Neche and Bev
Neche is Bev’s horse. She is going to be the one working with her and teaching a few things that Neche has either never been taught or has forgotten. Neche is a little shy, not exactly skittish though. She is well broke as far as manners and behavior. It’s going to take a few days to get used to her new owners and surroundings. She is still a little stand offish with us.
Now Dusty is another matter. He is in your back pocket all the time. He follows us around like a BIG puppy. The only problem is that his manners are not quite as good as Neche’s. To give you an idea of the difference, if Dusty was out in a very large pasture he would come right over and meet you. Neche would probably go to the other side of pasture and make you come and get her.
Eventually Neche will do the same we hope, it’s only been 1 day. The series of pictures below is the getting acquainted ceremony.
And that folks, is how it is supposed to be done. Almost anyway. In the ideal situation the horse will come up to you. Neche didn’t, but she also didn’t run like she did before we got her home.
We want to do a little ground work with her before we attempt to ride her. The previous owner rode her Friday and Saturday prior to delivering her and she did fine. We just want her to be comfortable and have some ground work basics before we ride.
