Thoroughbreds can do

Barnwoodbo Begins New Training Regime

Oct 25, 2008

It is hard to believe it is the middle of October already and we have had Bo for five weeks. We have been busy. My friend Staci had the last of the fall shows and her older event horse came up lame. Old age gets us all eventually. I guess the timing is perfect since…

Dr. Sidney Settles In at Home

Mar 14, 2012

Sidney has officially made it through his first day, I attached a few pics of him in the pasture. He is a bit of a worrier, I can tell that he feels safer in his stall at the moment, he did finally settle in the pasture but stood at the very far end, looking off into the distance, I went down to talk to him and offer water a few times and he was fine about me approaching. . .

Mr.Boston is fabulous!!!! Elizabeth didn’t want to go back to school!! She said that he would go and live in the dorm with her! We can’t wait to see what she does with him. For day 2 of riding him in our arena, they both look fantastic!

Happy Birthday Thoroughbreds!

Jan 11, 2009

My last Hollywood Vic update included Halloween photos, so I know it has been too long! Here we are in January, one month away from a very special anniversary for my Hollywood Vic and I..one year on February 10th. He is bigger, stronger, sweeter (if that is possible) and into his 5th year of life!…

Haunted Halloween Hunter Pace is Big Hit for Horses

Oct 28, 2008

We went to the Haunted Hollow Hunter Pace at Ashland, October 18th. We were the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Since most of our Bits & Bytes Farm horses are black or bay, we only took “Dudley” (aka Josh) to be the black horse. Leslie took her chestnut Thoroughbred as the red horse, and Mary…

Votive Arrives at Her New Home in Vermont

Jun 30, 2008

I have to say Votive is the best horse ever. She unloaded and looked around as we walked for about an hour. Very calm but inquisitive on the surroundings. She has been really well behaved in the stall and walking. I have turned her out twice already in a round pen and she thought that…

Nothin’ Much Rattles “Huey’s” Chain

Feb 5, 2009

Wanted to send some quick pictures we took over the weekend of “Huey” aka Admiration, since I’ve been promising them forever. This canter is the first time we’ve really cantered – I’ve let him gallop some just to get some energy out, but this time he actually sat back and collected. It was wonderful! As…
