[AtinaLuro]

This horse is very beautiful!!!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

Thank you very much! :)

[horsegalO1]

is he stallion or gelding????? if stallion he would make beautiful babies. he is beautiful, love his prints

[xxxligeiaxxx]

Thanks! He was a stallion, but had to be gelded last year due to a medical condition. :( I would have loved to breed him!

[desilvano]

Ozzy's gonna be a superstar

[xxxligeiaxxx]

:) Thanks so much! I hope someday that will come true on a large scale! Right now he's my little superstar; and I tell him so every day! ;)

[faetastic]

I have to say, I started watching your videos through Dragonfly1030. I remember watching some of her videos before I really know Ozzy. I think Duncan is absolutely gorgeous but when I first got a glimpse of Ozzy...I was speechless. Stunning! I'm glad both you and Dragonfly are making so much progress with your equine counterparts!

-Side note. I've never heard of an Irish Sport Horse. I looked in my book-o-horses and they're not in there! I'm intrigued!

Regards

Fae

Well Fae, welcome to the crazy train! Ozzy and I have been through everything from basic haltering and leading (and being caught in general) to what you see here. Thanks for your kind words--I hope you'll continue to watch! :)

As for the ISH's--check them out online. I think you'll be very impressed with what you find. An ISH is a cross between an Irish Draught and a TB. They're super athletic with very quiet minds. Thanks again for watching! :)

[faetastic]

Interesting! I had thought as much. :) I will be sure to check them out, and no worries. I'm addicted to Duncan and Ozzy. You two are very lucky as well as inspiring to watch.

[xxxligeiaxxx]

Wow! Thank you! I know how you feel--I'm completely addicted to these two too--haha! They and Clue are pretty much all Dragonfly1030 and I talk about. ;)

[coshmrk]

You guys are doing great! He is going to great in hunter classes, I can see that he reaches for the cavaletti instead of hesitating...(you really want that) that's something that is just clicking with Rocky, so it's great that Ozzy picked up on it now. Anyway awesome job!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

Thanks! Yeah, I've been really happy that Ozzy's been rounding to the cavaletti--that's why I got my ass up in two-point: to get off of his back. I hope my boy turns out as great as yours--it's awesome to see how far the two of YOU have come! :)

[ffaqueen08]

Ozzman's still doing good! I never really acknowledged it before, but you are the only person I've ever seen progress videos with that actually state what their goals were and got to them. So great job with that.

[xxxligeiaxxx]

Aww thanks! I guess that's the teacher in me: always have to have a goal! I try to keep them simple and build on them so that he CAN achieve whatever we set out to do. I'd rather set him up for success. :)

[ffaqueen08]

Exactly! So many people jump the gun and take the bigger steps maybe their horse just isn't ready for. I like that you do that. Like I said, I didn't really notice it with everything else I have subscribed, but I always read your video description and unconsiously think "wow, she's got her goals straight." So again, yes good job!

[HondaThoru]

Looking good with the matching sweather and saddle cloth. Said it before but he does look nice in white bandages. Hes starting to realy pick up his front legs in trot still needs a bit more work at the back. Seems like he did well with the music though and the poles as well wich is great. Was that mell in the puffy blue she looks so cute like that.

[USNBRAT91]

I love this color on him! I don't think i've seen you guys use it before... Heheh he did well going past the CD player though :D I've keep trying to remember to bring my CD player out when I ride but I always forget! He looked pretty nice over those cavallettis - it would be fun to see him try hunters! And of course - he just looked great all around :d

btw - random... but how did you manage those shots from above???

[xxxligeiaxxx]

Thanks! The end shots were taken from the observation room. :)

[USNBRAT91]

ohhhh I never even realized there was an observation room in there! that's awesome :D

[dragonfly1030]

Hehe, this came out so cute! :) He looks so gigantic on video, it's so weird...he didn't seem so big when I was there. He's so smart it's ridiculous! :)

[xxxligeiaxxx]

:) Thank you so much! :)  He never really seems big--until he does something stupid like the other night. *ugh*

[butterfly1341]

Haha! :) Again, great job!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

Haha! Thanks again! :)
