Progress report: Stardust now has all of her gaits! Great advances since she arrived in April 2017, not very happy about interacting with humans (below). Sandy is the one trying to get in the way of the camera. The little black bonnets are fly protection and prevention against Vesicular Stomatitis, which has been bad in Larimer County this summer. My daughter Kalinda, who graduated from 4-H with her Level 4 Hunt Seat and Western ratings, has done the risky riding developing the faster gaits on Stardust. I work Stardust at the walk-trot on lateral flexion, transitions and bit acceptance. We still have work to do. Sandy serves as PRS’s chief mental health professional, trail hero, and head coach to Stardust. The girls are both handy for checking irrigation points and carrying flower farm supplies.
