Subject: **For Sale** My Sale Horses Get Workouts

As a special thing, I decide to a show of my sale horses to sell them faster.

Harmony-- The first horse I bring out is a pretty little Egyptian Arabian mare. She's a young (4 years) bay. I lead her in with a plain rope halter, she responds well even to the thin rope. We halt in the middle of the arena, and I take the halter off of her then lay it over the fence. Her eyes are pricked forward, and her eyes are focused on me. I stand on her left side. I start to walk giving the verbal command "walk" and clicking to her. She walks right side me, I take a step towards her, semi facing her, we do a circle to the right in this fashion, then I step back a bit, and she does a circle to the left. She's just completed a figure eight off lead. (And yes, this can be done, my own equine does it for me, among ther things) We halt center ring and I take a step to the left, and w walk to the left short side. We turn, and trot down the middle of the arena. Then I climb up on her, and we do some basic ground work: walk, trot, extended trot, and a nice canter in both directions.

Delight's Come On-- The next horse I lead out is a good-looking, young spotted (black and white) TWH stallion. He's three yars old and tacked in hacking equipment. I mount up and take him over to the rail. We start with a plain walk. Then take it up to a perfect over-reach TWH trot. We follow this with a western jog, an extended trot, and a collected trot. After another five minutes of gates, we do a few jumps (3 feet and under), and some spins. He responds well.
