Hello, Pepe

So far, Pepe is doing well.





Isn't he just adorable? Even when he's rejecting me?

New face at the barn

Before I introduce our new face at the barn, I think it's good idea to go read this very cool old post by mugwump chronicle on a Bonanza style training/riding tip.

Check it out, I'll wait here.

*humming the theme from Bonanza*

....


Do you think you could do it?

Wouldn't it be empowering to try?

Arroyo, anyone?


....................



OK, enough of that. Come on over and meet Pepe.

Nice butt, Pepe.
Can you turn around for the nice people at the blog?


He's a little shy. Or miffed. It took hours for them to round him up at his old place. It was, in the words of one participant, a cluster .... well, you know.



Pepe meets the boys, Cibolo and his BFF Amigo.


He's Nancy's burro - she also owns Shiloh (the one going to the dentist tomorrow) and Armador, Lily's boy friend. She had him staying at a friend's house, but the friend couldn't keep him anymore.

Nancy had him halter trained
at one time, but he's "reverted" she said.
He said "I was doing just fine until
you people came along."



He seems quite sweet and very burro, especially during the worming process. But I have a feeling he'll do well after he's had more handling.


Pepe, checking out the other equines in the area.




Pepe, multi-tasking.




BTW, thanks for all the great comments on the last post!

Now "git" out there and ride! Or pet a horse! Or read 5 more blogs! LOL
