We finally found the Blog for the EMM!! Takes us old fogies a long time, I guess.

We have two of the EMM fillies. Penny is a red dun and a right brained extrovert for sure. She is doing so much better now though. She will tie without pulling, let us put the exercise ball on her back and walk over the tarp. She doesn't like to squeeze through anything, so we are working on that. She does have a switch in her head that turns on and says RUN! She is learning not to be so panic stricken with lots of backing and disengaging.

Shasta is the other colt. She is a bay with hardly any white on her. She has been calm, cool, and collected from the first day we picked her up in Elgin, TX. She takes everything in stride. When it came time to load her in the trailer for the first time, she just hopped in like she had been doing it all her life. She also has the most beautiful dark brown eyes.

Jere is a Natural Horsemanship Clinician and we live in Utopia, TX, 90 miles west of San Antonio. We are very much enjoying our colts and looking forward to meeting all you folks who we have been reading about in your blogs!
