Breago is home

[truemaloy]

Hey all I wanted to share some pictures of Breago. He was # 1242. We left at about 3 am Friday morning so we could make to Ocala, FL at 9 am. I saw several of the internet adoption horses there including another Kiger stud. We stayed for about 2 hours looking and filling out paperwork. We got back around 2:30 that afternoon. Everything went flawlessly.

Breago and the little black filly settled in pretty quick and went through their hay like lawnmowers. I was very impressed with Breago's disposition. He was very calm and stoic for the whole trip. He loaded and unloaded like a pro. He still hasn't let me touch him and I don't want to push it too quickly. He will let me stand close and just hang out around him. I sometimes sit next to his trough and he is cool with that.

And did I mention what a good lookin horse he was? I think he is a bit taller than the 14.3 they had him listed at. I have had multiple compliments on his looks and attitude.

Anyhoo enough rambling. Here's the pics:

Thanks so much! I am very proud of him and I think he is possibly the best looking horse I have ever seen.

What a nice looking boy! His weight is good too. I'll bet he settles in quickly.

Thank you very much!

He is settling down pretty good. I haven't done a lot with him really. Mainly just hanging out in his pen and doing a bit of clicker training using hay for treats. He caught onto it in short order touching dixie cups and w/e else I can find to tap on. He will touch me, but he shies when I try to touch him. I haven't tried to push the issue too much.

He broke the snapper I had on his drag line. I knew I shoulda tied the line directly to his halter, lol. Oh well no big deal.

How's it going? I've wondering how clicker training would work with w wild one. these guys are so smart and adaptable, Seems like it should work well, how do you find it?
