Adventures of the “Mighty Kwinn”

Nov 19, 2008

Thought I would quickly update you on Kwinn and his adventures! The good news is that the famotidine appears to be working. Everyone agrees that Kwinn appears to be filling out and generally looking better. His new supplement (probiotic with antacid properties) arrived and he’s been started on that too. YEAH!!! But, my guy does…

Hunter, Jumper? OTTB Does Dressage!

Jun 29, 2009

Classical dressage is the basis for all riding disciplines. It is all about learning to communicate with your horse so that there is a harmony and balance. I like to call it, “Meditation in Motion”.

It’s wonderful to be home! The weather has been amazing. The mornings are chilly. The days clear blue skies! Oh wow! Horse weather if I’ve ever felt horse weather!

Just About Perfect – Brat Maverick

Dec 1, 2009

Maverick was relaxed all day. He is no longer pacing the fence but instead ventures out to join the herd. Everyone is commenting on how beautiful he is of course, and add to that that he is as sweet as can be, I would say he is just about perfect.

My Home for a Covered Riding Ring!

Dec 16, 2008

Well all I have to say is I wish I had a covered arena!! Between the work and weather I have had a hard time with any consistency with “Mac” (Carmac). This being said I’ve decided to do what little I can on nice days that the footing is not horrible and just continue with…
