Zip came to TPDR along with his mother Trixie and her best friend Annabelle also available for adoption.  He is a yearling gelding and will mature as a small standard probably around 38 to 40 inches tall. As you can see from his pictures he is a very handsome young man. You can also see from those very same pictures that Zip doesn't know much of anything!!! He doesn't know how to pick up his feet for the farrier, some days he doesn't know it's O.K. to be approached and put on a lead-rope, and no he doesn't know very much about being haltered, tied, or being tied to the hitch rack. Oh, and no he doesn't know a thing about the fly spray bottle either.

 

Well enough about what Zip doesn't know. Here is what I do know about him. First, he was NEVER weaned from Trixie. Second he was NEVER taught anything having spent his entire first year just hanging out with Trixie and Annabelle. That is no fault of his own. Third and very important the little bugger has NEVER once attempted to kick me as we work on his daily lessons. Yes, he has a tendency to become air-born when he is trying to tell me "No,no I don`t wanna do it!" but has NEVER once gotten angry at me. The situation I may have put him in, but never angry at me! He has a great fondness for donkey treats and he enjoys me rubbing his face, ears, and back, though I am not yet supposed to touch those legs and belly.

 

He really is a fun guy to work with and see him learn! The look on his face when he figures out that all the new stuff that he is learning really is not intended to do him in is priceless. Air Zip is a for sure Work In Progress!
