Dally & Spanky - Night of the Horse 2018 - Del Mar National Horse Show

http://www.delmarnational.com/ Dally and Spanky Their bond was special from the start A few years ago, we rescued Spanky - a then two-year-old miniature horse. He was overweight and close to founder. Aggressive to people and other horses, he was obviously the boss. The next few weeks he wreaked havoc on everyone he met, biting, kicking and even drawing blood on a few. For the next year we taught him some skills using our groundwork program and he slowly learned to be respectful to people and other horses. Within a year, he was a changed horse - although his (naughty) personality stayed intact. We needed to give him a purpose, so Francesca started teaching him some tricks and liberty such as the bow, lie down, roll over, Spanish walk, along with liberty - using Steve’s DVD’s on Trick Training and Liberty. Then we found a Jack Russell - Dally, who was the runt of the litter. She was only 6 months old but would sit and watch Francesca work with Spanky. One day, she hopped up onto Spanky’s back from a step stool...and that day they became inseparable. The “Tiny Trio” (we since rescued another mini, Jet) have performed at Equine Expos and events in the US and Canada and appear for autograph signing. If you would like to have Dally and Spanky (and even Jet) at your event or would like more information please email: francesca@horseteacher.com or click on the “contact us” link at the top of this page.
