Often I hear difficulties loading a horse in a trailer; rarely hear about the adverse effects of transporting. In the event of transporting, the horse can bump against the roof of the trailer with his head from rearing. Skin their legs by stepping on him and banging the side of the trailer for balance.

The behaviors that horses learn and develop at a young age may create struggles later in life. If we are aware of their conduct when the acting occurs, we can assess the situation. Helping the horse manage his behavior with proper training, he learns to manage his instincts. When a horse acts reluctant or jumpy this is behavioral-acting – the horse is following his instincts. When a horse is content with his setting, his conduct is at its best. This is acting behavior; therefore, he is managing his instincts.

The two-week-old filly Sarcanna, exercises her talent running around different things. Darting around the lawn mower, wheel barrel and other uncommon objects, Sarcanna appears sure of herself. The quick reaction of a young foal and the way it moves is amazing to me.

Halter breaking a colt requires time and patience. My wife, Sandra utilizes a portion of her valuable time throughout her day taming our filly, Sarcanna outside the fence. She persuades the filly to come to her with the fence between them. Sandra will use a rope, halter, a brush and talk to the filly to gain her curiosity. This method works well when the colt is looking for something to do.

Here is the photo of the addition to the family. This little filly’s name is Sarcanna until registry. Sires name is Heza Ghost Mover (Bay Tovero) the dams name is Tina Polecat (Bay Tobiano).
