Time Well Spent – “Dox” Blossoms
Thanks for your comments on Doxology. I have to say I’ve put a lot of time into him. I’ve spent everyday with him since he arrived, building a strong bond and developing trust. I’ve taken sufficient time for him to recover fully from surgery after gelding, regaining weight and adjusting to his new life. Also,…
Fast Commander – Same Horse, New Look
Fast Commander has really put on weight, in a nice sport horse way and looks so good. He doesn’t look like a racehorse anymore! Stephanie Elizabeth’s Note: It sometimes takes a few months for an OTTB’s system to adjust to a new lifestyle and feeding program. They take on a totally different shape and with…
New Year, New Bit, New Attitude – Admiration Off on the Right Foot
I’ve been watching the site and meaning to send an update… just haven’t gotten around to it! Honestly there haven’t been any real milestones because we’ve been taking it easy since our last update.

Judging Dreams and Irish Morning Mist Cross Paths

Vilas County Jumps for Joy
Just wanted to quickly update Vilas training progress. He is doing awesome and I introduced him to his first jumps under saddle and I can tell you he loves it! This was his first time ever jumping barrels and the tree. We definitely have to improve his technique with a lot of gymnastics but the…

Update on Our “Kid”
Snowdance Kid was a horse for sale at Bits & Bytes Farm when he was purchased by Beth Hutchison in October of 2006. We are happy that after four years he is still enjoying cross-country jumping! We are proud of this pair! We look for lots more great Snowdance Kid Success Stories.
Red Hot To Handle Still in Her Winter Coat
I went out to the barn and took these at lunch. Ron told me that her winter coat was coming out and he didn’t lie. I was not quite expecting this though. A little elbow grease and medicated baths should take care of the problem though. I have not had time to start grooming because…
Heather’s Best After Six Years
Heather’s Best’s health has been perfect, he is still 100 percent sound, and the same slightly mischievous Heather lol! I get his hocks injected about once a year but that is it, and he still LOVES jumping!
