Sarcee's Cocheta


2000 filly

Cocheta

Cocheta is owned by, and was bred, Freya Phillips. Freya waited many years to get this exact bundle of beauty: Filly, Leopard, Black, Home grown! Cocheta arrived in the wee hours of the morning. Freya only knew she arrived due to a. deflated look of Foxy (Cocheta's dam) and b. a placenta in the stall. But no baby?? What?? Freya finally heard noises and discovered her semi buried in the hay stack next to the stall. She had obviously rolled out under the stall door. After such an eventful beginning, things have gone pretty smoothly ever since.

The serious training begins....

First time being saddled.


What the heck is That on me?


Round and round we go, where we stop only she knows...


Ok, I have this down pat.


Here I am with mom, going round and round.


A shufflin' we will go, a shufflin' we will go...


A trotting, we will go, a trottin' we go..

Cocheta
Ok, wait up - this isn't my halter...


Cocheta
What IS this thing on my head?

Cocheta
This is boring... But hey, I can shuffle!


Cocheta
And I CAN go in both directions, but it's still boring.

Cocheta
Hey - what's goin' on now?

Cocheta
Ahhh, wait a minute, I dunno if I like this...let's go do that boring stuff again...

Cocheta
Huh, this is different. Sure you wanna ride like that? (I could have a lot of fun with ya like that...)

Cocheta
Uh, wait a minute, this is a little heavy now...

Cocheta
Hey, where'd you go? Dern flies are biting..let's see, where were we?

Cocheta
And we are going to do What now? I have to figure out how not to fall over here, ya know.

Cocheta
And this means what? I'm still trying to balance.

Cocheta
Ah, you want me to move a leg, like this?

Cocheta
Then my other legs? Like this? You want to move, then?

Cocheta
And like this? I can move my tail to get them dern flies, too?

Cocheta
Well, you know what? This isn't so bad - especially the stopping part.

Cocheta
Yes sir, not bad at all - especially compared to this:




Now you think you can wiggle around up there, huh?
Well gee golly whizzzz, I guess so. I don't care.

Now what do you want?


Oh! You mean don't always go straight ahead? Well, yeah, what horse would do that forever?

Hey, don't we look cool?

And NOW

She said this was the end of the dressage test.
So, what's my score? (OK, so my position is not perfect...)

As a kid...

Now aren't I a sight to behold? My mom (and grandma) thinks so!
