This is Banjo and this is his story...
We just adopted Banjo in February
2004 so his story is fairly short. Banjo comes from Nevada, is about
14.2hh and pretty skinny right now. We need to get some weight on him!
He will eat hay from my hand but not
very much and he's still very nervous about it. He's not like Bonnie at
all in that respect. He'll come around soon, I'm sure. He just
needs to take baby steps.
We put together a squeeze chute in the round
pen so we could get close to him. He did really well!Of course,
he was a little jumpy at first but we got a halter on him in no time at
all.
He's learning to lead and getting
used to having us touch him all over.
Bobby Winn of
Buckeye Trail Horse and Transport is
now working with Banjo. We haven't had the time to devote to
training lately and Bobby is doing a great job with him.

Bobby continues to work with Banjo. Trailer
loading went great and now Banjo is over at Bobby's place. He's
been saddled and Bobby has been on his back. Things are going
great!
UPDATE:
Banjo came home in August after
a trip to Hocking Hills with Bobby. He's turned out to be quite
the nice horse.
Doug saddled him up as soon as he got home and went for a little ride
around the farm...
They started out in the round pen and eventually headed out into the
open pasture...
