Sweet Medicine, a Corolla colt with a little stifle problem, had his first training session today. He took his first saddling with no resistance. He has very little muscle tone and will not be ridden until he bulks up. He has a typical Corolla mind and learns everything as fast as I can teach it.
He will be eligible for adoption to someone that wants to put this stallion in the Corolla off site breeding program. He will be ready to go in about two months.
The other injured stallion that we took on that was removed from the beach, Edward Teach, has completely recovered from his wounds, is well along with his saddle training, and will likely have his first heavy trail ride tomorrow. Edward is also available for a qualified adopter that will maintain him in the off site breeding program.
The opportunity to adopt adult, gentled wild Corolla stallions, especially ones that are trained to ride, has never existed before. This is a special opportunity to participate in the effort to prevent the extinction of these horses in a very personal way.
It would be a shame to let this opportunity pass.
