About Time..

It is about time for another post in this blog. Alot has happend in the past little while.
We have started to introduce him to the other horses. He seems to do alright with our Quarter Horse Hank. Though of course, Hank's mare is Coco, so there is a bit of a problem there. But when Coco isn't around they stand by each other, sniff each other, and sleep by each other. If she comes by though, Hank will ditch Salty and follow her, but she is apart of his herd so I can understand that. We have also put Shorty, our 30 year old percheron gelding, in with him. He is a bit more scarier than Hank because he is 17 hands rather than 15.2. Not to mention Salty is 14.3 hands high. But Salty will come up and sniff him.

Our draft cross, Pepsi, will come up and sniff him over the fence. Pepsi is almost 17.2 hands and the boss of the herd. He is also Coco's baby, and he is four years old. Salty is a intimidated by him. Pepsi is a scary fellow, and when his mom is near Salty and Pepsi is out with her, he will charge him over the fence. But Salty stays away from him. Yesterday though, Pepsi can and sniffed Salty (a friendly sniff I think), Salty squealed and Pepsi, unusally moved away from him and started eating. Pepsi doesn't normally do that, he will just make the horse in more discomfort, but who knows maybe he is maturing.

Salty is doing very well, my Grandma gave me her bridle and it fits Salty very well and he takes the bit. But another thing that surpirsed me, but didn't surpirse me at the same time, was that he accepts the saddle. He is only cinchy but I massage his belly and that before I put the do up the cinch. Right now he has a western saddle on him, because I don't have an english one that fits him. But I hope to buy one! I will also have to buy a bridle then as well. But I was going to have him western as well as english if he was trained. So hey, I got the horse I wanted for a long time :D.

I will post pictures in a little bit, of who he is meeting. I also have a camera now so I will get someone to take pictures of him in the saddle and bridle. And hopefully get some of me on him!! I haven't gotten on him yet, I want to get his problem with the cinch a bit better before I do.
