Thoroughbreds can do
Hollywood Vic Is In Hiding
After a few seconds, I hear the thunder of hooves behind me, I turn and there is my Hollywood galloping up towards me in the pasture behind me. I said, “THERE YOU ARE!” He looked at me, spun around and ran back up to the door of the barn (that leads to the pasture he was in ) and waited for me! Now how smart is that? He saw me walk by and came to tell me to come and get him! That just made my day, no my week, no my month!
Baileysontherocks – Rockin Update
It’s been a full year since we met at the hunter pace in Kingston! Where did the year go?!? It was great meeting you and the Bits & Bytes family and I hope we’ll see you again in 2009.
It’s been a fun past year with Bailey. Last February he went to our first “away” show . . .
“Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Carrot”. Communication – Learning to Understand Your Horse
I think I said yesterday that feeling through that bit, I could feel that Aly and I were talking to each other, and indeed we were, we both knew that each other were there, we both were having feelings, I was all excited and atwitter about being on my own horse for the first time, who wouldn’t be! And he was all busy keeping the girl that gives him peppermints and has been sweet to him so far safe. Today though, not only did we talk, we did something a lot better, we understood each other.
Quite an Event – Blue Ribbon for Joe Bear!
Poplar Place CT schooling show. We arrived and I put Joe in the stall and went to get his hay and buckets. When I got back he was calling out and sweating like I had deserted him for hours. My first thought was, “This is going to be a very bad day…” I took him…

Blind Friend Introduces Trail Riding to Little Silic
Little Silic (aka “Shaman”) LOVES going out on the trails with his friend “Rox”, who is incredible. It’s amazing that he has no eyes and is teaching “Shaman” not to be afraid of anything. My friend Lee, is the proud and humble owner of “Rox.” It has been quite a journey for both of them…
Putting the Pieces Together
Irish and I have decided to spend one more month training before we show. I’d rather him be 100% confident and so I’m taking it slow with him. He has learned so much and I am just now working on putting all the pieces together.
Aly’s Alpha Boy – Time Flys
Elizabeth, Sorry I haven’t kept in touch as often this month. The month flies by and I’m never finding enough time. I have 4 hours or school each day then go to the barn after and ride both the horses so I’m usually exhausted. Anyways, Aly is going great. I took a lesson with my…
OTTB Light Artillery has Gone Western and Ain’t Lookin’ Back
I’ve been home nearly a month, I can’t believe it! Most of the time home has been spent doing all the welcome home kinda gatherings. A lot of the other time has been very wet! This is good though because in a week the grass got waist high. I really wanted to get the pastures…
