The copulating pictures??

I love my horses but not quite that much, Fizz!

Unfortunately Mom and Dad are out of town and I had no help available so I wore a helmet, carried my cell phone, did it in the lowest-key manner possible and have no pictures to show for it.

I took some quick video on the cell to commemorate the moment but it's so bumpy I think you'll get motion sick watching it. Soon though! We're headed out to the beach next Wednesday for a five-day "photo shoot" so I hope to come back with plenty of pictures and lots more practice under his belt. That's why I couldn't wait any longer to start him, help or no help!

Edited to add: Poor Kody. He was fine sharing right up until I hitched Turbo to HIS cart- then he had a fit! Turbo was not allowed near me for the rest of the night and was graced with many punitive bites and kicks upon returning to the paddock. It was clear he'd crossed a line in Kody's mind! Gonna have to work the redhead tonight instead of the kid or I'll never hear the end of it.

Yay, Turbo!

Actually...YAY, LEIA!!!! *I imagine Turbo was totally cool and thought it was just another click...)

Jane, I nearly wet my pants reading your comment, although I guess copulating is akin to hitching...

Yeah!! Can't wait to see pictures

 

[MiLo Minis]

Yeah Leia and Turbo and Kody! Can't wait to see photos of the new pair - especially once they are in competition!!!

Thanks Lori! I don't know that we'll ever make real competition as I don't have the cash for the required 4-wheeler and I'm pretty sure Kody isn't up to it physically, but I'll darn sure be posting pictures of all the recreational stuff we do!

I'm so thrilled to be back in the driver's seat it isn't even funny and I'm just praying everyone stays sound.

Sorry I missed this Leia! MANY CONGRATULATIONS!

I can just imagine how you felt as you stepped up into the seat and together you took those first steps forward -- what a feeling!

Well done Turbo!

(and one for Kody, just so he doesn't feel left out.

)

Oh how wonderful so delighted that it all went well. Had to laugh at Kodys reaction though poor boy

I have been without internet since June due to many travels, but have been attempting to follow his progress via your FB posts on my phone, however it is far to difficult to respond to anything with it. Now that I am back on a real computer...

:yeah CONGRATULATIONS LEIA & TURBO!!!!!!!!!!

:yeah

I love the first drive, especially when it is anti climatic and the horse is so prepared it just goes with it like it has done it for months.

Well done to both of you.
