Koda horse training over bridges, and in river water.

On Mother's Day we walked on the Biz Johnson Trail and our yearling horse colt went swimming in the Susan River. Koda horse introduced to trail, crossing bridges, roads, rivers, and going in water.
FYI, the Biz Johnson Trail is located in Lassen County California, and runs from Susanville to Westwood.

he is a handsome horse !!!

[urc55]

Thank you!

I don't know for certain, but there's a possibility that Nasdaq might be in foal to him. If she is, I hope the foal gets it's personality from Nasdaq!

hes a beauty!..he reminds me of my colt Lucky :) lol Lucky has learned to love going into creeks on trail with me leading him..he loves pawing at the water and splashing me with it :P.. how is nasdaq doing? do you still have her?

[urc55]

Your colt Lucky sure does sound a lot like Koda. :D

Yep, I've still got Nasdaq, thanks for asking. =) I can't believe how much she's grown! She's still as funny as ever. I caught a bit of video of her pestering another horse & acting like a goofball a couple days ago. I'm going to upload it as soon as I get a chance.

And I wish my horse loaded that easily! My horse has some serious issues with loading especially if she has to step up. I think if there was a ramp she would go right in but if not she would rather flip herself over! Not joking she actually did that!

[urc55]

Have you ever tried loading her with a ramp? I made the mistake of thinking a ramp would make loading easier, so I went and bought a trailer w/ramp only to discover that NONE of my horses wanted to load in it! So I traded it for the step up one in the video. Funny thing about Koda - He loads great but it takes hours to get him to un-load! :D

[animalsalways102]

haha yeah :) well i look forward to watching the video of Nasdaq once its uploaded

[urc55]

Yes, he really bit him in the @ss! (Does that mean he's literally "a pain in the butt?" lol!) He is very "mouthy" and will take a chunk out of you if you take your attention off him for even a second. Grumble...

[SmallvilleFanatic600]

He is such a good boy. He will make a great stud! But did he really just nip your husbands butt?? lol

[urc55]

Yea, I agree horse hikes are great. We don't have a dog to walk, so we take our horses out for a walk instead. lol.

Thanks for watching and commenting! =)
