Antioch – Three Week Update
Molly’s riding skills have expanded while riding her OTTB! She and Antioch are building a wonderful relationship and learning to speak the same language. Her trainer is really helping us and I think is becoming quite fond of him too! He is the sweetest horse we have ever owned!
Just Three Weeks Off-the-Track, Marvin is Fabulous!
Marvin is fabulous! Marvin is so adorable that I never want to take a step back to snap a picture. I can ride him up to a gate and he’ll stand quietly while I unlatch it, and doesn’t mind helping me close it after we’ve passed through it. Any day of the week, I can hop on him and walk/trot/canter anywhere I want to go without a care in the world.

I put a saddle on her along with the bridle and surcingle today to work—she really paid attn to that…she jazzed right up once it was on–
Coastside Loves Being Outside!
I moved Coast to a new farm. He needed three-board fencing in the pasture and I decided to move him to a new farm. His stall is 20×24 (big) with lots of fresh shavings! He gets daily turn out with another OTTB. He started training this month. My trainer says he will be able to…
Scottish Water Horse?
I was just thinking about you this week and about needing to send you an update on A June Affair. Although, I have tweaked her barn name a bit as I thought she needed something a little less plain than June. I call her Kelpie or Kelpie June. Do you know what a Kelpie is? It’s from the Scottish legend of the water horse.
Walls, Coops and Panels Oh My . . .
Wolfie moved up to 2?3? division this time around…. which should have been easy peezy as we were doing 2?3? – 2?6? at home….
However what I did NOT know was that at the 2?3? they bring out the walls, coops, panels and every other sort of imaginable solid, horse eating fence!
