This is the summer of 2016, and it has been really uncomfortable weather wise. Politically as well, for what it is worth. We have managed to keep everything moving forward in spite of limited man power. That said, it has all been women power!
Just an update for now. CHF Fitzwilly is home after eight months of hard work finding his rhythm. For what ever reasons, and it was quite clearly explained in our Parelli Horsenality report, he needed an every day job. Since David's recover did not allow time for that, he has been working in Kansas and I am happy to say, he is settled and steady as a driving horse should be.
Talbot's Cracker will not be going to the August show with us due to an injury. He does not like being cooped up but that will have to be his routine for the next week or so. Don't fret too much, he has company in his son, Willy.
Also in the barn are two fillies, CHF Simon's Isabella and CHF Mischa, learning some manners, while being introduced to our driving commands.....such as WHOA! We are on day two and I must say, Isabella is feisty where as, Mischa is so smart it is scary. We reached same level of understanding in two days for our feisty one that took Mischa just one. Will keep you posted on these two.
CHF Hobbs is such a sweet yearling and hopefully our next stallion. A son of 16 year old Talbot's Sparky, he is brave, curious, willing.......and on and on I could go. He has been in and out of barn and takes it all in stride...seriously! Love him!
Under saddle now are Mom and Daughter, Producer's Heiress and Lady Teagan. Thought very different they are both typical of Tom Price's breeding, great to work with and conformationally very spot on. Too hot recently to continue with heavy work so have returned to pasture till cooler weather returns.
Last but not least, CHF Shady Lady has returned to Chocolate Horse Farm. Now four years old, a petite lass, Shady is nicknamed Sophie and is a doll to work with. Though handled very little, she is a super quick study and we have enjoyed getting to know her.
Till the next time, cheerio!
