With the stable and corral finished, it’s time to move the little “foster horses” north from Enterprise to Beryl.
Dusty and Kid are just yearlings who either will never see the race track, or who need a temporary home until time to go to the trainer.
In Dusty’s case, he’ll never see the track as he has a slightly crooked cannon bone on his right front leg. He still needs love, and training, and he can become a very good pleasure riding horse, just not a race horse.
Kid is “track material”, but not ready to go to the trainer for a while. Cindy and Bev will nurture him and Dusty will provide other “horse company”.
What are the goals? Since Dusty will be here “long-term”, Cindy will work with him, and eventually saddle and ride him. She’s never done this, so the two of them will be learning together.
Kid is “just visiting”, so he’ll be loved and nurtured, but not trained. That is a job for the professional trainer.
As you can see, Dusty really admires his new keepers. Both Cindy and Bev are taking an active role in socializing him.
He’s got his issues. Some days, he’s a brat. Some days, he’s pushy. Some days, well… he’s just a total love… not the least bit well-behaved, but a total love.
