Hi to all!  My intentions have been honourable but I have had very little saddle time this spring.  When I did get going Pekoe had something in mind that I did agree with.  If I don't ride for a few months , he challenges me for the leader of the 2 of us.  It is [art of the mutual respect and trust wau of thinking.  This is how it went: I am having him circle around me on a 12 ft rope. He stops and faces me trying to not go forward and a few other odds and sods he threw my way.  My answer to him was: I may be 68, on uneven ground, and walk with a cane but you son of a bitch, don't you try that on me!  I had a longe whip or carrot stick with me. I gave him a lsh on his bum.  His eyes bugged out and he ran and he ran and he ran.  I have not had an incident like that since!  I guess I am scary!

Rosy and Marley are finally home. It feels good to have horses again after being a year without any.

I plan on riding and driving the Newfoundland mare. I have a small wagon and a collar and hames that I hope fit her. I just need to find the rest of the harness..

Are you going to ride them or drive them?  Of course they would also make super pack ponies, I bet they could carry a heavy load of supplies for camping.

With those thick necks it may do you good to look into clicker training.  They look level headed and sane.

Enjoy!!!

Jackie I posted some pictures of Rosy and Marley on my page.

Rosy is about 13.3 and Marley should finish over 14 hands. Newfoundland ponies are like a draft pony. They have a heavy neck.

Yeah Joe, you will have your own horses again!

I'm not very familiar with Newfoundland ponies.  I'd love to see some pictures, even if they look like hairy monsters still.  Are they or will the filly be big enough for you to ride?

Finally we have horses again. I just bought a Newfoundland Pony mare and her daughter who's father is an Appaloosa. Rosy is the mare and Marley is the filly. Marley will be two Sept.11, 2013. We bring them home later in May when the pasture is ready.
