ParticipantSend the second horse down the last week. Work them together.
March 24, 2013 at 4:32 am #77884ParticipantThat’s what I was hoping to do but she has a foal on her. If the foal is doing well we will wean her at 4 months but that after scarlet is home I will double check my math. Who knows for little extra it may be worth bringing them back if I end up with a better team. I will talk to Ernie to see what he thinks. Eli

April 18, 2013 at 9:59 pm #78598ParticipantI was supposed to send my horse to an Amish horse trainer to finish her training but she has a sore foot. She is six and never was lame or sick in any way, I’m kind of disappointed I feel like I have been waiting forever. All in time. Eli
April 26, 2013 at 2:43 pm #78729ParticipantI finally brought scarlet to the Amish for training I hope all goes well. They were finishing up plowing some sod with 4 Belgians on a 1 bottom plow he said 2 can pull it once they are in shape. Super nice family I have high hopes. Eli
May 27, 2013 at 9:35 pm #79692ParticipantJust a little update scarlet has been in training for a month now and is doing super. She is in better shape than ever. Saturday she was part of a 6 abreast hitch pulling a disk. Ernie has driven her single double triple and part of a 6 abreast hitch. She is much calmer, most likely because Earnie and his Father and Brother are very calm people. I hope to bring her home next week end. I still hope to buy the Halflinger/Belgian and cut hay this summer. But time will tell. I had hoped to do a little field work this spring but it didn’t work out. I have been busy building a cultimulcher all I need is the pole. Eli
