Thoroughbreds can do
Big Heart – Big Talent
Ping (Shelby’s Hill) is now 7, and a full 16 hands. He has filled out and is beautiful.
After some work his feet are now great, and I hope to start his event training this year. He is so talented in dressage he could just do that, but that is not all I want to do. I long-lined him yesterday after not doing it for two years and he was just great. I still toy with the idea of a bigger horse but he has a big heart.
The Newest “A Team” – Allegiant and Amanda
Allegiant is doing fantastic!! She is settling in great. Her pasture buddy is a 25 year old 13hh pony mare. But, right across the fence, she can also hang out with three geldings.

“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.

I Got In Trouble . . .
She wanted an owner…and person to bond and match up with—she and I do—and she was crankyyyyyyyyyy when I “dumped her” yesterday. Well, can’t say I am the happiest about the attitude…..but then again–not always that keen when my wife cranks one up either, but she’s been a keeper for 31 yrs. The one thing you have to appreciate is that the horse may have been soured on her racing because she didn’t get what she needed…but she is open and responsive to retraining when she does—she doesn’t hold grudges and hasn’t soured on work—she just wants someone to work for…..kind of a touching sentiment from a racehorse.
Who’s Trainin’ Who?
I just wanted to tell you that Vilas County is doing great. His dressage training improved a lot over the last weeks, but we are still miles away from competing. I attached you a free jumping video that I took yesterday. He really shows some good potential for becoming a great jumper. That was only…
The “Moose” Cuts Loose with Lots of Lovin’
OTTB Popular One, aka Moose, nuzzles new dad, Nick”Moose” (OTTB Popular One) has calmed down after his trip and LOVES almost as much as we love giving it to him. “Moose” is the coolest horse ever. Personality is brought to a new level with him. He actually licked Nick. I think we have an identity…
Love at First Meeting!
….I didn’t even quite realize who was over in that pasture, until Barry said “now Aly….stays over in this pasture” and I just about exploded in a scream, I don’t think words can describe what happens when you feel the soft muzzle of an Aly BaYboy for the first time, I felt so quiet when I first touched him, I think its because such feelings, just can’t be expressed, that’s all there is to it.
