Here are some more photos of Chato's Trail class.

Chato and Janet do Mother's Day Show in Bishop CA


Chato is an amazing horse, let alone a 3-year-old Mustang with 78 days of training under his saddle. Therefore Janet must be special too!! Chato has been ridden by several different people and ridden in parades, in horse shows, over jumps, out on trail etc., and he remains the calm horse that seems to be part of his disposition, or is it the sleight of hand by trainer Janet Titus of Equine Connections? Janet has a deep understanding of horses and what motivates them to perform their best and she has instilled this in her Mustang Chato.

Chato and Janet in the Mule Days Parade!






They did it! Not only did Janet and Chato ride in the Mule Days Parade in Bishop on Satuday, Chato looked like he'd been doing it his whole life! He may have been born in the high desert of eastern California, but he's a natural performance horse. And Janet is a natural leader!






Tacking up with the American Mustang breast collar.



A little lunging takes the edge off.






Heading out!



Here they are! We were sitting at the end of the parade route, and look how calm Chato is!

Holding up while the parade turns a corner...



With a smile and a wave, off they go...



After the parade, a foot soak, a drink, and a snack.

We couldn't be prouder of Janet and Chato!!
