Willa and Cleo Begin Training

Apparently we didn't get any pics of Willa driving but they're both doing really good.  Walk, trot, stop, back a little, turn on the forehand a little.  Nice and relaxed, as I like it.


Cleo's picture kinda spotty but look at that carriage.  I don't think she has any feet on the ground.  She was just a little humpy with the saddle but they both settled in to it and the bit really well.


Cleo has gotten a lot more energetic and Willa has gotten a lot quieter, the result of lots of bend and head down work.  We've finally got all the spring hair balls trimmed from the bellys but still a few more to go on Willa's hips.  A great opportunity to work on stand still, correctly bent, head down and no you can't step in to me (Willa not Cleo). That was the first lesson Cleo learned.


These girls were sired by the same pony stud.  I don't think these two are for sale but they have lots of others that are.  http://www.copperfieldequestrian.com/index.html . Email them for info, there are many not listed on the website, all different sizes but all good movers with great temperaments.
