Three In One Year
Talking is not always teaching, and proving always requires demonstration. How can one best demonstrate the value of natural horse care, natural hoof care, while at the same time demonstrating the extraordinary abilities of the nearly extinct wild Spanish mustangs of Corolla?
Tradewind was captured because he was utterly crippled with founder. Pete Ramey style natural hoof care made him sound. Living as horses are intended to, with out the triple curses of sugar, stables, and shoes, have kept him healthy. He is a touch less than thirteen hands and I am a touch over 220 pounds.
It would make a strong statement if he could carry me so many hours on the trail that he became the Horse of the Americas Registry's Pleasure Trail Horse of the Year.
Ta Sunka and Holland will be getting more rest time. As for Tradewind, every step you take, every move you make, I'll be riding you.
He will demonstrate the truth that Pete Ramey, Joe Camp, and Karen MaCalpin already know.
When it comes to Corollas, we do not speculate, we demonstrate.
That is a worthwhile goal. Best of Luck!
