A Cameo Appearance

We’ve finally decided on a name for our little filly; Cameo Appearance, Cameo for short. We’d like to thank Diane Armitage and Ritambhara Marylee Tyson for their suggestions to us through our facebook page. They will both receive a printed and signed photo of Cameo as a thank you.

Cameo was born in mid august, she is very tame and loves people. Up until this point I have intentionally handled her as little as possible, just enough to get her from the stall to the paddock. I will have a lifetime of handling her and so I have enjoyed just watching her play and enjoy herself. Within the next couple of weeks I will start getting Cameo ready for the halter and I will keep you updated. In the mean time, please enjoy these photos taken over the last month. They were taken by my dear friend and professional equine photographer, Robin Duncan.

Noel Update! Part 3

As promised, here is an update with Noel. I took him out on the hills surrounding the James Creek Ranch after a short play in the round pen. He has come such a long way and I am so proud of him. I hope you enjoy!

Incase you haven’t seen, here is the video taken the day we adopted Noel. 

Morning Theory Talk at the James Creek Ranch

For our first morning theory talk I brought Jack along to demonstrate. I was explaining the importance of properly balancing a horse before asking for him to move. The key here is to remember that a horse can’t move without first preparing his body to do so. This is why bend and balance are so important.

Reverse Oreo

I’ve been slowly building up my leadership with Cam so I can bring Jack and Quincy alongside him. It’s taken a lot of time to make sure the stallion inside Cam doesn’t take over and be aggressive with the geldings. I call this the ‘Reverse Oreo.’  What would you call this?
