Kandie’s photo album
Thanks to Sally and Geoffrey Longenecker at Saralin for these photos!
Under the direction of Merriewold’s trainer Jackie Brittain, our new foals are groomed and handled on a daily basis.  During this time the foals become accustomed to and accept the people around them and learn to trust and respect humans.  They are brushed, have their legs and feet handled, learn to wear a halter and walk on a lead.
 In this photo Merriewold Kirin and Merriewold Kona are learning to walk on a lead rope next to their handlers Ubaldo and Abbie.
  
  
Â
Here Kirin meets the farrier, Mike LaGrone for the first time. And Kona gets her first trim. These first encounters are as much training as actual trimming. They begin a life long association with the person responsible for the health of their feet.Â
 
                         
   
 It was a lovely day and the turn out was even better than we had hoped…70-90 neighbors, friends and Morgan horse enthusiasts! We will be writing a full article with many more photos so please, if you attended send your photos to:

Thanks to Roxane Key for the three horse photos from the MWM Open-Barn party.
 Merriewold Fabien and his new partner Stacy McLain plan to trail ride and try out endurance riding as well. Good Luck and Congratulations From Merriewold Morgans!
