Ginger will lead FORWARD NOW!

Wow!!!!! Look at this !!!! Ginger is walking forward on a lead rope!!!! These are HUGE steps for this appy mare! She is a horse saved from slaughter, by the equine angel, Shirley Puga. Safe Haven Horse Rescue has helped Shirley out w/ nine horses ( I'm pretty sure) (if I'm wrong it's only because there's more) Tracey has worked really hard to get her use to people touching her, putting on a halter, & now moving forward on a lead rope!!! WhoooooooHooooooo!!!
Tracey is walking Ginger to the arena, so she can run........& have some fun outside of her pen! She had a great time in the arena .......& had a good ole roll.....that always make them happy! Ginger went forward back to her....... pen .....But,,,,,,, alas....she would not walk in FORWARD, into her pen! This pic shows she has her brakes on!!!

Very patiently, Tracey turned her around, & lined up, to back into her pen! Ginger is very pregnant :/ We don't have a 'due date', so we are watching the progression of her milk bag! We want to have her as used to people as possible before she has that baby!

Tracey really had to do some pretty fancy backing up maneuvers to get her lined up w/ her pen!!!! Didn't want her to bump into the pen! That would have been an :O moment!!!

Finally, Ginger is safe & sound in her pen! WHEW!.............. Sense she was such a good girl she got quite a few 'cookies' from the little bucket next to her pen!!!!

Will keep you posted on the progress of our Ginger!
Bye for now,
