Home Again Home Again Jiggity Jig

Yesterday I got my new horse home. I am renaming her Serenity. She's 5 yrs old and is 3/4 Quarter Horse and 1/4 Arabian. Serenity is a good 15 hands tall and is the largest horse I've owned. My other horses have all been Arabians and in the 14 hand range. Serenity is a clean slate. She leads and that's about all she really knows how to do. Using Natural Horsemanship techniques, it only took me about 30 minutes to get her to load onto the Valley stock trailer.
This afternoon I'll work on her feet. I'll take pictures and keep track of how her feet change and improve over time. I'm a believer in using barefoot/natural hoof trimming and it will be interesting to see her feet from start to finish.
