Going over tarp pics (need ideas)

DoBeSassy · 10-11-2007, 08:36 PM

check out these pics.

We had so much fun this evening that I had to share with y'all:

check this out, she is actually walking!

I was nervous at first

So what do y'all think?

Great job - isn't it fun to mess with their minds and have them stay so quiet..

championhorse · 10-11-2007, 08:38 PM

looks like a lot of fun, way to go on attempting to bomb proof your horses.

Both are beautiful too.

Thunderz Gurlz · 10-11-2007, 08:51 PM

Wow.

Ceasar will walk over one but I bet he would flip if I tried to drag it!

DoBeSassy · 10-11-2007, 08:58 PM

Thanks guys, I'm proud; but I really didn't do anything besides flip it up on her. She was the one that handled it like a pro. It kinda got me thinking about if I could ride her in my wedding? Chris is going to flip when I ask him

HorseMomToSage · 10-11-2007, 09:04 PM

Good for you! My Sage will walk over one but I think he'd flip if I tried to put it over him. I think it would be great to have them in the wedding.

TxHorseMom · 10-11-2007, 09:30 PM

Wow! Good Job! I can't believe you trained that crazy, horse eating tarp!!!!

Seriously, its a good feeling when you can get a horse to trust you enough to do things like that.

Awesome job.....looks like a challenge

TanyaV28 · 10-11-2007, 10:03 PM

isnt it devine that had the beautiful dress of hers draped over a draft? I love that picture....I bet your girl would look just as good

DoBeSassy · 10-12-2007, 07:17 AM

Thanks so much guys, and if Devine sees this- feel free to post you pick of you in your dress. I would love to see it.

That is so neat, what a good horse you have!

prancingpony · 10-12-2007, 07:48 AM

Great and Fabulous!!! Come do my horses!!!

Luvpaints · 10-12-2007, 09:09 AM

I am an obstacle phanatic ......... now take your tarp and make a tunnel land walk thru it. Take your tarp and canter around with it holding it in the air. Just 2 obstacles we do at ob. challenges. You other pics are great !!! You horse looks pretty laid back !

DoBeSassy · 10-12-2007, 09:29 AM

A tunnel?

that would take some construction.

My next step is to see if I can trot with it. Then I will start holding it up. Then walking/troting holding it up.

We are still working on our cantering so I don't think I will be doint it with a tarp anytime soon.

I would like some other ideas. I can't really think of other obstacles right now. So feel free to share

**Orchid** · 10-12-2007, 10:11 AM

What do I think?

I think she will be a natural for costume classes! Well done!

roberts617 · 10-12-2007, 10:57 AM

We have used a round bale feeder. Flip it up on it's side and secure it so it won't move around. You can put the tarp on that too. I saw it on RFD-tv. We tried it and had fun with it. Not too sure if the horses did or not.

**divinemisselle** · 10-12-2007, 01:23 PM

You mean these?

The mare is a Clyde, the train on the dress was about 10 or 12 feet long! And yes, it weighed a TON!!!

If you need any help with this, let me know!

HeatherSarah3 · 10-12-2007, 01:30 PM

Im so jelouse!

That is absolutly beautiful Divine!!!!!

DoBeSassy · 10-12-2007, 06:17 PM

My train isn't that long, I would say a little over 3 feet. I would love to know what you did. Like how do you get out of the saddle gracefully? What kind of saddle did you use regular or side saddle? Could I be led (just in case she gets a little nervous. If I could be led, who is supposed to do it, my dad, a bridesmaid, etc?
