Thoroughbreds can do
“Tru’ly Amazing” – “Marvin’s” Brother Arrives at His New Home
I had a group of friends with me tonight celebrating Tru Native’s arrival. Not ONE of them could believe he was a OTTB! This is one of the biggest Thoroughbreds I have ever seen.
Brett is a Handy Hunter
Hi Elizabeth, What a fantastic show, and what an idea. Ann Rusuck is an owner/breeder/trainer of TB racehorses who a few years ago got involved in rescue–much of her work done with Anna Ford of New Vocations. She has put together a show that is a showcase for these horses, as well as the most…
Jumping for Joy
Just wanted to let you know that Molly has started working with her trainer to
teach Antioch to jump! He is doing fabulous so far, very willing.
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.
Tillo – Race Horse to Trail Horse
Tillo is turning out to be an “old soul trail horse”…10,000 feet, he leads 4 other horses across a frozen stream…through chest high willows in a bog! I can’t believe it. He’s not so great in the ring yet but we’re having such a great fall I don’t want to go there yet.
Elizabeth’s Note: Check out the new Web site we have just created for Flying Horse Ranch. It is a great place to have an equestrian event or even a wedding or family reunion. Bring your horses and go trail riding and camp out. Check out the Flying Horse Ranch Web site and give Lydia a call to plan your visit to the ranch.
17 Hands on March 17th!
I wanted to let you know how great June (A June Affair) is doing. She’s about 17h now and getting good muscle and weight. We are at our 2nd horse show this weekend (and an A show) and she was Reserve Champion in the low hunters. She will be ready to move up soon and continues to be a joy!
Allegiant Arrives at Bits & Bytes Farm
Allegiant will be starting her new career at Bits & Bytes Farm while waiting for her family to finish their vacation.
Desensitizing Techniques for the 21st Century: Laptops & Kitty Cats
Also, for the record, as seems very fitting to me, since he is from Bits & Bytes Farm, Aly has been properly desensitized to laptops! The other night I took mine out there to work on homework a bit, and although I didn’t get much work done, I did get some done with Aly! When I sat down beside his stall and opened the laptop, boy did his nostrils flare!
Allegiant Loves Her Young Mom
Off-the-track Thoroughbred, Allegiant loves the attention of her young owner.
