Training a Trail Horse
We Are Training Some Good Trail Horses (update)
Well we are into October already, the horses are starting to hair up a bit, and the weather is starting to turn. I got a call today about Blue Jack here and yes he is still for sale. I thought he would be gone by now, I sold a couple of horses recently, Ike went down to Colorado, and Jerry Lee is still living in Whatcom County, but Blue Jack is still here. He is such a nice horse, whoever decides to take him home will really enjoy him. Blue Jack has a special place in my heart because he is like his sire Blue Canal Fisher, and exactly the type of horse I was breeding for. I’d like to sell Blue Jack before the winter sets in so give me a call and I’ll work with you so you can take him home with you.
When I say we, I really mean Stephanie Russo and sometimes me Dale L Anderson. This is how it seems to work best; Stephanie does all the hard work gets the horses going well and then I ride later. I am now 65 and the balance sure is not what it was, so it is nice to have Stephanie helping.
