OTTB Construction Easily Adapts to New Surroundings
Construction (we call him “Gus”) arrived at Bits & Bytes Farm on Monday, August 11th. The nearly 30 hour journey to Georgia did not seem to upset him at all. He walked from the road to the barn without any trouble, and he even stopped to munch on some grass. We took the first few…
California Break for Chilletecaux and Dakota Spirit
Well I know I haven’t gotten any pictures yet but I have good news. We went to CA for a week and when I got back I got straight on Chilletecaux (no lunging) and it was as if I’d ridden them both he and Dakota Spirit the day before! What good boys – I realize…
OTTB Light Artillery has Gone Western and Ain’t Lookin’ Back
I’ve been home nearly a month, I can’t believe it! Most of the time home has been spent doing all the welcome home kinda gatherings. A lot of the other time has been very wet! This is good though because in a week the grass got waist high. I really wanted to get the pastures…
Joy in California!
Thank you so much for bringing me my JOY JOY! (Runnin Joy). She is the love of my life and will be with me till she goes to heaven! She is doing so well!
A Success Story
My wife has a degenerative brain disease that is ultimately terminal, and my son is home schooled and takes on tons of responsibility–way beyond his 13 years. I and my wife both had ridden for the better part of 30 years and had excellent training…but had abandoned our own personal riding when we had a child. After all—finances and time frequently just don’t stretch to cover children and pets like horses. We found ourselves however looking for a way to give my son an outlet away from the house and the pressure of our situation at home he lived, ate, and breathed….so I did what we always used to do—took him to a riding stable and got him lessons. . .
My Home for a Covered Riding Ring!
Well all I have to say is I wish I had a covered arena!! Between the work and weather I have had a hard time with any consistency with “Mac” (Carmac). This being said I’ve decided to do what little I can on nice days that the footing is not horrible and just continue with…
Judging Dreams Judged Sound by Vet
The vet check went (for Judging Dreams) great BUT they had x-rays done. So the vet here developed them and overnighted them to the buyer’s vet in Connecticut. Don’t know the outcome, BUT I wanted to buy Irish Morning Mist no matter what the outcome. SO he will be shipping here on Saturday! Can’t wait…
Fast Commander at Home Lovin’ to be Loved
I wanted to let you know that Fast Commander arrived in Colorado Springs this morning and seemed to make the trip without any problem. He did look somewhat suspiciously at his new surroundings before deciding to come off the trailer but now appears…
English, Western, Whatever!
It was great to get out and ride this weekend for the first time in weeks. Between the holidays, rain and work, riding time has been very limited. River (K O River Crossing) was awesome. To think that he has had only two days of ground work and two of riding in almost two months,…
