Joe Bear Dapples Out
Hey Guys, Just wanted to send some new pics of Joe Bear from the weekend. I want to get some more of him dry so his dapples show more. They are all down his sides and over his hind quarters! A real dappled bay.
Cortableau Gets a Mom!
Cortableau spent a few days of well earned R&R at the Bits & Bytes Farm “Spa” where he received laser treatments, stretching exercises and lunging. He learned to eat grass and run free again! And he chilled with the other ex-racers on the farm who, we’re sure, told him that his racing days were over. Stevie Loverboy chatted with “Bleau” over the fence, “There’s no track here. These people are nice.” By the time his new mom Laura arrived on Friday he was feeling good and ready to meet his new family.
Leader Board is Amazing Everyone!
Well it has almost been two months since we have had Leader Board. He still amazes me as much as he did the first couple weeks. He has started over cross rails and small logs and such. He is awesome! He never even looks at the jumps, even if we try to make them a…
Race Horse to Sport Horse Takes Time and Patience
She has been affectionate right from the beginning–which made it so discouraging when she was such a touchy bold forward racehorse for so long with just the presentation of a saddle and bridle—but the last couple of weeks—she is being that big goofy teddy bear puppy dog everywhere now instead of just the times when tack was not involved. She still can get uncertain…and when she does she tries to boldly bluff her way thru like she knows everything there is to know about what she is doing—but is pretty rare of late.
Just Three Weeks Off-the-Track, Marvin is Fabulous!
Marvin is fabulous! Marvin is so adorable that I never want to take a step back to snap a picture. I can ride him up to a gate and he’ll stand quietly while I unlatch it, and doesn’t mind helping me close it after we’ve passed through it. Any day of the week, I can hop on him and walk/trot/canter anywhere I want to go without a care in the world.
Tucks St. Aly Has a New Companion
Our goats are beginning to have babies again so they are separated in different pastures, so Aly has a pasture of goats above and below his two pastures and paddock and I think he quite likes it that way. The tiny baby goat was born probably a few feet from Tucks St. Aly this morning – she is quite a few inches shy of a foot tall.
Titania Has a New Mom!
UPDATE November 2009: Titania aka “Titanium” aka “Ana” was sold to by her owner Michelle Stupey to Julie.
Midtown Manhattan – Growing in Size and Confidence
Just wanted to give you an update on Mattie. She is doing great and she’s grown two inches already. When she first came to us she was 15.1 and now she’s 15.3! I love her so much, although she’s only three and a half now, her favorite thing to do is go on trail rides.…
Bubba Leaves Bread Crumbs in the Forest
Bubba and I had the best time today! We went on our first trail ride at Bits & Bytes Farm. The other evening Elizabeth and Classic Casey had given us a quick tour as it was getting dark. Today, Andi and Bounced led Bubba and I through all the trails and we loved it! Bubs…
