Oct 1, 2010Hi guys. Did a pack trip into The Payseten over Labor Day week-end. Rode in 17 miles as always Tug was great & a gentleman. Woke up to snow Sun. we packed up, we were coming out anyway. Always doing new things with our horses the more the better, I think. Big news TUG is now a pack-horse also. He was questioning us a little, but trusts me. Might of been the 30 degree morning & the snow. Bout 5 miles til the trailers he was just following us, not being lead. We had stopped & then started. Tug hadn't moved yet so the guy behind decided to smack him. Away he went lost all the pack, then he just stopped right beside me. The look in his eyes was what I wanted to say to the guy. Got him packed back up. Soooo many great adventures. Will never be able to Thank you two enough, never.
BONNIE & TUG
March 29, 2010There absolutely are no words to express my THANKS for the gift of you're horsemanship skills . The both of you. Tug is great believe it or not I walk out in the field & we meet. Lots of bonding things. Been Dr. cattle doesn't mind the gun or waiting til we're done. Has great respect for the hobbles. Truly the last 3 horses took a couple of summers to feel comfortable. Been trail riding at Ancient Lakes he is a respectful horse & rides anywhere in the riders group. Have a few rides planned a few days at Ancient Lakes in April. Girls trip for a week in July, Pack trip to the Paseyten first of Aug. I am riding him with a bosal, actually just riding him with my legs WOW. Lots of pitchures on my space or face book with Sandi Berg. I'm like a girl who has just gotten her first horse can't ride enough. I think Susan was right when she said Tug might be a females horse.
GOD Bless Bonnie
October 29, 2009Thought you might like an update. Spent Sat. just around here, to many guns going off to go out where I normally ride. Sun. after Church we had to get some cattle worked Tug spent the afternoon with me. I saddled him put the saddle bags on him of course he was great. Wasn't real thrilled with the branding smell but neither am I. Needless to say he has been spending time just watching cattle they are everywhere. Finally yesterday we got out to the Pot-Holes enjoyed ourselves for a couple of hours. I think we both needed it, especially me. Rode him with a bosal, easier on his ear thing. I'm fine with that. We are already on the rode to a great partnership.
Thanks again Tug & Bonnie
August 6, 2010Hi guys hope this finds you both doing super. Another update on my partner TUG. Still doing lots of riding mainly for pleasure, cattle are off spring grass. Gatherings went super, couldn't go wrong with Tug doing a wanderful job. He truly does enjoy being a horse & working with me. We have a routine saddle-up, open trailer he jumps in away we go. Just spent my week in the mtns., Salmen LaSac this year. Four of girls spent all week other came & went. One day 7 of us got to ride. We rode a total of 80 miles in 5 days soooooooo beyond heaven... I'm still amazed & grateful for all that TUG & I have done with truly no arguing. He decided a couple of times he wanted to turn around on the trail, not good with a cliff on one side. First time shame on him, next time shame on me for not catching it before it happened. A quick you know what & all is well. We are packing into the Payseten 1st. week in Sept, excited about that. A quick question, where did the circle on his hip come from? He's been accused of being a trader horse, brands. With a very quick come back from me. He is such a kind horse very well mannered around all outside horses.
Thanks with a big let's ride. Bonnie
