Fame for a Day just isn’t enough – but Six Years…Now We’re Talkin’
Can you believe that Fame For a Day turned nine years old on April 8th? Where does the time go? I feel like I just purchased him from you. What an amazing boy! What an amazing journey! He’s like a fine wine as he just gets better with age!
Da’ Boyz Do Gymnastics and Dressage
I’m again enjoying this lovely weather! Da’ Boyz (Dakota Spirit & Chilletecaux) are coming along great! This past week and this week they graduated to gymnastics (three jumps on the one stride) and cantering simple lines. They both LOVE IT!! The dressage is coming too. Of course we all think the jumping is more fun…
Monarch’s Reign – One Month Update
Since Monarch’s former owners and his trainer are anxious to know how he’s doing, I thought I’d send a quick update on him (even though we talk about him almost every day!) I have to say that today was really amazing, both for me and for Monarch. We’ve been together just one month now, and…
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!
Pulling Shoes No Biggie for “Icy”
Just wanted to brag about Icy again. Yesterday we did a little round pen stuff, and he was very calm. I also pulled one of his front shoes since he lost the other one in the pasture. It takes me a lot longer to pull a shoe than it does for the farrier to do…
Mudbaths, Mayham, Whatever . . . Life is Good for this OTTB
Sorry it’s taken me so long to write, but the weather has been wretched and the only thing Outflankem, aka Bailey, (aka Mr. B ) has been doing is eating and taking mud baths! We got “Mr. B” so my husband could take a crack at some lower level eventing, and maybe some fox chasing.…
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.
Whozierhurry Sends “Hola’s” from Mexico
I wanted to touch base and say hello. I bought WHOZIERHURRY last year when I was living in Mexico. I sold him to a trainer there and he is doing great! I keep asking for pictures, but do not have any recent ones. I will keep trying. He is gorgeous, sound and quiet enough for…
My First Ride on Brat Maverick!
Even though all I did was walk on a lunge line I felt an amazing thrill. The most surprising thing was how calm and collected he was. Even though I had read about it on the website, there was a part of me that still finds it hard to believe. It was only after my ride was over that I thought about the fact that I had just ridden a former race horse. Oh my gosh, what a an amazing experience.
