The Cinderella Pony

Cinderella purchased a new white pony for her collection of white driving and riding horses. Except he doesn't know how to work he only knows how to be handsome. Cinderella had contacted me to see if I had room for her new pony to start having some training done.





Cabillo started his training with me August 21st 2008. My girls also have been helping with the training of Cabillo. This is where he got the Cinderella pony from because he is white with long flowing mane and tail. Cabillo is owned by Ricque of Maine and she is having Cabillo trained for her Grand daughter age four. Who feel in love with Cabillo. So as of today Cabillo has had a months worth of training and is going to have a few more weeks of training to make his training more refined.
He is being ridden by all the girls ages 4, 7, and 10. Walk trot and canter and through some trail class stuff like a bridge and poles on the ground.
Cabillo is pulling a cart up and down the road also in a ring setting.




Here he is starting to pull the cart. It did take some time to get to this point but he was sure ready when it was time.










Here is pulling the cart with me in it he did very well for the first time.

Yesterday Cabillo went out down the road for some more training. We meet a very large tractor on the road and he wasn't going very slow. Cabillo kept right on walking down the road. All was quiet then out pooped a large Shepard dog jumping on the end of his leash and Cabillo trot right along. We are getting almost home an I hear the train whistle get around the corner there is the train. Cabillo walked toward the train and then waited for it to be done passing. This little man amazed me today. when I started working with Cabillo I wasn't sure he was going to be a cart horse he was a little racy when nervous and wasn't sure about having me behind him. The other thing he liked to do was a little rear when confused with something . Yesterday he did none of these things and was a safe perfect little man. Great job Cabillo. This little pony is well on his way to pulling Cinderella's pumpkin to the ball.
