Private Western Lessons

Roans are usually born a solid color. Blue roans are born brown. I was really excited to see his color at birth, a good chance he was going to be a blue roan, which is a very pretty color.

I halter break foals by 2 days old. They learn to be restrained, have their feet picked up and I like to set stuff on their backs such as a shirt, or stuffed toys. I also run clippers around them. This is repeated daily for their first year. 

My foals are born with a tarp in their stall. To them, it's natural and the tarp becomes a security blanket. I also add other things for them to explore, poles, cones, anything safe. I remove it all at night

De sensitizing foals to things that usually frighten horses, at the baby stage is vital. And later on they will be much easier to saddle break and ride. 

Arena playtime should include safe obstacles. 

The Fox started going to shows at 4 months old. His mom went with him. Before the show he learned to trailer with mom, we went for short drives, he was loaded and un-loaded. 

Gucci was owned by my boss at Tiara B. She was part of his band of mares. She is reining bred and trained. She has had 4 foals. Her color is recessive, so she usually throws the sires color to her foals.

Melody was Gucci's filly, born 2017. She turned into a dark red roan

Gucci raises really happy foals. 

Gucci is a good role model for her kids.
