Just an update. Courage is a very good saddle horse now. The last
three times we went out on trails Courage has led. As long as he
doesn't try to snack I give him his head and he cuts the trails
perfect. When we head towards the barn he kicks in what I call the
barn stride - just under trot speed- very brisk. We have to stop and
wait for everyone to
catch up - courage stops then turns his head to watch everyone - when they
get within about 20 feet he takes
off again.
I have started driving training . First ground drive was in round pen then
we have ventured into arena. I got him a good harness. We have been
using the breast plate and saddle to pull around a tire. Courage shows
no concern about pulling something behind him.

Just wanted you to know that Courage arrived in good condition and
right on schedule. Two people offered to buy him as soon as he got off
the trailer. I am positive that he is the fanciest colt in the Florida
panhandle. We had some trouble getting a lady (dressage trainer) off
the trailer as
another one of your horses (Winning Colors) was her pick from the
video. She just loved Colors and wouldn't get off the truck until the
transporter told her he was going with or without her on board. Thanks
again for keeping Courage's purchase a secret from my Wife . We will
surprise her today now that he is settled in . I will write again to
let you know her reaction. Don't be surprised if you get some calls
from people in this area - the tape you sent is getting worn out and
now one of your beautiful babies can now be seen in person.
Thank You Again
