'My' Gang

[Stern]

I braided Fanci's mane today. X- P

We had a special ed class come over for a field trip, so we let them brush Blaze, then gave them a tour of the centre. While they were having lunch, I had nothing to do, so I ended up grooming Fanci. After getting her mane untangled, Carole told me that there were some braiding bands in the tack shed, so of course, I had to go find them. X- D

Didn't turn out so well:


This is why I leave riding to other people. X- P But hey, it's my first time, so be nice.

Is that first braid black and white? Very nicely done Stern. I remember doing this with Cedar on days when he'd remain still for long enough (pretty much let me) braid his mane. Hate braiding, which is why I only entered winter shows (no braiding, or optional braiding policy).

[Stern]

Yes, it is. Her mane is actually two colours, her forelock is completely dark, and then a long section of white, and the last few hairs are black again.

X- P Hahaha. I had Fanci tied anyway to groom her, so she had no choice. X.x

It does take a lot of work. O.o

[Stern]

So, I just thought I'd share, for everyone who was trying to help me figure out Fanci's breed.

She is gaited (At least officially). She's registered as having 75% Peruvian Paso (Don't know what the other quarter is). :- ) So that explains the odd gait.

I -really- need to pay more attention when I'm working her next time. X- P

These are so cute! You're so lucky that you volunteer! (Though this thread was made a while ago, so maybe you don't anymore,)

Sadly I don't volunteer here anymore, as the program was shut down following a lack of instructors, but I do volunteer with other horses! You can find photos of them here!
