Devil (cute name 'Sugar Cube') has had a bit of time finding his forever home.
July 24, 2010
For the life of me, I can't figure out why he has such a sweet temperment. He has been in a couple of different homes and foster placements now and the guy just loves to be near people.
In this picture you're seeing my daughter-in-law snuggling up to him. Pretty good seeing that she had never been around a horse before. Devil just makes a person feel comfortable being around him.
Devil and I have this routine around the neighbourhood. While giving him the exposure to a number of different things in preparation for becoming a great trail riding horse, we've become quite a pair. All the neighbours come out to see him . He sucks up the attention like a 5 year old at a grandparent's house. :P

Today we took Devil for his last walk up our dirt lane before he went to his new home. It was quite an emotional day for me. I miss the boy dearly since he put me back into the routine of training again. I will miss the lunging and the walks and I am sure the neighbours will miss his visits as well.
He did very well while he was here. He learned to lunge, he worked on his timidness around strange things like low hanging limbs on trees, small spaces, lawn mowers, whipper snippers, and even farm equipment. It was important to me that he got out and around things that he may meet while on trails and country roads. After he was exposed to something, it was not easy to rattle him with the same thing again. The lawnmower proved that one. He would follow me around once he was allowed to smell and touch it. LOL
