I picked up a husky/collie pup a couple of months ago. He’s got the winter hardiness and build of the husky, with the work ethic of the collie. We lucked out with him. He gets this summer off to play with some training, but once there is snow on the ground he’ll be hauling my firewood sled with me 😀

Keep going Pebbles! I need as much information under my belt as I can get and I’ll look for those books.

I agree with you too Tyler but unfortunately we only have what we have. I can’t afford my own horse, nor the hay. I either try to work with the adult horses here, which I feel is beyond me, or start with the mare and foal with the basics.

The mare’s last foal was sold last June at 1yr old. He had seen the farrier a couple of times and that was it, he was virtually a wild horse in a pasture who wanted to bite and paw at anything that went near him or his momma. Took over 4hrs to get him in the wagon once he was finally sold and I know the same thing will happen with the next foal if I don’t at least try.
