Diesel's owners came to my dad's place (Rockiing L Acres) for a lesson, to get more instruction on harness fitting and more experience driving. Then they all came to Saddle Ridge to drive Diesel one more time before taking him home. Diesel has been such a pleasure to train and many of the other boarders miss seeing him around. I rode him the day before, and he did very nicely at all three gaits, and actually seemed to enjoy it.
Jeff and Jillian have been coming out during Diesel's training, and have a good feel for harnessing and driving, and will do a good job with Diesel at their own place. Rowdy was sad to see Diesel go, and I've been spending extra time to console him.
You can browse the archived posts to see Diesel's progress over his time with me.

Some of my art and the Van Gogh Mural can be found atVernon Creek Gallery of Art, my next door neighbor. The best reason to stop in to that gallery is to see the gorgeous works in clay, made by Matt VanSusteren and other ceramic artists. To see the Gallery website click here.
You can see a variety of my art in a beautiful gallery called Absolutely Art in Madison Wisconsin. They are selling my mobiles, cards, ceramic horse head figurines, horse paintings, ceramic sheep ornaments, and paper-mache sculpture. http://www.absolutelyartllc.com
I had a "portrait DVD" of my two horse friends, Rainy and Rowdy made by Requisite Variety in July 2007. Rowdy does some tricks and Rainy paints a painting, and Requisite Variety did excellent work filming and editing it all together. http://requisite-variety.com/main2/portfolio.html to see a clip of this video. Thankyou, Requisite Variety! You can now also see clips of the DVD in my blog. Look in the May archives after "Diesel the Mule Early Training."
