No Stopping Bobby Now!
I’m pleased to report that Bobby (Christian’s Hope) finished 3rd out of 7 in his schooling class today in the schooling show/combined test at Poplar Place.
Every Adult Woman will Appreciate – Your Husband on Your Horse!?!
Outflankem aka “Bailey” is still learning to give to the bit, but Neil is doing a great job of keeping his hands and seat quiet, and it’s taking less and less time for Bailey to relax and reach down. I may be biased, but I think they look very handsome together!
Riding Bareback in the Outback
Tuck’s St Aly one year later. I’ve been riding bareback about 1 out of 3 times I ride; Aly loves it, and it’s a good thing to do when I don’t have as much time to tack up. It does amazing things for my seat and helps my leg position immensely.
Whozierhurry Sends “Hola’s” from Mexico
I wanted to touch base and say hello. I bought WHOZIERHURRY last year when I was living in Mexico. I sold him to a trainer there and he is doing great! I keep asking for pictures, but do not have any recent ones. I will keep trying. He is gorgeous, sound and quiet enough for…
Mr. Inquisitive – “Hey, They Never Did This at the Track”
“Qu” (Mr. Inquisitive) was so good today. He put up with us rearranging antlers, trying on ones that had jingle bells but wouldn’t stand up. He was probably getting a little annoyed! He’s out with my older gelding tonight and they are getting along well. Suzie

Taxi learns who is in charge. When horses first arrive, you tend to want to love on them and let them get away with things. In reality this is the most important time of all. You need to establish the “herd order”. You need to let the new horse know you are in charge and that the horse is not the leader – you are!
“Special” is Way Too Dull a Word for this Day. . .
I have a hard time calling this a success story; to tell the truth, I have a hard time writing about it at all. Some events feel too sacred to talk about, and my 3rd day with Tucks St. Aly was one such event…The ride that day was superb, we continued our communication, and I think we are beginning to learn more and more about each other; but the best surprise I have ever had was the great highlight of the day. Who can I think of that I am more indebted to than Aly’s original owner and breeder, the person whose very desire to have him was and is responsible for his existence today.
Win For Morgan Putting on the Weight
Fitch (Win For Morgan) is up to roughly 1100-1115lbs and gaining after moving to a new barn where he can finally receive what he needs. He’s still a darling to work with and ride . . .
