training is well underway!

Akpai is for sale and these last couple weeks a couple people have looked at her. She has the easiest temperament of the mares for riding and is the smoothest with the nicest strides:

Pagoda is the surprise for riding. I had given up on her as a sound riding horse after [...]

training begins

All the horses are now started under saddle. Akpay is very smooth with great gaits, Pagoda really seems to love being ridden, Darginka isn’t sure she wants to give up control yet and Davinia just loves any attention!

Akhal-Teke videos V: dressage

Akhal-Tekes seem to have the most amazing movement. Here are some YouTube videos of Akhal-Tekes doing dressage, including two historical videos, one with Absent footage, and clips of Grom and Lakmus. Please comment if you know the other horses!

Pan Tau and Horse Around Days

I am dismayed and upset by the reaction of the community to the images of Pan Tau posted previously. The images in no way reflect the character or the training of Pan Tau. (The photos on this header are from AkhalTeke.cc)

Emma and Darginka

Darginka and Emma are learning together and both have bonded with each other…

To bit or not to bit?

Darginka is doing very well in training, except that she really hates the bit. I think she needs to learn to accept it for training, but do we really need to ride with it? Here I go to find opinions on bits on the internet…

Week 3 & 4 training, by Drew & Emma too!

Darginka’s training is going really well. Drew was sick for a week so Emma took over. Darginka now comes running to greet us and is becoming very personable. She is such a sweet horse, we couldn’t have chosen better for personality!

a walk, training week 2, more ponies and a llama

Our entire family have gone for a couple of nice walks on the dike in between storms. Darginka is coming along well and certainly getting more energy! Drew is working well with her. Emma loves to go to the pony pen and watch the little ponies. I’m still waiting for that llama to spit on us!

Training begins! (and some pony fun)

I think I’ve lucked out with our trainer Drew. He is calm and thorough and isn’t rushing the training. His biggest problem seems to be that I have trained Darginka to come in to me and follow me and now Drew has to teach her [...]
