Black, Filly, 'Star', Born May 7, 2009 around 1:00am. We did not get home
until 9:00 pm and the horses were not up. I decided to come
back around 1:00am just like I have been doing for 15 days
waiting for this foal to be born. I found Shadow and the foal
doing GREAT in the pasture. I led mom and baby to the stall
and took pictures. Carletta did basic imprinting for 1/2 hour
and I continued her training the next day. She learned to
lead, tie, and load into the trailer within 30 minutes. Her
first trip to
the vet went well and she led to the
exam stock and stood tied by her mom like she had been doing
this all her life . . . I guess she has. We will give more
updates as they are available. |
More pictures are below the pedigree.

We are calling her 'Star' and her registered name reflects Hesq
Amigos Spin City and Shadow Triple Star.
This is about 1 week old
with Shadow, her mom.
Shadow and Star walking and grazing about 1 week old.
June 30, 2009: Jade Bierschwale, our
4.5 yr old granddaughter, is sitting on Star. We were really
surprised when Star did not even flinch. Jade was excited because
she was the only one small enough to 'ride' Star.
It took a little bit of coaxing to
get Star going, but she picked it up fast.
Jade Bierschwale working Star
in the round pen. She could not wait to help 'train' Star every
afternoon.
Star is a little feisty here but Jade
is determined to persevere. Jade would say "whoa" and snap the
line and Star stopped. Jade then dropped the line and told her to
"stand" and patted Star all over from one side around Star's tail to
the other side. Then she picked up the line and we lunged Star the
other direction.
Star just follows Jade everywhere,
even into the trailer.
My little helper leading Star in
after all this hard work in the round pen and trailer.
Jade is leading Star to the grooming
rack so she can tie her up for grooming after all this work.
How many 4.5 yr olds do you know who can tie a clove hitch
with a slip knot?
July 7, 2009: After one week of
training, Jade has graduated to haltering Star and leading her all
by herself. Star just lets Jade walk up to her in the stall without
fear, and lets her put on the halter.
October 2009: The kids came for a week and Brock is now
"riding" Star.
I think
Star loves Jade!
Star is
already wanting to be photographed. She stood exactly where
she was supposed to with Carmen and Brock, Dillon & Tammie (our
great nephew and niece), and Jade.
Carmen is trying to get Star to
smile.
Nov 24, 2009, Thanksgiving week: Jade has been working for
3 days to be able to ride Star. She is doing real well with
her leg cues and reins.
Little brother Brock is having fun riding the tractor behind Jade
practicing backing up with Star.
Jade is learning how to squeeze and touch with her right heel
while giving rein cues for a left turn.
Star follows her into the
trailer. Jade says "load" and . . . .
. . . Star jumps into the
trailer, much to Jade's surprise!" She was a little off
balance here.
Getting out
of the trailer is a 'piece of cake'. Jade snaps the line and
says "back". When the first foot steps out she says, "step",
to warn of the impending dropoff.
After all this work Jade and
Brock give Star's mother, Shadow, a reward since her baby is in the
weaning process and Shadow has to stay out of the barnyard.
