Palomino!!!

Guess whay everyone!  I'm getting a 3 year old Palomino!!!!  his name is Kacey.  he's so sweet and gentle. I have to train him myseld and with some help of a friend!  This will give me a chance of trying some join-up stuff from a Monty Roberts book I'm reading. (uncase any of you don't know who he is, he's a natural horsemanship trainer.)  the process is ypu bring him in a round pen and fix your eye on theirs and square your body towards them and they'll start running around the pen.  once they fix their ear toward you look down at their shoulder and that'll make them trot. evntually he'll star licking and chewing and sten start running with his head low to the ground and what they're saying is , I'm ready to trust you I'm ready to come back into the heard.  Then you turn your back to him and they'll come right up to you and follow you around.  and you wonder how the horse would somehow already know this. :-)  out in the wild some people think the stallion is in charge.  he's not he is the protector.  there is a lead mare and she is in charge.  she also is the dicipliner, when a young colt is misbehaving she'll fix her eyes in it and drive it out of the herd.  and when the colt starts doing the licking and chewinf anf the head to he ground thing anf when the mare thinks the colt should come back in she'll turn her back to it.  but then Monty Roberts can train a horse to take a saddle and rider and to trust him a half hour forty minutes!  I'll probably drag it out for a couple months.  I'm gonna show him in halter class this year though.  and I was doing hippology and I'll tell you what tha is because pretty much everybody I say I did that they say huh?  it learning about horses. and my team took first place!  and then induvudyally I got first too!!  oh and I was doing a puiblic presentation and made it all the way to district for my first year and me and my friend were foing a team presentation.  and we got first place!!!  well G2G
