Honestly, for the first three years that I had Dusty in training for his then owner, Chip Lamb, I begged him to cut Dusty he was such a handful! He was 1000 pounds of testosterone and I was the one having to deal with it. I am glad now that Chip ignored my pleas, but it was a long haul getting Dusty to the point where he was socialized properly. Dusty was 7 years old before I could actually enjoy him! I bought him when he was coming 5. I am grateful every day, now that he remains whole. I have trained several of his offspring and they are absolutely incredible as far as their willingness to learn and their athletic ability. They are like sponges and absorb lessons immediately. In fact, I just received an email from Orwicks, who have a Dusty daughter, that Brianne is just now starting. She is astounded at how quickly this filly learns and is going to try to get her on cattle. Maybe another cutting Fjord??!! His offspring leave me with my mouth hanging open at how fast they learn.
