- Ontelaunee Horses &
Rancho "Tour"

BART THE HORSE SAYS:
"These are photos of me and some of my friends, here in our "neighborhood". There are lots of spring days that are just about the greatest, in the whole year, to be living outdoors all the time, with lots of room to roam."


Visiting friends, Abby and Sarah, check out Danny being checked out by John, and seem quite interested in the very calm, quiet and natural procedures of the use of the Sumerel Training System methods, being used for basic relationship training..
Abby, as well as her friend, Sarah, wanted to try riding in a western saddle, which neither girl had done before..
Neither girl had ever before ridden a horse who was going both barefoot and bitless, either.
After riding, the girls posed for a photo with John, before leaving for home.
Our vet', "Doc'" Amy's mare, Minnie, at her first Competitive Trail Ride of 2004
Our newest neighbor in 2004, is an Appaloosa filly, named Foolish Chatter.
At a mere 3 1/2 months old, Chatter tried nursing with her new, adopted "mom", Daisy.  Needless to say, this doesn't work!
Our neighbors, Kim & Piper hope to ride Daisy & Chatter together in years ahead.
Our top local attraction in the springof 2003 was "Doc'" Amy's foal, Juniata.
Juni's Mom is the Arabian mare, Kharbon (the second of "Doc'" Amy's two mares).
This shot of Juni's "first stand" is a freeze frame of a video feature on this site.
Juniata, "Doc'" Amy and Kharbon are the stars of the video feature.

The Early Life and Times of Juniata video feature contains all these scenes with Juni and much more!  Its running time is over twelve minutes and it can be viewed in either a medium or large screen display, which you may choose depending on your computer and internet connection speeds. 

(Broadband recommended for large screen viewing)

Also in the spring of 2003, Bart only had Llamas Allys and Beaker for a herd.
Since our quarter horse, Danny hadn't yet arrived here, Bart kept the llamas busy.
Bart used to joke about how much fatter Allys' younger brother, Beaker, was.
So, Bart would sneak up and then joke about how much faster he was.
Of course, Bart tends to be somewhat of a "fattie", himself.
Here's a classic memory for us: Easter of 2003, when Juni wore some bunny ears.
And Juni's friend, Doyle, being a clown as usual, borrowed the ears for his pix.
