Aly’s Alpha Boy – Time Flys
Elizabeth, Sorry I haven’t kept in touch as often this month. The month flies by and I’m never finding enough time. I have 4 hours or school each day then go to the barn after and ride both the horses so I’m usually exhausted. Anyways, Aly is going great. I took a lesson with my…

Mr. Inquisitive – “Hey, They Never Did This at the Track”
“Qu” (Mr. Inquisitive) was so good today. He put up with us rearranging antlers, trying on ones that had jingle bells but wouldn’t stand up. He was probably getting a little annoyed! He’s out with my older gelding tonight and they are getting along well. Suzie

Happy Birthday Fast Commander!
I am attaching some recent pictures of Fast Commander out in my front pasture & on his first real trail ride this past weekend. It was beautiful weather, so there were lots of people walking dogs or riding bikes on these trails – it’s a public park. He looked at lots of things at first, but then settled nicely. He even crossed the stream twice without hesitation.

Barbo is doing great! I think he really likes it at the new farm. He has about 20 acres to run around on and a lake as well….which I know he has been wading in on the warmer days because he comes in all dirty from his belly down…lol. There are several horses that he hangs out with…I don’t think he is the boss though, but does have buddies.

OTTB Gold’s Anatomy Excels at Natural Horsemanship Clinic
This past weekend Laura’s Pony Club had a three day Karen Scholl natural horsemanship clinic and Laura took Goldie. The horses had to wear hula hoops and balloons, walk over tarps and have them pulled over the top of their heads. They eventually were riding around with a halter and lead rope with a huge moving pink balloon blowing around in the middle of the arena while Karen cracked a whip. Goldie was a star!!! No one could believe he is a five year old Thoroughbred off the track, he handled everything so well.
