Thoroughbreds can do
Cortableau in the “Lap of Luxury”
Cortableau catches on very quickly and is so calm. He is also extremely polite – walks with you nicely, waits while you put his food down, etc. I sat on the mounting block in the round pen, and he came over, put his head down for a scratch, then pretty much put his head in my lap.
Baileysontherocks Still Rocks Eight Years Off-the-Track!
Baileysontherocks has found a wonderful new home! He is now living at a private farm just five miles up the road from me, with a young girl named Colbie. Colbie is just getting into jumping and showing English, and loves his forward, eager personality.

Title Search aka “Tie” – Variety is the Spice of Life
I have been very busy and haven’t had as much time here lately to work with my boy (Title Search aka “Tie”), as I would like. He is doing great though. I took him to a clinic to celebrate our one-year anniversary this year. It was a natural horsemanship clinic and he did WONDERFUL! I…

I also rode without stirrups for a good 15 minutes or so just to challenge myself and hopefully keep a good seat even though I am coaching myself.
Taxi Learns to Jump!
Hi Elizabeth, Taxi continues to be amazing. It’s hard to believe she’s only been with us for 11 months. She is so smart and so sweet. She totally trusts Cait which translates into her doing amazing things, like jumping at a new barn in deep puddles (after a monsoon) without questioning the jumps or the…

Please remove my horse FOR SALE, Cherish the Groom, from your website. She is currently in training for barrel racing. We will see how she does. She turns fast, runs fast and is very bright so who knows. Thanks for putting her on your website. I did get two people who responded to her pictures…
“Snow Banker” – Racing Through the Snow . . .
Banker (Bank President) is doing very well and fills me with joy to watch him run and play everyday. He seems so very happy which is a gift in itself.
