Thoroughbreds can do
Big Heart – Big Talent
Ping (Shelby’s Hill) is now 7, and a full 16 hands. He has filled out and is beautiful.
After some work his feet are now great, and I hope to start his event training this year. He is so talented in dressage he could just do that, but that is not all I want to do. I long-lined him yesterday after not doing it for two years and he was just great. I still toy with the idea of a bigger horse but he has a big heart.
Titania Has a New Mom!
UPDATE November 2009: Titania aka “Titanium” aka “Ana” was sold to by her owner Michelle Stupey to Julie.
Anamericansoldier in Connecticut
Soldier is doing well and has settled in here. He has shoes on and is much happier. His teeth are done and he has been wormed once. He is eating and drinking well and we are giving him a bit more food.
A “Familiar Ghost” named “Casper”
Ghost (aka “Casper”) has settled in just fine. He’s a little worried about the golf carts we use on the farm, and he’s not too sure about water troughs, but other than that he’s having the time of his life. He is breath taking and gorgeous. Thank you again for this lovely animal. He is incredible. I loved working…

Positive Outcome to Anticipated “Irish Challenge”
Well it’s been a week and we “found” Irish hidden beneath his stubborn façade. My trainer rode him and I rode him a couple of times and finally yesterday we got a break through! He tested us pretty good, BUT he couldn’t stand us persistently asking him “to listen”, and finally we saw the “schoolmaster”…
Gentle Brave Knight Villain
Sixth Year Anniversary update for Knight Villain. He’s sound, whole, happy, fat, and loving his life as a full time trail buddy. He’s kind and gentle with everyone, loves to give “pony rides” to visiting kiddies, yet still turns it on for me out on the galloping track in true race horse fashion. I think he’ll never forget he’s a champion.
Mr. & Mrs. “Max” Impact Herd
It has been so hot down this way that “Max” (Maximum Impact) has been getting a break. The humidity and the temps have pushed it where it was like 103 degrees. So until it cools off “Mr. Max” is having a vacation but as soon as it cools off he will be getting back into…
English, Western, Whatever!
It was great to get out and ride this weekend for the first time in weeks. Between the holidays, rain and work, riding time has been very limited. River (K O River Crossing) was awesome. To think that he has had only two days of ground work and two of riding in almost two months,…
