I do need to come up with something a bit more comfortable for him and was thinking as he gets his balance better maybe he can go in a buddy seat behind me. We will see but for now he is still okay up in front. As he is only 5 months he still can't walk along for very long but that will also come as he gets older.
In regards to desensitizing my horses. All I can say that it is many miles of riding, wet saddle blankets and making sure that every scary monster or obstacle that you come across is introduced and explored. Also, having their trust and being the leader makes a big difference as they are accepting of anything that you ask. Dakota is especially accepting and I call him my "Star Trek Horse" as he bodly goes where no horse has gone before. He accepts any kind of vehicle, heavy logging equipment, chain saws, blowers, musical bands, all animals, sirens, lights, helicopters, parachutists and even had a remote control plane flying over our heads once. He is quite special. My other horses are pretty much the same but like to stop, look and assess more often. My husband and I laugh because we purchased a quarter mare 9 years ago and had her shipped over from the US. She is a daughter of a 3 time world champion reining and cutting stallion. Guess what? She is scared to death of Swiss cows in the field with big bells. But, in the arena she'll work them fine for cutting and team penning work. Who would figure.
Jenga is quite cautious around the horses when on the ground which is good. It is funny how he can pick up on a "stink eye" and know where his place is.
Rosie Nosy. You gotta love her!

I wanted to share some pics of Rosie Nosy just so everyone can see how beautiful she is. She is a challenge every now and then but I would say overall she is a well behaved little girl, oh wait she did eat that one slipper, and that board on the deck, and peed on the floor once or twice. Never mind all that she is our pride and joy but it would be nice to go somewhere once in a while without everyone asking what kind of dog she is or complimenting us on how beautiful she is. Katy and Linda, thank you very much:D

Wonderful to see Rosie - she is gorgeous!!! She looks quite similar to her sister Dixie!! I'll post some recent pics so you can see the family resemblance

I really like the tigers. I remember when that color first started being seen in the states. Really striking!

Thanks for all the compliments and we do look forward to seeing some pics of Dixie. Rosie just got her last shot for a good while today. She weighs 16.6 lbs and is right at about 15 1/2" at the shoulder. We're hoping she doesn't get a whole lot taller. Our Vet says that she is the perfect picture of health.

LOL… biting the leash... I do this to mine, got tired of sewing them back together...:
