FOF, WOW you are so lucky to have such a sensible filly! It sounds as if your Simone is just wonderful and adjusting to thing beautifully. I can't wait to see undersaddle pics, when that happens! |

thanks all! I have to say that her mom, Miss Marple, was, is, will always be the most sensible of sensible mares and my dream ride. My wildest hope was/is that she pass it on to her offspring. I will have to wait to see if "dream ride" was passed on :lol: I think "sensible" was.....Simone is my one offspring from this mare. I have other babies now, but they are not from Marple. Happy Mouth now owns this mare, and we await her 2008 babe, an Escudo II offspring! I am a very excited auntie! Meanwhile, if not too tedious, I will post updates as I get them... |

newest update: I bellied up on Simone this evening. SHE WAS PERFECT!! (not surprised, but very happy.) We walked around a little with me laying over her back and she was absolutely not upset in any way. VERY. VERY. VERY GOOD> We may be delayed for a day or so. Not because of anything Simone did, but some of the stitching on my stirrup leather is fraying and I do not want anything coming apart at the wrong moment, so I will have it restitched. I can still lay on her without stirrups, but want everything in place for astride moments. Also, since she is making such good progress I don't mind staying at this point for a few days and making sure she is OK with it, though to judge from her attitude, she is more than OK with it. THIS IS A VERY NICE YOUNG LADY AND I AM VERY PLEASED AND HONORED TO HAVE HER> okay I am and annoying. Pictures to come!

Congrats FOF! Sounds like she's doing so well. I love her photo. I was hoping to get a foal like Simone, and I am hoping I came close with Zuni. Zuni also seems to be sensible about things so far. Good luck with the rest of her backing, can't wait for more updates!

Well done Simone. What a star she is. I just love it when they get to this age and show you that all you did with them worked. So very happy for you. |

I think when Zuni grows up we should do a pairs class with these two fillies. They are like twins FOF! I got so lucky to get a filly similar to Simone. I remember when you posted that photo of her head over the door, I fell in love. I got almost the same head shot of my filly. (my avatar) Wierd isn't it? She is so pretty. I can't wait to see the video!! |

Okay - it is not good, the video (somehow when I upload it falls apart
), but here she is:Day three with saddle (and yes, DJ starts with a nice treeless western-type) and with human UP! I was soo impressed and DJ was all about repeated pats and "good girl" encouragement. I had to back out of the round pen, I was distracting my babe! :lol: Next, trotting in the round pen, then big ring for canter work (it will be a while) and the english saddle. I am just floored. The years have flown by! But she is just being stellar. I loff her. http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g189/rag...edoessaddle.flv |
