Our Fastest Horse?

 


Hard to believe but for a 50 mile ride I think that it would be Tradewind, the wild Corolla stallion that was captured becuse he had foundered to the point that he walked on the side of his hoof. Pete Ramey style hoof trimming, low sugar diet, and hundreds of miles in the woods have made him 100% sound. In a few more weeks I will breed him to a Shackleford mare and two Corollas.

At the conclusion of future posts you may see a horse's name with a number beside it. That will be the number of hours that I rode a given horse for that week. It is easier for me to keep all of my records in the same place.

  1. That's a good picture of him, from what I noticed about his personality was that he's calm, submissive, and obedient. Am I right? ;)

  2. Pat Parelli says that a horse will jump higher and run faster out of heart and desire, you have a good bond with this horse.
