Pacifica and Presa Under Saddle

[paintedhorizon]

This is so awesome! Pacifica and Presa are Great Blazes Foals. This is the link to where they were for sale. A gentleman came down and bought them and took them to the Blichmann's for training. I had helped Stella with the ground work, so this is especially rewarding for me!

Here's Pacifica's initial sale post

I love how Pacifica pawed at the tarp. Amazing how awesome Presa is doing! Of course, their lines helped a lot in this!

How funny is that! I saw this video yesterday when I was perusing "Paso Fino" on Youtube.

When I'm bored I look to see what recent PF videos have been posted.

Congrats, they look to be doing great!

Pacifica was the one I couldn't wait to see under saddle. She's so beautiful!

Of course it didn't hurt to have Patti B doing the training :v: She turns out the most wonderful horses and they have such good solid training with her.

Actually, Julie is doing the training in KC. I go up and help her out with trailering and videoing. Pacifica is the stubborn one, if it's not her way she just won't do it,,,,,, for awhile then she will. Julie has been very patient with them especially Pacifica, who had trust issues but is now coming around. Julie trained the gelding that Sally's husband rode in the parade, he was another timid one. But not anymore huh Sally!

Pacifica is a princess. LOL It's more like she has to figure out that you are worthy of her doing something for you. hahaha And she was definitly a mama's girl. Took awhile before she warmed up to me. Looks like she took to Julie though!

[PattiB]

LOL I thought Pressie was the princess, she thinks everyone should give her the attention. Although she has real separation anxiety, she has to be tied up so she won't try to jump out of the stall, when Julie works Pacifica! Both of them can jump fences real easy! Under saddle she does well, pretty willing.

Patti, you and Julie do an excellent job. Every horse should have such a foundation on them.

Very nice video.

That's some really great work. I did this with my Lipi and it took a lot of time and patience - lovely horses too especially Pacifica...love the name too.

OH YES, Julie turns out nice horses too :v: She trained my hubby's horse (then owned by a friend) and he was basically turned out for 3 years before we bought him. I put my rather beginner hubby on him and he has turned out fantastic. Yep, yep, nothing but good things to say about Blichman style training!

:biggrin:Glad to see that Presa is doing so well. Aren't they just so smart?? Ladybug and Lightningbug say Yippee! Keep up the good work, "sis". :grayhorse:

I'm happy to see they're doing so well, too...except for the overattachment. They really didnt know each other before leaving here, as they were never in the same area together. I have 50 acres w/40 horses with 5 big pastures and 10 paddocks, and only one paddock where horses can touch over the fence(but it has electric so they dont!) Actually, both were in different electric tape fence pastures, that were sometimes not even on! Momma's girls, they'll get over it once they start going on trailrides for even more and frequent changes of scenery, and lovin' it! Bet that'll be easier on Presa, she's the bolder, nosier one. Thanks for the video, Patti and Juli!
