Happy One Year Anniversary Missy & Loverboy!
It is hard to believe it has already been a year since Loverboy came into my life! I can still so clearly remember the first time I laid eyes on him, that sense of pure joy and wonder that I was actually realizing such a long-held…
Fast Commander Get the Blues at “A” Show
Fast Commander did three days of our local “A” show over the past 2 weekends. We competed in the Long Stirrup division to stay at 2 feet. He won two of the over fences classes, got a 4th in the flat, & had a variety of other ribbons along the way. The best thing is that he seems to enjoy being ridden & enjoy jumping.
Gentle Brave Knight Villain
Sixth Year Anniversary update for Knight Villain. He’s sound, whole, happy, fat, and loving his life as a full time trail buddy. He’s kind and gentle with everyone, loves to give “pony rides” to visiting kiddies, yet still turns it on for me out on the galloping track in true race horse fashion. I think he’ll never forget he’s a champion.
Positive Outcome to Anticipated “Irish Challenge”
Well it’s been a week and we “found” Irish hidden beneath his stubborn façade. My trainer rode him and I rode him a couple of times and finally yesterday we got a break through!

Brother Ron Settles In at Home
Brother Ron settled in so well at his new home. He is a nice paddock by himself for now so that he can have all the hay he wants, but also has his friends right on the other side of the fence. He let the other horses push him around, being the sweet boy he…
Mother Nature Helps with Dakota Spirit and Chilletecaux
Hey, I don’t do well with too much time on my hands… with a few lovely days my boys are ready for more. They are on track for a x-c school given they seem bored with small SJ at home – more dressage of course – but we have it ‘please let’s go play!’ Mother…
Chipawild in Hunter Training in Florida
If you go on You Tube there is a video if Chippa in FL. She is being ridden by Jaime Gibson (the Gibson’s are good friends of mine and all in the horse business) who is a very talented young professional after a successful junior career. It took a while to get her “right” but I think you will like the video.
