John Stanley & Sapphire

John is a trainer who came out and spent 3 hours wth us. Here is is trying to see what reaction he would get from waving his hat.. Sapphire didn't really spook or move to far away...

Sapphire checking John out. He earlier tried to get her to move out by swinging a lead rope. He said that she is a really good minded mare.

John was showing me the length of lead rope to keep loose. (As if I didn't know) :)

John working on desensitizing herback legs....

John had his jacket on his head to see how she would handle something strange. She was fine...

Sapphire's First Official Trimming

Feet before triming. They realy are in good shape. She did not get the back ones done, as we are still working on picking them up.

Kay is seeing how she is at having her feet picked up. She was very good...

Isn't she wonderful?? (Sapphire, that is)

Kay is just seeing how she is with her back legs. She will be coming out to spend an hour with us to see if we can get them picked up. Since her feet aren't in bad shape, I don't want to push her to hard... They will get done in time...
