Thoroughbreds can do
Hollywood Vic – SOLD! February 2008
SOLD! Congratulations Cheri Jackson of Woodstock, Georgia! Here was his Prospect Horse FOR SALE information: Hollywood Vic was one of our 25 Special Horses. He was purchased by our favorite trainer to learn how to become a racehorse. He was too laid back and slow so he was offered for sale to a “forever home”.…
Helmet – check, Phone – check, Brakes – check, Seatbelt?
December was full of new experiences for Tux (aka Bato Loco) and me. We went on our first field trip to another farm to ride. He loaded beautifully; however, he whinnied the entire drive. I wonder if he thought I was sending him back to the track! We were both nervous, but I think we…
Coastside’s First Ride – New Mom Full of Pride
I rode Coast today and was pleasantly surprised! I lunged him first then mounted him in the round pen and he was so patient! He stood for me to mount him and I actually had to work at getting him going. He is listening fairly well to both leg and vocal cues. I trusted him…
Doxology Begins his New Career
Just getting back to you with some pictures. As I was saying, Dox is a very sweet boy and is really responding to the love and attention he’s getting. I have a trainer helping me who has rehabilitated two Thoroughbreds of her own. Dox is willing, very smart and surprisingly calm for a four y/o…
S.R. King of Queens . . . and Tears
Hi Elizabeth, Oh my gosh, I am in tears looking at the before and after pictures of that sweet boy. This is so, so upsetting to me. As luck would have it, Noah came down to my room because he’d had a bad dream and saw me crying. I didn’t click off the picture soon…
Shamuuu Makes a New Friend
Just wanted you to know that Shamuuu arrived in fine shape. He was quiet and happy when he got off the trailer even though he’d been on for a long time. I let him hang out in his stall awhile on solid ground, gave him…
Proceeding Slowly is a Positive Experience for Carmac
I still have not sat on Carmac yet. I am taking things slow and trying to do this correctly. I started lunging him in side reins this weekend so that he can get used to contact and he is doing great! I have him doing transitions and even some stretching on the lunge line. I…
Desensitizing Techniques for the 21st Century: Laptops & Kitty Cats
Also, for the record, as seems very fitting to me, since he is from Bits & Bytes Farm, Aly has been properly desensitized to laptops! The other night I took mine out there to work on homework a bit, and although I didn’t get much work done, I did get some done with Aly! When I sat down beside his stall and opened the laptop, boy did his nostrils flare!
Cherish the Groom – from Racing Horses to Racing Barrels
Please remove my horse FOR SALE, Cherish the Groom, from your website. She is currently in training for barrel racing. We will see how she does. She turns fast, runs fast and is very bright so who knows. Thanks for putting her on your website. I did get two people who responded to her pictures…
