Blue
I got Blue in 2004 when I decided to get back into horses after a 20-year hiatus. He was just three at the time -- absolutely the wrong horse for a green owner/rider. He is, frankly, not the right horse for me. He needs someone smaller, with more experience, and who will give him a job. I would be willing to let him go, but only to an experienced clicker trainer. Would he do well in a non-clicker home? Yes. But he'll SHINE with a clicker trainer. This is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of horse. Seriously. He's one of the special ones.
Here's some video of me clicker training him to stand on a pedestal:
And here is a clip of some free-leading:
Check out The Clicker Horse Diary for lots of stories from the first two years with Blue, Guin, and my other horses.

My sweet Blue boy. He's a small horse -- just 14.3 hands -- but he's beautifully put together. He has a terrific sense of humor, and he's smart as a whip. I truly can't rave enough about this horse. He's absolutely wasted on me. His potential is incredible. |

Blue and his trainer, Leslie Peeples. She's AMAZING! |

Blue and Guin, relaxing in the paddock. I just love to see a horse curl up like this. |

Trotting in the paddock. He really has lovely movement! |
