| Haven't heard much last few days. We have gotten slammed with rain so I'm sure it'll be a few more days before he can get back out there to mess with him. The last thing he said was that if this horse doesn't want to do something, he won't! |

Lol! If I could afford it, I would. Also, he's old and I'm not sure I'd want to spend the money on that. Trust me, we are all hoping and praying that colt comes around and will be her main mount. The old man won't ever be sold. We rescued him from an awful situation.. 1 good thing I can say about him is he's an amazing trail horse, literally bomb proof on trails, goes thru anything. He just acts like a turd at the barn or trailer when he has to leave the others. Afraid I'm stuck with him till the end... if anything he's a good traveling buddy for the others, if needed. |

| Went to drop off some feed to him today and check in. Wonderful update! He finally had a breakthrough with the colt! He said he's really coming around and he's confident he's going to make a horse. My daughter will be going over in another month to start working with him along side the trainer.. he's really starting to like him and was full of compliments. He's gotten a few people that wanted to know if he was for sale so at least we know if he doesn't work out for my kid he's marketable lol!

| I didn't read all the replies, so sorry if this has been said or discussed already. But why not give the colt back to your daughter to train? Her and the colt have a bond. I seriously doubt the man that gave him to your daughter expected you to dump the colt if a trainer couldn't get by him.
I gave my daughter a colt when she was 12. She did a darn good job breaking and training him. Sure it took longer than if a professional would have done it. But she DID get the job done and taught herself a lot.
The colt was given to her and she wants to keep it. I say bring it home and let her figure it out. I'm not sure that's it's really your place to dump it if this trainer tells you to given how you acquired him and the fact your daughter has never had a problem. JMHO

My daughter doesn't have the confidence or want to, to train him. I also don't have the facilities to train him. We only have pastures no round pen, no arena. She will be working with the trainer soon so she can continue to work on him when he comes home. I know for a fact, this colt is in the right hands right now. He's learning respect and he's learning he's not the boss! I'm excited for their future together |

I had to go pull his papers out. He's a peptospoonful. His registered name is Major spoonful (I've got to send his papers in still and do the transfer) my trainer said he's very athletic and extremely fast! I knew he was fast, watching him run in the pasture. |
