Update on the four fillies we adopted(my mom, her friend, and I)

Concha: (Icehorse's appy mare) 2yr old---so far...4 months ground training, been backed twice, seems to be gaited or just a really really smooth trot. Complete transformation from extremely scared and spooky to sweet an people loving.

Raven & Gracie --Teresa adopted. Raven is only a yearling, but Gracie is 3 and her and her daughter have saddle broke her and they are both very sweet horses. Gracie appears gaited also.

Quartz- my mom adopted. Colorful! Very mellow and sweet. Very halter broke 2 yr old-ground work done and my mom just had surgery last week, so she's trying to convince me to go to AZ so I can hop on her. She's calm and ready to ride.

My mom just got her boys on Quartz last weekend. She is calm, sweet and mellow. She's so happy with her cber rescue. They still have 80-90 degree sunshiny weather--its 34 degrees and raining here in norcal.

Update on Quartz- She's called Rosie now (Rose Quartz). My mom loves her. For the past few months they've been working with her, kids on her with lead line. Last night my mom and my 2 brothers went out on a trail ride, and Rosie went too! Her first real ride away from home and was awesome. My 16 yr old brother rode her in a western saddle and a halter. She had one spook and ran off a bit, but other than that she was very mellow and a good girl. She will send pics and I'll post them.
