SOLD! Congratulations Tracy Sanderson of Columbia, South Carolina! I just wanted to drop a quick note and tell you that Hotzie aka “Red Hot to Handle” is finally home. I finally decided to drive to Kentucky and pick her up myself. She is one…
“Dante’s” First Show – Poise Impresses Mom
I just got back from Florida with the horses. Lover’s Quarrel (aka “Dante”) was awesome down there. The Ocala Winter II Horse Trials was his first event ever. We put him in at Beginner Novice since we hadn’t even been able to school a cross country course. Three days before the event we took him to Longwood…
Hunter, Jumper? OTTB Does Dressage!
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”. Jumping should be just dressage over fences rather than the yanking and pulling that you see from so many jumper riders.

Hounds Under Foot . . . No Problem for This OTTB
I took Rap foxhunting for his first time and my wife got to experience mounted foxhunting for her first time, and they both did great! We started out in the back and as the day wore on moved closer to the front, Rap was completely unphased by all the activity going on, including hounds running literally under his feet.

I LOVE THIS HORSE!! 🙂 Molly
Genuinely Happy
I was just checking in and giving you an update on Genuine Draft. We have grown to love this big guy. He is my mom and sister’s barn favorite! He is so sweet and loves people so much! If I am in the barn he would rather be inside with me than turned out in the field. His training has progressed significantly in the last few weeks! He is jumping around small courses and is doing great. I have attatched a few pictures of him in action.
Galloping on the Beach or Riding Like the Wind
Maverick (Light Artillery) and I have been unstoppable over the last year and a half! We have sorted cows, stormed over the hill country terrains, rode the flat ranch lands, and one of our most favorite adventures now is beach riding! We do a lot of high demand up beach riding, but I’d have to say our most meaningful times are spent either bareback under a blanket of stars reins loose over his neck walking a dirt road solo or spent just out in the pasture.
