A blog that focuses on our unique program that teaches natural horsemanship, heritage breed conservation, soil and water conservation, and even folk, roots, and Americana music. This blog discusses our efforts to prevent the extinction of the Corolla Spanish Mustang. Choctaw Colonial Spanish Horse, Marsh Tacky, and the remnants of the Grand Canyon Colonial Spanish Horse strain.
Tradewind, a Corolla stallion, once utterly crippled with founder, who now, thanks to Pete Ramey trimming techniqes, experinces no discomfort what so ever.
Don't know of pete ramey, but I'd guess he might be a practitioner of the same things as Jaime Jackson. We had the pleasure of having Jaime at the ranch the other day. Lori knows him and has work with him, I had not met him. He was amazed at the good condition of our Sulphur's hooves, in fact, he asked who had been trimming them... Only one had been trimmed while her in the year we have had them, that was Gizmo shortly after I got him back, due to too long in the hoof. . The girls have done a great job of keeping their feet in fine shape. BTW only a couple solid black hooves out of 16 hooves on the place there are a few Striped hooves due to a spot of color in the coronet band on all the horses.
What a lovely peaceful picture---riding into the quiet snowy woods on a wild horse. That is what it is all about and why I feel that nothing is more grand than exploring God's country on the back of a beautiful horse. Every time I see Tradewind it makes me happy to see him doing so well and 100% sound again. Thank you Steve for giving him a wonderful life!
