Thoroughbreds can do
Joe Bear Dapples Out
Hey Guys, Just wanted to send some new pics of Joe Bear from the weekend. I want to get some more of him dry so his dapples show more. They are all down his sides and over his hind quarters! A real dappled bay.
One Year Anniversary for OTTB Leader Board!
My Thoroughbred ex-race horse, Leader Board, has been such a blessing for me. My trainer said that even of we looked at 50 horses he couldn’t have found a better match than for me.
Why Ride in a Car when You can Ride a CarMAC?
Carmac is still doing great! I am continuing his lunging and the side reins and he is getting better and better everyday. I haven’t gotten any good pictures, as it’s hard to take pictures while lunging a horse at the same time, must work on my timing. Anyway my mother did come out one afternoon…
Punch is Sadly Offered For Sale
Elizabeth, I just wanted to give you an update on Chaz. We have sadly made the decision to sell him. College plans have changed and my parents cannot take care of him as well as my other horses. He has been progressing very well. His feet are completely barefoot and sound! He has been jumping…
Coastside Enjoys a Few Days Rest after Traveling
Coastside aka “Coast” arrived at his new home. He is currently relaxing in his stall and I figured I would let him take it easy for a few days. I do love him though he is a total sweetheart. He loves to have his face rubbed! Julia
Lovely Weather – Lovely Thoroughbreds!
This weather is so wonderful! The boyz (Chilletecaux and Dakota Spirit) have been doing so well. Nancy (the older Ms. Lane) came out to watch both horses go which is great for me given she is such a good ground person. She reminded me not to let Chille get me leading with my body, to keep open to help him stay slower. So easy without someone on the ground and she has such a good eye.
OTTB: Off-Track-Trail-Boss
Seeing Heart walking around out there like he’s been doing it all his life and loving it, it is simply impossible to believe this guy has ever been a race horse. Somewhere along the way to me he must have been confused with another horse 😉 But whoever he is, I’m keeping him… he’s just great! 🙂
Schooling Shows and New Digs for Cadence
In December we competed in a schooling show, which was very good. We made our First level debut with scores in the 60’s. In March, we rode in another show. We rode Training Four and First One and Two. Scores were not the greatest because we were having an off day.
