Admiration is All About Being a Sport Horse
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for the advice about Huey’s weight gain issues. He’s starting to put on some more weight; he’s still a little ribby but he’s looking thicker through the barrel. I added flax to his feed and have just been making sure he always has good quality…
OTTB Saxon Warrior Arrives Home Safely!
Saxon Warrior arrived savely at the farm and is enjoying his small pasture turnout. He was immediately quiet on the pasture and never started running. He is a very sweet boy with a great personality, and he really likes people and other horses!…
Gold Charm
Gold Commander One is the barn charmer. Everyone, despite themselves, loves this big guy. Frankly, he puts the warmbloods to shame with his good mind and pleasant manners. He enjoys his work, the attention, and being out in the ring with other horses. He also likes to watch other lessons, just like Becky said he watched other horses at the track exercise in the morning.

Shelby’s Hill Competes in USEA Horse Trials
“Ping” came 3rd in Beginner Novice at UNH’s USEA horse trials.
First Ride for Cortableau
I rode Cor (obviously short for Cortableau and also means “heart” in Latin) yesterday. He was so good. We just walked and trotted in the round pen.
Da’Boyz First Horse Show
I took Dakota Spirit and Chilletecaux to a schooling show at Ashland Farm. They were so good. First time in the horse show atmosphere had them big eyed and on their toes. Even laid back Dakota got an extra burst of energy! We did two show jump classes each as I didn’t want to over do it the first time away from home jumping.
