Little horse with a big story

This colt was born to Ruby Too on Easter Sunday. I checked them after church and found Ruby had a retained placenta. We took care of that and all was well. Three months later, Ruby was found dead in the pasture. Her two pasture mates adopted and raised this colt.

    Best advice: always stop at a good place. It was good to see him smack his lips and lick at the end of the session. Good job! I think Ruby’s Final CD would be a good name for this colt. I’m looking forward to more training videos on this youngster.

    Jason, you're a bad ass dude! I love your horsemanship. I've got a name suggestion for the colt. "Ruby's Red Rock" The name "Ruby"for obvious reason, his mother's name was Ruby. "Red" because of his color. Then "Rock". because he was born on Easter Sunday in representation of the stone that was rolled away in honor of our Lord's resurrection. Just a thought. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Man, I love horses.

    We have done the "join up" with ours and we aren't horse trainers or even have a big horse ranch with all kinds of experience like you. :). We got a rescue Belgian mare who was deathly afraid. It took a bit, but the join up helped her to trust me (and my daughters when they would work with her) and see us as herd leaders. We are still working with her and it's a process. I tell my girls to watch your videos to see what else we can learn to help her and the others. Thank you for posting these. 😊💞

    Ruby's Last Stand. You already know it but you are doing it right. I'm an old lady and still starting mule colts. I can't ride them anymore, I'm too stove up but I can get the ground work done and saddle them up, or harness the drafts, even drive them a little. I still work on their feet, as in trim them, but this year the feet are taking too much out of me. Especially on the green ones. Mules are a little more sensitive about feet. I sure enjoy watching you. I learn a lot but its also confirmation for what I do too. Thanks for spending the time to share with everyone and I want to win those spurs even though I can't ride. They'll look good hanging on the wall.
