Life's been busy!!!!But good. Snap is awesome! We are so thrilled to have him. Everyone at the barn loves him. Don't know if I told you but the owner's daughter had said that the next two ponies they bring in they are going to call them Krackle and Pop! Thought that was funny. But they love him too!
I think Snap enjoys his new place. He shares his 3 or so acre pasture with his buddy Henry and typically just one other horse! He also seems to love hanging out at the far corner of the pasture when we go to get him! Some days he comes right over, other days he look at us like we are crazy! The girls are adamant about keeping Snap's peppermint stash full! Eva also saw some peppermint flavored pony treats at the tack shop the other day and HAD to have them for him! I don't think he'll go hungry any time soon!
I'm hoping to take him to the St. Mary's County Fair Horse Show in September. I think we're just going to do the leadline classes with the girls this go round, but I think they would all love it. My friend's daughter might take him for short stirrup. We'll keep you posted on that! Eva just hasn't had the group riding experience I think she should have before taking him in a class.
As always, you are totally welcome at any time!!!
Take care!

What an awesome horse is right! We absolutely love him. He is sensible and has a kind disposition. When he arrived on the farm, my big, dominant gelding chased him around bt he made fast friends with our gentle 23yo gelding and they pal around together. Today, he has made friends with our yearling Andalusian gelding. That leaves only our Andalusian mare and my Indy who have yet to make friends with him. In time, they will be a tight group.
I have begun Clinton Anderson groundwork with him and he is the best student I have ever had. He learns lessons quickly and really tries to learn. He has no defensive or offensive behaviors which is a first for any of the horses I have trained. If his lessons progress as expected, Ashley will be riding him by next week.
We look forward to getting our AQHA paperwork in order. Thanks for your help with this. It was nice meeting you and picking up our new friend. BTW, his name is now "Boyfriend" or "Boy" for short.
Best regards,
Mark R.

Dublin is being ridden by lesson kids, more advanced ones for now, and they love him. He’s actually become partner’s in crime with my fresh palomino who is three. They broke out of the turnout, went under the electric wire and were grazing on the back of the property. Lol
I have been riding Foster. He’s a bit green for any of my students but I’ve been working him three days a week and am noticing a lot of progress. He wants to please. He’s a real sweetheart, and has the sweetest face (although I call him big head). Lol
Thanks for the info.
Take care, Jenn

Hi Jamie,
Well I had Linus vetted today and everything checked out fine so happily we will be keeping him. We really love him and we’re so happy to have been able to get him.
I think you did a great job with him and I can’t wait to see what else he can do.
As you get other nice ponies please give me a call periodically because I’m always usually looking for something or know someone who needs one and I just really like the way you bring them along. Thanks so much for being so agreeable and easy to work with.
Thanks, Laura
