[IceHorses] Tiv posse video

2007-10-22 Thread Janice McDonald
here is a video i made of tivar in his sheriffs posse tryout. (he made
it!)  I made the movie and edited it showing what I wanted you guys to
see, then uploaded it, then it turned out to show the parts I didnt
want not the parts i wanted.  Anyway.  You can get an idea of the
sound and I am in the bright lime green t shirt.  I will try and get
better at making movies :)  I wanted you guys to see how a horse in
front of us kicked at another horse and caused a problem but Tivar
remained calm.

[IceHorses] Tiv and the farrier

2007-04-26 Thread Janice McDonald
The farrier came yesterday.  I am worried about him.  he is a colon
cancer survivor and yesterday he was pale, clammy and could barely
have the energy to file the hooves.  I felt bad he had to shoe jaspar
on the front cause he has a split.  I said want to come back another
day and do the rest?  He said if you dont mind, I am just
exhausted...  then he asked who was left.  I said, Fox, Nasi and
Tivar, and he said well I will do the big shetland and save the rest
for next week.  so I go get Tivar and he was an angel.  Then while he
was doing him my farrier stops and laughs and says well looka there,
he's my little helper buddy and Tiv's lead was loose and untied
completely and he was holding it in his mouth and standing perfectly
still with his foot up, like I'll hold myself for you so I dont move
 hahaha.  Of course I didnt have a camera...

 here is tiv's  fast little walk.  is it a foxwalk?  Janice

Hard to tell from the angle, but it does look like it could be a little
diagonal, so maybe...?.  I'm glad you had a great time.  Tivar is one
gorgeous horse, and it sounds like he's a fine trail horse...I'm so glad you
have him.  Give me a hug from Aunt Karen.  :)

 finos.

about their bits.  LOL.

2007-04-22 Thread Karen Thomas
  It was not like a walking horse canter, it was very fast and I didnt
like it much!

Is there any such a thing as a walking horse canter?  :)  Holly and Mac
could not possibly have more different canters - Holly, soft and easy and
wonderfully smooth, a gait you could ride all day; Mac's is long-strided,
rough and absolutely miserable to ride.  Both are registered TWH, both with
Midnight Sun and Merry Go Boy showing on their papers!

BTW, my QH, Sundance, had a long-strided, strung-out canter when I got him,
and it was pretty rough.  As we worked on getting him off his forehand, his
canter got much, much smoother.

I wonder if his canter seemed scarey fast because when the QH went by,
he is so tall and long legged, that in order to keep up Tivar had to
go what felt like really fast.

[IceHorses] tiv video

2007-04-22 Thread Janice McDonald
Here are two videos my friend took today on our paso fino ride.  The
first one is in a dry lake bed.  When the pasos came fast from behind
I got tense, because when horses do that to stonewall he gets so
excited he either takes off with them or gets freaked out and wants to
jig and get ready to protect himself.  So I got myself prepared, feet
level in the stirrups, seated correctly, all that, and you can see in
the video it was definitely anti-climactic.  I don't think anything
gets him very excited.  In the second video I was trying to get him to
do his fancy prancey walk for the camera but he only trotted, and
circled around as if to tell me he wanted to not leave the other
horses.  i wasn't expecting his sharp turn so not very great riding!
I wasnt steering really :)

he did one thing on the trail that was scarey, and everyone laughed so
hard about it!  I felt like I was about to fall and yet everyone was
even laughing about it back at the trailers!  Tivar was in front and
started going faster, faster, and the paso behind me started really
gaiting and he acted like he didnt want her to pass him and we were
headed toward a big tree so I leaned left and Tivar chose to go right,
so I leaned even further left, not cueing him in any way, but usually
he just goes with me if I lean, so I am leaning further and further
and he is going more and more the other way to avoid the tree and at
the last minute I grabbed his mane with my right hand and actually
caught myself from falling by reaching and grabbing the tree, then
when tivar kept on a chuggin there I am ygh  hanging on to
the tree and everyone just started laughing like it was the funniest
thing they ever saw!  So its like he makes his own decisions if the
rider seems unclear or anything :)  One person kept saying she wished
I had a picture of it :)

Almost everyone I talk to says it doesnt matter how you pronounce,
just pronounce the way you want!  Nasi's name is Monasi which means
color of the earth with a snip.  His breeder pronounced it naysi
and I pronounce it Nossy, which suits him better i think :)  Then
Karen called Tivar Tivver rhymes with shiver but before I ever heard
her pronounce it I was calling him in my mind Tee-var and thats what
I call him, and my husband calls him THE Teev, and Nasi The little
Nostril or Nos-Man.  He calls almost every horse a name with man at
the end.  traveller is Travellin Man which he shortened to Mister
Man.  One time we were camping and someone came over to pet him and
had apparently been listening to us talk to him cause as she was
petting him she was saying good boy man!  which cracked me up, like
we would name our horse Man  like here man!  come on Man!  anyway.
 When I baby talk Stonewall I call him Walls-it and one time a
friends daughter asked will you be bringing walls ED tomorrow?
haha.  WallsED.

 I have googled Tivar and it seems it is an old norse god. I like the
Mountain Spirit better. We called him   Mister T.

I called him Mr. T sometimes too!  That and T-Bar, a nice QH name for a
sweet-natured horse with a lovely natural jog.  :)

Janice, how are you pronouncing Tivar?  I often read these names and
then wonder if I'm pronouncing them properly.

I'm saying it like Tea-var...

Is that right?
