Thoroughbreds can do
Jo Sly Pack’s New Career is Going Well
Jo Sly Pack is solidly showing training level and schooling first level. We have been doing some three phases and that is his talent. He will jump anything you point him at. People are shocked when I tell them how old he is. He is the only five year old TB I know that can gallop in a field and come right back to you and walk around on a loose rein.
New Designs on Life for Behren’s Design
The gelding went ok. He looked amazing for the first five days and then got a slight infection. I got him on antibiotics right away and within five days he was looking good again. It is almost totally healed at this point. The rain is killing…
Fast Commander – Nice to Meet the New You
Commander has had a personality change for the better almost immediately after being gelded. I’ve been on him once on the lunge line, just walking & trotting. That didn’t seem to bother him in the least. I’ve mostly been working with him on the ground & lunging. He’s still pretty swollen though he doesn’t seem…
Painted Black Shines at Her New Home in Arizona
Painted Black aka Bella, is doing very well! She is a very congenial filly….takes things in stride and very matter of fact. She has put on weight nicely and her coat has a great sheen to it. . . She calls to me when she sees me now and gives many kisses. When you kiss her on the nose she makes those lippy faces that are quite funny.
Joe Bear’s Smooth Moves Win Two Blues
The show last weekend was fantastic. Joe was an absolute star. He acted like an old veteran the whole day. It was a dressage show at that newish facility ten minutes up the road. My ride times were quite spread apart, giving us a lot of time to just hang out. He was not nervous…
Amy’s Best Buddy Checks In
We still do plenty of ground work, lunging, etc. He has got the best personality of any of my other horses. He is just like a big kid. Loves people, and boy is he nosy! He wants to know, and be in the middle of everything you are doing, and he’s not afraid of anything, which is nice when you are on the trail with him and something runs in front of him, or blows by him.
Great Game Making Gains
Just got back from my 3rd—count em 3rd ride—and we are still uglyyyyyyyyyy,,,,but we ain’t as ugly as we were yesterday…lol. You know—I got out there and it all just comes back automatically—I don’t have to map out a plan—I remember how to train little—or big greenies—lol–we started working on flexing her poll a bit–giving…
Shelby’s Hill aka “Ping” is For Sale
Shelby’s Hill is a 2003, 16 hand Thoroughbred gelding. He is very pretty – a good guy. He could do dressage or eventing and trail riding.
“Marvin” is a Joy
Marvin has gained weight nicely, and the vet wants him to gain another 200 pounds! With the added weight and cooler temperatures, Marvin is feeling more ambitious. Nevertheless, he is always safe and sane. I can’t say enough nice things about him.
