Thoroughbreds can do
Runaway Groom – I think not.
I’m forwarding some pics my daughter took of me and my new groom. I’m having a wonderful time with him. We had our first canter today! He is very quiet (hasn’t done anything stupid at all!), smart and willing. In fact, I’m reading the book “Beyond the Track” and he doesn’t fit in at all!…
Once a Steeplechaser, Always a Steeplechaser
Heather’s Best is great. I gave him about a month off this winter and we have been getting back to work this week. I had planned to lunge him for a few days just to get him back in the mode, but he was so quiet and good, that I just rode him lightly instead.…
Win For Morgan Putting on the Weight
Fitch (Win For Morgan) is up to roughly 1100-1115lbs and gaining after moving to a new barn where he can finally receive what he needs. He’s still a darling to work with and ride . . .

Kwinn let out one of those contented snorts all over Adam, then just rested his head across his shoulder! I laughed so hard at the sight of my non-horsey husband bonding with our big guy!!
Brett is at his Best when the Light Bulb goes on
Brett is coming along on schedule, and without even a hiccup. We’ve been trotting courses up until the end of July, when we began trotting in and cantering out. It took him a few lessons to understand to come back/whoa down a line but don’t confuse that with getting strong. He would canter softly, loose…
Fast Commander Get the Blues at “A” Show
Fast Commander did three days of our local “A” show over the past 2 weekends. We competed in the Long Stirrup division to stay at 2 feet. He won two of the over fences classes, got a 4th in the flat, & had a variety of other ribbons along the way. The best thing is that he seems to enjoy being ridden & enjoy jumping.
Attention Maine Residents – the “Irish” has Arrived
Irish has made it safe and sound to Maine! Everyone was in such awe of his size! He came off the trailer so quietly, went into his stall and immediately drank water and ate hay. Very relaxed. We turned him out and he just walked around. I figured he would need to run and burn some energy, but…
