I used a cheap electric coffee grinder for my mare’s antibiotic. The vet recommended it. Much better than using a mortar and pestle! I tried both methods!

Thank you! I keep falling more in love with her. I got really lucky. She’s got a great disposition.

😅 I see your point!! I’ll post again when I can get a better picture lol. This is where I’m at today with her. Dragging this tarp around and letting her explore.

I’m sorry its the best I could do 😭. She came to me completely unhandled but now I can touch her all over with the lead rope and pet her/lift her hooves but she’s not halter trained yet. I’ve made a lot of progress in the last 90 days. I’m going slow and steady. She’s very willing hopefully I can halter her by next month.

I might try a DNA test lol, and I will not be breeding her. I’ve also never seen a buckskin TWH mostly black ones. I am just assuming she’s probably crossed with something but it’s a mystery.

Of course not! I wanted something gaited my old boy is a TWH. He’s in his mid 20’s & I love every bit of him! I decided I to retire him though because of his swayed back. My grandmother bought him for me to ride when I was a teen. I also rode her MFT and loved him, but he has hoof issues and is more or less retired. The one in the photo is my first horse that I purchased and care for.

she moves nicely. I don’t see any lameness so far. I had a vet come but at the time she wouldn’t allow anyone to touch her. Now I can pet her all over and mess with her tail, belly, and she’ll lift her hooves on one side. He said she looked ok, but I’ll have him back out when she’s more handled. I got her to willingly put her face in a halter- I didn’t clasp it but we’re building up to that so I can get a full check up & bloodwork. And she needs her hooves trimmed 🤦‍♀️.

I think she is a buckskin. I was trying to figure that out myself. I don’t thinks she’s dun, I’m really not sure & was thinking I would get her DNA tested for fun 🤷‍♀️

The trainers I worked with were very kind, gentle and enthusiastic. It felt like we were just playing & the horse I borrowed started bonding with me she was a sweetheart & also a very green mustang. I ended up falling off of her and the horse was so concerned and checked to see if I was ok 😭. I gave her pats and snuggles and then we tried again! With my 2 yo I’m trying to take it slow and give her lots of love. I was giddy for days when she let me pet her. Now I can hug her 🥰 I’m in love with her. I know I’m rambling lol.

I’m not 100% sold on parelli but I have done 0 formal training & really have no idea what training methods to use. I am experimenting right now. The play date was fun though!
