Thoroughbreds can do
First Recognized Horse Trials are a Synch for Heather’s Best
Heather continues to just get better and better! We did the Fall Horse trials at the Horse Park of New Jersey this past weekend. It was a really big event, only our second time competing at a horse trial, and our first recognized event. I discovered the night before our competition that Heather thinks braids…

Happy Mother’s Day from Gloria and Fame For a Day
Just wanted to send you some pictures of me and my boy! I had a WONDERFUL Mother’s Day ride on him today! He’s so gorgeous and is starting to get very round in his work! Wishing you a very wonderful Mother’s Day!!!
Chipawild – Not At All Wild
Chipawild is doing very well. Doing lead changes and starting to jump small courses. My daughter’s trainer says she is very easy and learns quickly – only has to be shown things once. She still needs a lot of leg and the professional who schools her says she needs to push all the time at the canter to keep her from breaking – maybe why she wasn’t the fastest!
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…
Happy New Year from Allegiant and Amanda
Allegiant and I are doing great. I overheard my trainer talking with someone on the trail say, “I am not a big fan of thoroughbreds, but I do like her mare.”
Building a Bond with an OTTB
Molly and Antioch after just four months have built a bond and trust between them that could never be matched if she had purchased a ‘made’ horse. Starting a young horse or an off-the-track Thoroughbred takes time and dedication. Most teenage girls just want to be showing and winning ribbons not spending time training a horse. Molly is different, she is enjoying the training process and is taking the time to do all the little steps that will allow her to bond with Anitoch and they will become partners. Watch this video of Molly and Antioch and see how doing ground work and spending time has paid off with a special bond. Great work Molly.
“Woody” aka “Blind Date” is Wonderful!
“Woody” is absolutely wonderful. We couldn’t love him more. He is very very handsome and he went to his first ‘AA’ show several weeks ago and did wonderfully. He placed 5th in one of his over fences in the Baby Greens and couldn’t have looked better or been more confident.
Is There a Doxology in the House?
Dox made it to Tampa this morning in good condition. He arrived around 9am. My barn manager received him as we are still in Colorado. We can’t wait to get home to see him and love on him and until then, I have people…
