Zepher has been settled in for a while now and Honey is settled in too. Zepher is a joy to work with, he could do 40 minutes a day but we keep it to 30 and he's with our chief exerciser, Jessi, now. Jessi adores him and we took him to his first show with 15 maybe 20 days training in Halter and being a breed show he was the only entry but he scored fairly well, 28.09. We had just started him under saddle that month too. We'll give him a few months with Jessi to fit up a bit more before asking him to do more than walk out with me on his back.
Honey on the other hand has almost no training sustainability. She can exhaust herself with 20 minutes of work. She's spent most of her time here in the pasture to recover. I'm thinking about bringing her in to work with her again. If I can't get her to be able to train at least a little I really can't see myself using her to breed to Zepher. I want to improve the amount of time I can work with a horse not make it less.
