What We Learned Was Shocking - I Was Wrong!

[@lindacrist2620]

I love that Johnny and Ruthie treated Luna with so much kindness. They were both so confident but also praised Luna and encouraged her with a quiet word. Much respect to both of them and their parents for raising great kids.

[@marcyking461]

You can tell someone has worked with Luna before. She is a sweet, responsive little mare. I hope she ends up in loving hands, when she finds her (hopefully) forever home. In the meantime, I am very impressed that you brought the neighbor's kid over to ride her, rather than riding her yourself due to the weight issue, which probably would have had an impact on Luna's itinial performance. Too many people have no respect for animals or their reasonable limitations. Kudos to you for your good sense and thoughtfulness.

[@stardust949]

She looks marginally better...and it's nice to see her being allowed to have a period of Grace in which to heal up some. The kids are really sweet! Johnny's a good horseman.

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

Luna is amazing. Young Johnny treats Luna with so much gentleness, understanding and respect. He sure looks like he knows what he is doing. Bravo to both Johnny Senior and Junior

[@denisemiller4083]

She’s such a sweet mare with zero aggression. Absolutely she would make a wonderful family horse for kids!

[@darlenemckay265]

She's going to make a great riding horse with time, patience, and love.

[@pamelaromer7727]

That young man is a natural! And Luna is trying so hard.

[@MN-mw8ww]

For a 4 year old plus being starved you can't get any better than that! ❤What a good girl

[@Ascension-wg7bj]

It's extremely obvious that these horses at Route 66 are well cared for. Luna is an amazing horse. Another story ending happy.

[@loribaker8339]

Johnny is not afraid of getting on any horse!👏 That kid is amazing. Luna does need more time to fill out and get her feet straightened out. Messing with her when she's being fed will help her become more social. I almost hate to see winter come. The Farm on Route 66 is so beautiful this time of year! Just means that it'll put Blake closer to coming home. ❤️

[@vickisacks8084]

Luna is such a beautiful, gentle horse.

[@patriciamountin9564]

Awe!! She looks so cute and Johnny is the perfect size kid for her. She's so darn sweet and I'm glad she's at your place.

[@CharlieOkeson]

It's so heartwarming to see you and those wonderful kids treating that poor horse with love and kindness ❤️.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

It's amazing to watch her memory kick in under Johnny's tender care and encouragement. His confidence gave her back some of her own. And Ruthie just added to that! The longing Ruthie had for Luna as *her* horse was palpable. What a sweet girl - I hope she gets her chance to have Luna as hers.

What a blessing on this Sunday morning to see Luna being ridden in the training coral by Johnny ! Thank you Alan for sharing !AND Thank you Johnny for this wonderful demonstration.

Luna looks great in tack.Shes got a good stride on her considering her hooves. Definitely a kids horse in the making. Some miles on her, and shes going to do well

Johnny has all the mannerisms of a real cowboy!!! So fun to see such a young man so well trained and in his element. What great families you both have.

[@nicolaxoxo1]

@@TheFarmonRoute66I think you should gift her to Johnny. They are a perfect match. I believe you said you only paid $25 for her? So far you only have invested in a trim. In any case if he puts in the months/years of work training her and someday gets too large for her, then he deserves to make the money on the resale

Johnny is a very good horseman. He is able to convey what he wants and assess what the horse knows or has been schooled in. I watch Tin Barn Farm from time to time, too. I have enjoyed watching the children of both families grow and expand their worlds and talents. Best wishes to everyone. ❤😊

For Luna still being under weight, out of confition, with poor hooves while having an experienced light weight rider she doesnt know after going through so many recent life changes - she did pretty well.

You are so welcome!

[@fleetskipper1810]

Thanks for providing a life-saving way station for the rescue horses you foster. Your farm is a critical step toward a better future for all of them. Some commenters appear to misapprehend that you are their final stop. Tin Barn Farm is another way station. It requires many contributors to make the rescue pipeline work.

[@jmartin7345]

If her hooves are still bad is it painful for her to be ridden? Poor baby.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

No, I don’t think it’s painful. She is so much better than when we got her. We just want to help her continuing to get better.

[@nsnyder1506]

Just really concerned for Lunas front left leg and hoof!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@beckyshell4649]

I think she is a perfect kids horse,much better than a small pony.

[@laraemitchell9064]

I agree! I always advise people to get their kids a gentle “bomb proof” horse rather than a feisty little pony that is too small to be ridden by adults. They learn to out fox their very young riders really early on.

[@jeannettegiles5869]

Luna actually rode off nice. She looks more albino than Cremllos as AQHA now designates them. Cremellos are so susceptible to have cancer which is why they were not able to be registered for all the years before. Luna did great with Ruthie as well. What good girl. Will be wonderful to see her fill out. 💕💕From East Texas

[@starlenekalinski5633]

I watch Tin Barn Farm and I am really impressed by the training they do. I watched for two or three years at least and seen Johnny climb on horses that he had to pull himself up from the saddle to get to the stirrups! He’s definitely a good horseman.

[@helenpeart4562]

Luna is so quite and going to make a lovely child's pony. Johnny and Ruthie are very calm riders and kind as well. Like it that both of he riders rewarded Luna.

[@sierradi1]

She's doing great. You might suggest to anyone wanting to buy her, they can paint circles of black (shoe polish) around her eyes when they ride her. Supposed to help all white around eye horses in the sun. Just a suggestion. The fly mask is good when she's not being ridden. Helps her eyes in the sun and with flies.

[@dawnmichele7181]

What about a zinc sunblock ? would that be safer than shoe polish?

I was wondering if you have seen the rescue babies drinking milk from their mommas. I have only seen them follow their moms and eating grass or hay. Do you think the moms could have dried up from being malnourished. The babies might need supplements.

Apparently the easiest way to tell the difference between cremello and perlino is to look at the mane and tail. Cremello has creamy white and perlino has more red/pink color. That's why I'm leaning towards perlino 😊

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

Thanks for the tips!

[@mamasplayinhookie3131]

@@TheFarmonRoute66 Think the only way to be sure is through a test. I'm not an expert by any means. To make things even more confusing there is the smoky cream which looks like cremello and perlino. If you did the test you'll get lots of views. Only thing that's 100% is she's a double dilute and will be absolutely stunning once she's filled out ❤️

She has a well let down twist. Once all those muscles build back she's gonna be fast when needed and a quiet mount. The hoofs are definitely slightly slowing her stride.
