Romeo

Speaking of names we haven't heard in a while...

After I started him under saddle, Romeo, Jen's TB/Percheron, went on a handful of trail rides then got most of the winter off to continue growing. Jen contacted me earlier this year to ask if I knew anyone who could come ride him and put some miles on him. I couldn't do it for obvious reasons. My go-to recommendation is always Tor, and that's exactly what I told Jen; so Jen hired Tor and she's been coming out a few times a week to put some training on him.

As I may or may not have mentioned, Romeo is for sale. Jen's not in a hurry to move him on, but he's listed and ready to go to the right home. Jen asked me to come out and get some photos and video of him,which I readily agreed to do.

Of course, Jen also moved him to a  new farm two days before I was scheduled to come out. *sigh*

It was good to see Romeo again. He is starting to fill out and look less like a gangly thoroughbred and more like a draft cross.

Tor has done a very good job continuing his training and he's just as steady and reliable as ever. You really couldn't ask for a better personality on a horse. He's only three so they're keeping it easy on him. Lots of walking and trotting with a little bit of 'brain exercises' such as ground poles, walking over cross rails, and maneuvering around obstacles thrown into the mix. He's a willing and laid back horse who I think has the potential to do just about anything.

It'll be cool to see who he ends up with and what he winds up doing. In the mean time, have some photos and video of one of the quietest three year olds I've met.
