Last days of Training


Training the horses to deal with unusual conditions is important as the will be facing these conditions while on the trail. Here we see Coralie teaching Boo not to be spooked by a tarp. This is important as the horses will be tied near the camp areas where tarps will be hanging and flapping around. Well Boo couldn't care less and all the horses were more curious then scared, even when the tarps were flapping. They all walked over them happily and got big ticks for tarp training. Way to go boys!!!

And so it begins

It is now official. The truck is booked and on Monday 31st May 2010 the horses will be transported north to where our lovely ladies, Coralie and Anni, will begin their journey along the National Trail. We wish them safe travels and hope the weather is kind to them. I will try to keep this blog as up to date much as I can with whatever information is sent to me through out their adventure. Good Luck and blessed be :)
