A June Affair Shows Talent in Alpharetta
I was showing June in Alpharetta this past weekend. June is doing great and getting ribbons in the Adults at “A” shows. She is around 17 hands now and is filling out to be absolutely gorgeous! I have enjoyed her so much and she really seems to be liking her new job as a show hunter.
Taken Chances – Confident at his New Home
I wanted to let you know Chances is doing great. I just love him. He has put on weight and is building his top line. We’ve started some jumping and he loves it. He trots right over everything the first time, even scary flowers and panels. He is even cantering down hills outside. He has…

OTTB A Little Bit Foolish – Isn’t at All!
I did not get “Fool”, A Little Bit Foolish, from Bits & Bytes Farm, but I still feel like you’re a part of his life. If it weren’t for your website’s success stories, I probably would not have pursued purchasing an OTTB. “Fool” and I went to our very first show earlier in the year.…
