Ty and Cody





I took some pictures today when we were playing with Cody in the round pen,and taking a short walk. Ty said that he wants his horse to be: calm, obedient, smart, strong, and brave. Judging from what Cody did today, I think Ty got what he wanted! I thought Ty was really cute, he went and put on his medicine bag just before we wwnt to work with Cody!

Cody - Ty's Mustang






We are very excited to finally find a horse especially for Ty. Cody, his new little Mustang, will be 2 in April. A Parelli trainer named Rico has been working with Cody for the past 1 1/2, and Cody is very friendly and has great manners! Rico and his wife Ann, are Native Americans, and they had a little ceremony for Ty. It was a beautiful day and a fun afternoon! In the pictures you can see: Rico singing an original song about Mustangs, and Ann doing a purification ceremony and giving Ty a Medicine Bag. Rico also gave a demonstration of some of the Parelli games he's been using to train Cody. The last picture is of Ty petting his new companion before the trip home.
