Re: Update on Buckskin baby-she's not so baby anymore!
I had a mother daughter pair and they were ok being separated, etc. Just make sure you DO it consistently and you'll be fine.
I thought of something you can do before she is ready to ride-- have you tried ground driving? That is when you take long lines and teach the horse how to be driven in front of you. YOu can teach the basics of steerign and stopping and going all while walking behind her. It's very fun once they get the hang of it. Then you can walk her down the road and go exploring if she is brave enough...

She's just gorgeous Stephanie! I love her! I haven't worked with horses since I was a teenager when I used to show for someone, so my experience is very rusty!

Thank you! I've always had a soft spot for buckskins as well! Although, paints have always been my favorite by far-that's what my mare is.

She's halter broke-obviously, I've trained her in basic round pen work, very little started in lunging because I don't want to stress her joints. She picks up her feet, I've saddled and bridled her and worked her in the round pen. She's had some ground work. She walks through creeks and over bridges......I can't think of what else to do while we're waiting for her to grow up and turn two so we can break her to ride!!!
She's 15.1 hands right now. (my little sister in the pictures)
At the county fair mom and daughter (I know the halter is way too big for mom, but we just through it on while we were preparing her for the show then put on her show halter as well)
***Does anyone have experience with keeping a mother and daughter into adulthood? We've heard different opinions on this. Like-we'll always have troubles keeping them together and riding them together.***
Wife is the horse expert but I can tell you she has had mother daughter and mother son pairs with absolutely no problems.

We currently have one quarter horse mustang mix that she rides and an arabian that belongs to me.

Oh awesome! Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that! We've heard a lot more negative opinions about keeping the daughter than positive ones, so I'm really happy to hear that your wife has had them without problems!
