Family Horses II
Here is a shot from yesterday's Smithfield Christmas Parade that says a lot about our program. Bill and his daughter Lea were two of the hits of the parade. Both were riding Corolla Spanish mustangs. Both have completed fifty mile in a day rides with us. Both have built on the knowledge that they brought to our program to the degree that both are able to train a colt to face the challenges that our horses face in the woods with each ride. Lea has a beautiful American Indian Horse named Washikie that she trained. Bill has put countless hours into helping with maintenance and construction and now handles all of our tack repair. Take a look at that saddle. He made it and his head dress.
Kids, history, families, hard work,hard riding, natural horsemanship, promotion and protection of Corolla Spanish mustangs--that is Mill Swamp Indian Horses and Bill has been a big part of making it that way.
