Thoroughbreds can do
No Rapping These Fences!
Ol’ Rap (Rap It Up) is making steady progress. He is jumping better with each practice, he acts like he has had some previous schooling over jumps because he is already jumping so well. He gets a bit nervous at times but overall he has been very willing to do what I ask of him.
Best of Both Worlds . . .
Hey now!!! I read the update on Shu in the website—-and it was wonderful………except……Dad Chuck gets the best of all worlds…..lol lol—by playing BOTH the parent and trainer card, he gets to keep on riding Shu as well as Game….lol

I think he’ll never forget he’s a champion.
September 8 – Lots of New Updates

Lovers Quarrel Loves Peppermints, Jumping and His New Career and Home!
Just a note to tell you how much we love this new boy – he constantly amazes us with how level headed and sweet he is. Took him out today to the ring and he surprised me that he knew how to longe already! After a bit of W/T/C each direction I then proceeded to…
