Midtown Manhattan – Trooper at Home and Happy

Snowed In In Maryland
I’m sure you’ve heard the Mid-Atlantic got walloped with a storm Friday into Saturday. My area got 24″! We’re all hanging in, and the horses don’t seem to be nearly as miserable as I would think they would be. Here’s a beautiful shot of Bailey, aka Outflankem, from about an hour ago.
Parked Outside Antioch’s Stall
It has been a thrilling day! We spent the majority of our time parked outside Antioch’s stall sitting in lawn chairs. I feel like I have a newborn at home who I have to watch to see when they poop and drink and eat. He finally laid down for some rest this evening. He was exhausted. He has been eating and drinking.

A Success Story
My wife has a degenerative brain disease that is ultimately terminal, and my son is home schooled and takes on tons of responsibility–way beyond his 13 years. I and my wife both had ridden for the better part of 30 years and had excellent training…but had abandoned our own personal riding when we had a child. After all—finances and time frequently just don’t stretch to cover children and pets like horses. We found ourselves however looking for a way to give my son an outlet away from the house and the pressure of our situation at home he lived, ate, and breathed….so I did what we always used to do—took him to a riding stable and got him lessons. . .
Antioch Video
We got a quick update on how Antioch is doing. Look at how well he is moving and he is on the bit. We are very proud of this pair! There are several videos on Antioch on YouTube. Watch them and see how an off-the-track Thoroughbred’s body changes as they learn to balance themselves and…
Riding Ridge
It has been two months since I moved Ridge to another barn, and I wanted to let you know that Ridge and I are doing great! My new barn is also located next to a lot of trails, so I am able to do trail rides with my daughter. Ridge seems to enjoy them!
