There are more Bois d'Arc trees here than anywhere I've seen before. Also called Osage Orange. Their fruit is the "Horse Apple" that horses absolutely love.

We couldn't help ourselves. Our place is called Bois d'Arc Springs Ranch

Almost all our horses get to go to this clinic at least once in their lives.
Poco Picante is about 18 Months old here. | While they don't show here, there were 15 horses in this clinic, all working on the various obstacles at the same time.
These are the mild obstacles. | I got Poco when he was a year old and he had very little handling before that.
Here is the first lesson I had with him at home. Basically a "sending" lesson. Go the direction I say and stop when I say. Here he says "OK, I get it now". |
