Classical Training VS Modern Riding
Having just finished an important book regarding the misuse of modern training method called Rollkur, I thought it important enough to pass along info as I become aware of.

Chocolate Horse Farm Gypsy Vanner Horses: New Arrival
Chocolate Horse Farm Gypsy Vanner Horses: New Arrival: Just a quick note to announce the birth of a Sparky and Lora foal......and it is a boy! Enjoy the Roxie Show! http://www.photoshow.com/wa...
This colt has been named CHF Otis after a lovely old gent who taught me to drive the tractor. Some name their Gypsy Vanners lovely Celtic names that need a little help in pronouncement, and we have some with versions of the Celtic, but most are named with regard, for people we have walked with a while enjoying the journey . Lora is so named for Laura Talbot, one of the twin daughters of Julian and Helena Talbot. We also have Lucy, so named for her twin. Producer's Heiress is one of the exceptions, and yet, Heiress refers to a daughter's love of horses and is hers should we not be able to care for her one day. I keep a notebook of names and their significance for each new arrival's benefit.
Otis was born March 18th on a cold and very wet day. He was up with a little help in order to get Mom and Babe inside where the straw was dry and the wind at the door. He is now three months old and quite the young man....very friendly and incredibly curious....all normal for us. He will wear a halter but sometimes it just to play with, loves scratches, is fairly relaxed picking up his feet unless he is in full play mode. Felecia taught us to play horsey style with the foals and it is fun if exhausting. So obviously they think every time you show up it is play time. However, he know understands there are quiet times with the humans too. i.e. scratching.......
Otis is for sale at weaning and will be sold as a gelding. Though he is a lovely proper colt, there are an abundance of exceptional stallions among the Gypsy Vanner, Cob, Horse ( what ever your preferance) world here in the states. We do not breed every one of our mares every year, shocking to some, but given the market and the reality of too many horses being uncared for, it only makes sense to be selective. Otis is the only foal on the farm this year, as has been the case for the past several years. The previous foals are in great homes and doing well.....we like to keep track and find friendship an element of the sale that is special to say the least. We hope someone will find Otis as engaging as we do and give him a good home, treating him with kindness for all of his days. AND lots of scratches!!!!
