Parasite Report and More on the Tom Thumb

Remember the conversation we had with Dr. Smith of Gomers, Inc. the makers of Karbo Combo? Well, we've been using Karbo Combo for awhile now and want to report to you the latest results of our horses fecal egg counts.

We also explore more about the transition to the Tom Thumb bit and tell you how to stay motivated when the temperatures soar.

We have all that and a little more.

Enjoy!

Transition From The Snaffle and More Team Sorting

After watching the June NWC DVD I decided I have been stuck in the snaffle and want to try to move on.  Ranae and I talk about the transition, the challenges, and why we think it's important.

And, we do more team sorting!  I'll tell you about my experience being team up with two distinct groups - a Downunder group and a non-Downunder group.  It was all good and we learned a lot.
We recorded this in our garden on a lovely Sunday afternoon.  We hope the ambient noise is not too much of a distraction.

We Got Our June NWC DVD and the Sheath Cleaning Song

Ah, summertime! It's triple digits here in Bakersfield, but we still managed to eke out a couple of rides over the weekend. We received our No Worries Club June DVD with Ian Francis demonstrating reining manuevers. Our horses hate it when we get a new DVD.

And, a treat as special as the task itself - it's The Sheath Cleaning song. Friend and listener Ginger Patrick called our listener line at 206-426-6484 and recited this song describing the special bond one builds with a gelding. I laid some music under it and, if nothing else, you will get a laugh out of it. Thanks, Ginger!

Enjoy!
