It has been 2 months since we brought the two wild horses in from the Mountains of Chilcotin and what progress we are making with them.
Emilia (one of our Guides) has been spending a lot of time with them trying to earn their trust and respect. If you want a calm, stable, reliable mountain horse you need to build a partnership that will lead into and an amazing team.Emilia has started building a relationship with these horses and they put their total trust in her. The bond has become visible.
Before we start putting the saddles on we put pack boxes on them to get them used to the weight. We test their limits by gradually filling the pack boxes with bells and rocks to get them used to noise and movement.
We look forward to the day we can ride these terrains side by side with them.
