These pictures (below), taken 19 Aug 09, were provided by Tina of Rosvold Farms - in MN. "Bit" looks great, doesn't she? She's 18 yrs old here.

After arriving at LP Painted Ponys, "Bit" entered the riding lesson program. Some pictures are shown below.

In February 2010, she was started in ground-driving in harness in preperation for single and pair driving. We are hoping to hook her as a pair with her full sister, "Bell". "Bit" is not quite as quiet or easy as "Bell", but she's coming along and has now been ground-driven through ditches, over our little bridge on our home property, through the woods connecting us with our neighbors and along the road with traffic. When introduced to a single PVC pole along her side (hooked to the shaft carrier on the surcingle/saddle), she became very upset and nervous. We are taking our time with this step, so that she settles and accepts it as part of her everyday job. It may be summer before we consider hooking her to a tire or a drag for the first time, in the meanwhile, we are continuing to work with her.

"Bit" was confirmed NOT in foal on April 24th, 2010, by our new veterinarian, Dr. Cindy Eaton, DVM.
