More about Bambú XXReprint from my weblog Aug 2006Our new youngster-in-work is Bambú. On Tuesday we went to bring him in from the country. He has run out with the herd since birth, and came into a smaller paddock a few weeks ago. No stabling, no handling, other than having a rope halter on. We arrived, he came up to us, to see what we were about. We put a halter and lead on him, he followed, and after one side step, he went up into the trailer. At the training yard he came off the trailer like an old hand, was led into the barn, entered his box and looked around. Wednesday he was lunged. He went out, around the circle, moving freely forward. When the trainer stopped and called him, he came in to the centre. Thursday he had a saddle on - and his first shower. Friday a lightweight rider was on the saddle while he was in the box. Saturday we spent about half an hour picking his feet up - all four, no kicking. He's in a large barn, with a wide passage, and all the horses around - another 20 or so - are stallions. They are all tied up in the passage during tacking up/untacking. Monday he was out there, standing with the rest. loosely tied to his box railings, and left while life went on around him. Tuesday the rider was on and off him in the passageway, mounting and dismounting from both sides. Wednesday he was shod all round with no fuss, no restraint, no artificial assistance. Thursday the rider was on his back while he was on the lunge, and yesterday - Friday, just 10 days after arriving - the rider was riding him loose in the arena. I love this kid!!
