Tonight we said goodbye to our beloved Buddy. He filled a very large hole in my heart when I lost my world champion. I'm so grateful to have been able to share the last 20 years with him. Run free. You were a gift of love and kindness. There's never enough time with these special ones.
Students asked me recently for pointers on circling the cow, the final task in the working cow horse run. As a NRCHA/AQHA judge, I pointed out we want to see you get right up to the cows ears and be the reason the cow cirlces and turns, not chase the cow from behind, but guide it around in a circle, mirror the cows movements. And then today Hunter Hays at the NRCHA Derby in Scottsdale showed us all how its done! Way to go Hunter!!!

Today we started rehabbing Jiminy after hock injections. Prior to having nearly 2 months off to try to diagnose the problem, we finally found he was very sore in both hocks, and unable to lope at all in either direction. Now today, using the Pessoa System, we are on our way to strenghthening his core and getting him back into work.
Because I trained this horse, he is very comfortable with me and this system. You need to prepare a horse for this type of work. Learn more about the Pessoa System-
(https://youtu.be/FAb0j55Uue4?si=TcucPn2qqsewhR4K) a useful tool to stenghten a horse's core and carry themselves correctly without being on their back. They learn to carry themselves. With so many possible adjustments, you can address whatever assymetry you are dealing with.
Helpful to rehab a colic patient, or in this case after a lay off.
