Christian’s Hope at Home Fox Hunting
Ex-race horse Christian’s Hope has found that he enjoys hacking out and jumping logs and other “natural” jumps so he is a natural for fox hunting in Charleston, SC.
Mister Inquisitive aka “Qu” – SOLD! December 2008
SOLD! Congratulations to Suzie Jacobson of Cameron, NC! Here is his Prospect Horse FOR SALE information: “Qu” is a very cute 15’2 and a half hand (and growing) 2005 gelding.

Vilas County Schools His First X-Country Jumps!
Vilas County understood directly what the game was about and as more we jumped as more he wanted to do. At the end he was really paying attention to see where the next jump is. I had great control over him and he never wanted to rush before or after the jumps. We jumped most jumps out of trot as this gives him more confidence right now.
Grab that “Chance” when You Find It!
Jim is absolutely in love. He just adores riding Chance. Chance seems to enjoy being ridden by Jim, too. They make a lovely soft picture together. I videoed them today, and while watching the video, Jim said, “How did I ever end up with such a nice horse?”
Breaking the “Icy” with Mares is Tough
Another story for you…Icy is getting along fine and does well with Coin, Dudley and the Appys. I think there is a consortium of mares (led by Leslie’s big chestnut Thoroughbred) to keep him from really getting into the herd yet. I found him down in the stall (our barn has a section of wash…
Better Be There’s Menu
Buddy is eating fine now he does eat the grass hay and I only give him two small flakes of alfalfa a day – none of my horses get it free choice. My old mare colics too easy for that. He does however get grain twice daily and is doing fine on it so far,…
Gold Commander One
Went to see Goldie after work today. He is such a gentle horse. A tribute to Michelle’s training. He stands in cross ties, no problem. He likes the wash rack & bathes. Walked him around the perimeter of the outside arena, then let him off lead. He visited the horses in the adjacent paddocks, and…
Propensity for Boo Boos – Mom Considers Bubble Wrap
I hope that you had great Christmas and New Year’s celebrations! I have been slow to send updates since our December show because Cadence has been in and out of minor injuries. He has a way of getting more mystery injuries – no matter how many times we “Cadence-proof” his stall and the pastures, he finds a way. I should’ve known that he would be one of those mischievous ones from his former knee injury!
Rightfully Bragging on Bato Loco
I love Bata Loco! He is such a character. He LOVES jumps. He’ll cross creeks, but he’ll jump them too if I let him. He gets so fired up! We plan to go to the beach soon. That will be an adventure. I also will be taking some dressage lessons with him to see just what he can do in the arena… He is such a treat!
