Tonto Two Freckles
2003 AQHA Sorrel Colt
"Tony" arrived at 7:45pm on Tuesday April 29th 2003.
He was a lively lil' ol' cuss and was already displaying his cuttin' skills!
Tony was imprinted (from the moment he
popped out, actually) and loves all the attention that he can get.
You can see Tony's baby pics by clicking HERE.
We started Tony on his more advanced ground work.
Since he's just turned 2, we're starting slowly.
We introduced him to a training bit.
It's very, very light weight and allows him
to get the idea that he will have something in his mouth
in the future. He clacked and tongued it for a little bit
and settled down quickly.
Next was the circingle.
This allows for him to understand that
something will be around his girth area
without any additional weight.
With both of these training aids,
Tony did not shy or get out of control!
We walked around with the bit and circingle
on as well as ponying him with G-man.
We also spent some time in the round pen,
allowing him to run at liberty.
Tony really impressed us with his young mind.
With passing traffic, barking dogs,
and blowing bags, Tony took it all in
and did not spook like most young horses would!
The mark of a true all-around horse in the making!!!
