PDJ..
I will say this, and I don't say this very often....
But you do have a good looking cowpony. In reference to the one looking like he's thinking about doing some roadwork.

I know,it's hard to believe ain't it....I don't get a lot of Hancock horses,many people are scared of um....I've probably rode more Jack colts than any other,he was close & I even rode some for Howard P when I was a kid.Him & my uncle were big friends...........

One of these days I'm gonna get around to stake-training my Morgan. He already ground-ties, so I'm pretty sure we'll be able to figure it out, and it seems like a seriously useful thing to be able to do.
Start with about a 30ft rope so they can't get a big run at something...My rope is covered with a very stiff rubber hose that can't wrap around their legs.They aren't staked solid,I want something with some give but nothing they can run away with (this is the part thats kinda tricky & ya kinda need to know what your doing)...I do mine when they are around 8 months old & use 1 heavy RR tie.....Older horses 2 & sometimes 3...Just a great thing for getting them used to things around their legs & ya don't have to mow.....

They've had ropes, hoses, whatever I can think of around their legs, and they just stand for it. They're both older than 3, but both are pretty sensible and low-key. Domino wouldn't run anywhere if there was grass, anyway! (I'm not even kidding. A little kid bounced off him once, he walked two steps and started eating, and the hardest part was getting his head back up. Ponies.)
As I start halter breaking all of my colts dragging & stepping on long stiff leads they all just take right to it....They will usually get wrapped once or twice,throw small fits & think ok & go to eating....& it stays with them....Just done it a couple times apiece last fall & just doing it again now & they just eat.......Just another little thing thats handy & very good for their future safety.....

Your horse's name is Dun? How very minimalist of you. I like it.
