Boogie was stirring up the herd this morning trying to get them to run
and play with her in the snow. Andre was the only one who started
playing a bit. I decided that she was being so comical I needed to get
pictures. I hope you all enjoy these new pics of Boogie!

The trainers worked with Boogie this
weekend and while she did great with being around people and being
handled, she was not sure how to lunge. She still has issue with
touching her sides and wants to kick out with leg pressure. She was
ridden by the trainers and the recommendation is that Boogie needs an
experienced rider that can help her continue her training.

Today the Chiropractor stopped by so we had him take a look at Boogie's
back to make sure she didn't have any issues. She was fine, so we
decided to see how she did with a rider. One of our volunteers sat on
her bareback with no issues at all, even when being led forward she
moved along with no problems. When leg pressure was applied to her sides
slightly, she reacted by pinning her ears and scooting her rear in that
direction. She is very sensitive, so the rider decided to put pressure
on her shoulder muscle and got the same reaction. Only when the rider
pulled her mane and leaned into the direction that she wanted to go, did
Boogie not respond by pinning her ears and moving her rear. We did this
exercise of leaning without touching her sides and Boogie seemed to
respond very well to this technique. We are guessing that perhaps she
had had spurs used on her in the past and that she is anticipating being
prodded with spurs. This issue is going to take some time and patience
to work through, but Boogie is willing to learn!
Do you have the time and patience to work with this
BEAUTIFUL girl?

Boogie is a 12 year old Arabian/Thoroughbred Cross. She leads very well
and has very good ground manners. She is very easy to catch and really
likes people. Boogie needs a person that is willing spend time and work
with her under saddle. She needs to be able to form a close bond with
her human. |
