Thoroughbreds can do
“Woody” aka “Blind Date” is Wonderful!
“Woody” is absolutely wonderful. We couldn’t love him more. He is very very handsome and he went to his first ‘AA’ show several weeks ago and did wonderfully. He placed 5th in one of his over fences in the Baby Greens and couldn’t have looked better or been more confident.
Irish Loves to Jump!
Irish is doing well and looks great. His dapples are better then ever.
I will try to send you a video of one of our jumping lessons soon. He is turning into a real jumper. You would be impressed at how well he can move in and out of the jumps. Irish also has a girlfriend named Princess. It’s a little mini. It’s so cute!
Father, Son Bonding

Becoming Familiar with a Friendly Ghost
Familiar Ghost is doing very well. What a gentleman! He’s become a pet of the barn and is just the most terrific horse on the planet. I’ll email you more about his progress as well as training questions I have in a later email.
Spreading the Word About OTTBS
Just wanted to send an update of my OTTB talk with the kindergarten class. First, I just have to say that kids are a great audience! They really soak it all in. Noah and I brought pictures of Kwinn (Dr. Kenny Winn) and I managed (with tech assistance) to show the kids your website (including the success stories). I had printed out Noah’s story from the mission page and printed out a picture of Kwinn (prospect page) as a handout for the kids. They really loved that! Noah was so proud to hand his story out to his friends!

Pulling One Over on Patrick
It was a real eye opening first day…Patrick as it turns out has a pretty good eye for a horse…we did do the fake owner thing to him and he bought it hook line and sinker..but while he and I were out with Game this morning watching her in turnout, he commented that “you know, this horse looks a lot like that Great Game horse on the Bits and Bytes site”…I had to look real close to see if somehow he had tumbled to my prank—but he hadn’t—just had a good eye for the horse.
