Fair Thee Well My Boy
We spent four days last week at the Isle of Wight Fair demonstrating how we tame and train the Corollas. The fair was well attended, over 20,000 visitors. My riders were great in the demonstrations. Emily Marble, Jacob, and Wendy rode Red Feather for the crowd. Best of all, Wendy stayed on when he began to buck and softly brought him down.
Most importantly, at this fair Red Feather learned to be comfortable with something touching his back legs. This was a huge step for this horse who could never be tamed.
