Wolfie is going to begin his halter training in Ernest, now that the days are getting longer.

What I'm going to start with is putting it on at dinner time and taking it off before I let him out of the stall. That way he just gets used to me putting it on and taking it off.

He's mostly ok with it, but I haven't had enough light to work with him on it since he's been big enough.

In Region 4, Natty earned the coveted Rookie Horse of the Year award! Natty also earned the RMHA High Point Rocky breed award nationally.

Rookie Horse of the Year (founded in 2015) – The award is funded/sponsored by Marilyn Bivens, Kate Love, & Kimberly Murphy (R4 Members).

The “Rookie Horse of the Year” award is intended to recognize the achievements of those horses that begin their NATRC career in either the Competitive Pleasure or Open Divisions and do not ever compete in the Novice Division.

Requirements:

Eligible horse must begin their competition career in either the CP or Open division having never competed in NATRC Novice division.

A horse is only eligible for the award in its first year of competition.

Winning horse would be the horse with the highest number of accumulated points earned in either the CP or Open Division or a combination of rides in the CP and Open Division during the current competition year.

No horse having previously competed in a Novice class at any NATRC sanctioned ride will be eligible.

A horse may compete in CP and/or Open in its first competition year. All points earned by the horse in either of those two divisions will be counted towards the Rookie Horse of the Year award.

Thanks again to Ivy Starnes and Doanna Daniel for helping me make Natty's NATRC debut season a successful one!
