Casey A, who has been working and riding Moshi and Poppy, has been helping them free up their feet and find peace. This is exemplified by a recent event featuring the brush cutter:
“SAFE’s facilities team is a hard-working crew, and today’s big project was clearing the retention pond in preparation for Heart of the Horse using an industrial brush cutter. I happened to be riding Poppy in the covered arena and had Moshi tied when they went to work on the side closest to the arena, and both horses remained cool as cucumbers. Would you believe me when I say that, just a year ago, this would have been a different story? The horsemanship we practice works. Am I saying that Moshi and Poppy are “bomb-proof” under any circumstances and ready for a novice rider? No-they’re still green and require a confident handler and lots of support, but they are certainly trusting humans more and more to bring them peace and keep them out of trouble. As a good friend says, “the proof in the pudding is in the eating,” and today’s pudding was pretty sweet.”
