 and this is her first time loping under saddle (not counting once on the trail) and her first real work out. She starts showing in September.

I'm really happy with her. She's going to be quite the performance horse. I had more pics the next day, but I deleted them on accident :innocent::huh::huh:

Showing her in what?

Right now we just take her to little team sorting stuff at MyJestic. She'll do a few AQHA shows in green classes then we'll see from there.


Thanks all for the comments. She's really green but has a lot of potential.

ETA: She will be mostly showing IBHA come October. Especially in Dun Factor. Her owner wants her to do the IBHA circuit for 2009/2010

Very pretty mare! Keep us posted on how she's doing!

Thanks all. I rode her last night in the snaffle. I'm doing a lot of counter flexing and flexing with her right now. And just getting some nice, forward trotting. I'm not bothering much with her head at the moment. But she's a great little mare. I did take a intentional spill..only because my billet popped off and I had to dive for the dirt before I got hung up under her. Once I caught her and fixed it I got right back on and she was perfect.
