Two Penny is a 3 year old pinto mare off the Penticton Reserve. She had never had any human contact ... lived out there wild and free for the first 3 years of her life. When her owner (Two Buck) caught her she had a 6 month old baby at her side. She was quite the handful. Two Buck raises bucking horses and Two Penny just didn't have the build or the "eye" to be a bucking horse.
We kept her baby for the first couple of weeks, but got him weaned off her and then he was sold to a good home.
When I brought her home she was very skittish and didn't want to be touched. I finally got her haltered, let her settle in for a day, and then began training her.
Within a week I had her accepting the saddle pad, saddle and bosal. I train all my horses using a bosal.
After having Two Penny in training for 25 days, I loaded her in the horse trailer and took her out chasing cows! She has been sold now and I hope her new owners are enjoying working with her. As with any green broke horse, all she needs now is time and miles!
