From  Marlee Stortroen:
 
Day 45 with Vincent
 
Worked outside of the arena today. We warmed up with some lunging, sidepassing, and pivots on the ground. We also worked on some obstacles with stepping over logs and working in between trees. Afterwords we went for a little stroll around under saddle. Vinny is building some solid confidence on the trails and is getting the hang of picking up his feet around sticks. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get some videos of us working around.Also to add Vinny got his feet trimmed today. He was a little unsure at first but settled in quickly and stood quietly for the farrier.
Vincent will be available for adoption at the Dakota Showdown Finale on August 23, 2026 in Lennox, South Dakota. Check out http://dakotashowdown.com for more info.
