It only seems like yesterday when these two young girls were born (they are 2 nights that we wont forget: Libby because of the ease that she had Isabell and the fact that Isabell tried to kick Evan when she was only an hour or so old (!) and Sweetie because of the difficulty that she had with her big filly foal, Lucy. If it hadnt been for Monika and her swiftness with pain relief for Sweetie, we're not sure where we would be today).
They have both been a joy to rear and now that they are nearly "young ladies" (yearlings, lol), its time for their learning to take different paths.
We have decided (drum roll if you please....), that Lucy is for sale (Lucy is by Pure Theatre and is the more commercial of the two) and that Isy will stay with us as she is a true colonial girl.
So, Lucy's learning path is a little different to Isy's, she is now being taught to lunge and is coming along in leaps and bounds so far. Evan has been doing Lucy's training behind the house and as you will see in the short video (please excuse the quality, its the daggy camera) , gets a "little" upset when Lucy gets out of her sight (but my look at that beautiful canter on Isy).
Both girls have lovely gaits, with Lucy the more fluid movement that just floats above the ground.
The news from Adam after the latest feet trim is that both girls have great feet, which is half the battle.

Me and my dad after "training" - always cuddles after everything we do.
"Lucy, Lucy - WHERE ARE YOU??????"

teaching them to lunge properly from the start would be very beneficial, half running behind them like that doesn't help them they want to follow you so keep turning to see where you're going
