No Complaints on Moving from Happy Fella Alley Flash

Feb 9, 2008

Sorry it has been so long! A lot has happened since I last wrote. In June my husband and I decided that we have had enough of Colorado and moved back to sunny Florida. I was very excited to be near my family and friends again, but this was the most stressful move I had…

Rack & Roll – Nothing Scares Dance to the Wire

Mar 12, 2012

The thing that has impressed me the most about Dance to the Wire is how quick he learns and takes to new things. You can really see the gears in his head turning as he thinks things through before deciding if it’s worth a reaction….so far not much has bothered him.

OTTB: Off-Track-Trail-Boss

Dec 20, 2011

Seeing Heart walking around out there like he’s been doing it all his life and loving it, it is simply impossible to believe this guy has ever been a race horse. Somewhere along the way to me he must have been confused with another horse 😉 But whoever he is, I’m keeping him… he’s just great! 🙂

Jun 26, 2009

Fast Commander did three days of our local “A” show over the past 2 weekends. We competed in the Long Stirrup division to stay at 2 feet. He won two of the over fences classes, got a 4th in the flat, & had a variety of other ribbons along the way. The best thing is that he seems to enjoy being ridden & enjoy jumping.
