| Returning from New Zealand I found 3 calm and willing Horses that where in great Shape. Melly had done a great job winning their trust and getting them used to hobbels, ropes, and ferrier work. As we progress with planing the 5000 km long Trip, it became apparant that given the situation, it would be beneficial if we had a 4th Horse. Talking about this with my Daughter, she decided that she would like to get a horse for her self and we would train and use it for the trip. |
This is why we have now Kiowa Kapuni with us. He is from White Sand Basin and was halter broke when we bought him from a near by sanctuary. We startet working him imediately and found him extremly willing and cooperativ. After only a few days we where able to put a saddle on him and even ride him a few steps. In the coming days we will continue with ground work and have him get use to the different trail situations as the others have too.
Since we all are going to have trail names for the CDT, we have come up with some trail names for ourself and for the horses.
Deets will be Apache, Rodeo will be called Chayenne and Ahi will be Guarini. Kapuni will be Kiowa.
Mark Wallis was with us last weekend and we testet his riding skills (he has not ridden any horse bevor, except a few days on the trip from Greece to Germany in Spring 2017). We trottet and cantered about 20 miles and he did fine with Guarini.
