Thoroughbreds can do
Painted Black is “Bella”
Bella (Painted Black) is doing very well! She is a very congenial filly….takes things in stride and very matter of fact. She has put on weight nicely and her coat has a great sheen to it. Just doing some stretching and general handling….she is my baby.
Becoming Familiar with a Friendly Ghost
Familiar Ghost is doing very well. What a gentleman! He’s become a pet of the barn and is just the most terrific horse on the planet. I’ll email you more about his progress as well as training questions I have in a later email.
Riding Bareback in the Outback
Tuck’s St Aly one year later. I’ve been riding bareback about 1 out of 3 times I ride; Aly loves it, and it’s a good thing to do when I don’t have as much time to tack up. It does amazing things for my seat and helps my leg position immensely.
Just Call Me Bubba
I can hardly breath watching Elizabeth and Barry drive the horse trailer toward the barn. I’m certain I held my breath for five minutes, until Elizabeth opened the side door and I crawled in to see my new horse, Lynn’s Vision. And there he is, calmly looking right back.

First Ride on Icy went Very Very Nicey
Just wanted to let you know that Georgia had her first ride on Icy last Friday. She had not ridden in a while because of the situation with her previous horses, so she was a little nervous. He was so…
Mr. Boston is OK in Oklahoma
Mr.Boston is fabulous!!!! Elizabeth didn’t want to go back to school!! She said that he would go and live in the dorm with her! We can’t wait to see what she does with him. For day 2 of riding him in our arena, they both look fantastic!
A Little Weight Gain Needed – No Objections from Little Silic
“Shaman” and I are doing great. He has gained some much needed weight, and he has actually been deemed “fat” by my vet since these pictures were taken. All I can say is that I love him and I cannot imagine ever parting with him! Barbara

My kids have renamed Manager Boire “Ramone”. He has settled in fine and has gone out on few rides with no trouble.
