Cisco is 5 years old
Cisco is 5 years old now and it's clear that he needs and wants a job at Running Deer CIC. He's come a long way since he came to us as a wild Dartmoor pony.
Equine Assisted Education
A new home for our horses
It became apparent at the end of last year that we needed a new home for our horses. Trelawny, Cisco and Mario are part of our Equine Assisted Learning team.
Getting to know Trelawny
Before starting at Running Deer I had never really felt any closeness or connection to horses. My daughter had riding lessons with a friend who had horses and probably about 5 years ago, I developed an interest in learning to ride though I never did anything about it.
Moving the horses
Moving our horses to their new home proved to be challenging but the boys are finally in their winter quarters and permanent new home. Of course we chose the wettest, windiest day in which to do this. But moving them requires people and vehicles, and a coordinated approach because we walked them the 5 miles, rather than transporting them in the trailer.
