Spring 2008
|
I
hesitate to claim that spring might finally have arrived but since
downpours interspaced with
sunshine are starting to be more common, there is hope.
Regardless spring has brought us a ton of new and exciting
events here at Lauman Training.
The Lone Pine Rangers
held their annual Cabin Fever Shoot in which Rick and Kitty took
both Overall titles (Kitty
being the Overall Shoot Winner).
We are starting to get quite a few horses into training for
mounted action shooting and Rick is sure enjoying the perfect excuse
to do more shooting.

and Concho (lamb) |
Kitty was featured in
a splendid article that came out in the June Edition of the Western
Shooting Horse magazine. (www.WSHmag.com) The
articles talks about Kitty’s work with mustangs and the horses she
uses for shooting, it includes several beautiful photos of the Kitty
and the mustangs we use for shooting.
Memorial Day Weekend
brought our first campout of the year.
We headed into the Ochocos for four days and really enjoyed
all the rain and mud that this year brought. It
is always fun to take the horses in training into some new country
to see how they handle and the change of pace is relaxing.
We have had a few new
people come and stay for a few months to help and learn more about
training horses and it seems like there will be a continuous stream
of young kids wanting to help out here this summer.
Tanner and Josie are
starting to really enjoy the outdoors with their parents.
We adopted an orphaned Lamb
named Concho (who looks so much like a goat that we've given up calling
him a
lamb). The kids are enjoying bottle feeding him and the rest
of us enjoy the comic relief he provides. Tanner
especially enjoys spending time on horseback and even has his own
mount that he regularly rides around the ranch. Tanners new
mount is a pony that we recently acquired for him, Buckshot is a
wonderful little pony that has a heart of gold. Josie is getting to be quite the talker and loves to ride,
she gets quite upset when dismounting.
Well the world is
crazy and we’ve got just the place to be in the mist of it all.
We’ll keep you updated as we move into summer.
Have
a Great One!
