Bato Loco no es loco. . .
Bato Loco aka “Tux” is really getting the idea of what collection is all about. Yeah! Circles are MUCH easier! He still tries to buck sometimes when we canter- No back pain, just a little mischief. I am learning the warning signs and am practicing some distraction techniques to keep him focused on me instead…

Construction’s Checklist: Canters (check), Crosses Creeks (check), Coups (check) and Carrots (check, check, check….)
“Gus” (Construction) is so incredibly happy with his new career and new home at Bits & Bytes Farm. His personality comes out more and more everyday and I absolutely adore him. He has recently perfected the art of rolling (every single inch of his body gets covered with dust) and decided he has a LOVE…
Who’s Trainin’ Who?
I just wanted to tell you that Vilas County is doing great. His dressage training improved a lot over the last weeks, but we are still miles away from competing. I attached you a free jumping video that I took yesterday. He really shows some good potential for becoming a great jumper. That was only…

Callie’s Wright at Home
Callie’s Wright arrived safe this afternoon! I called Michelle to let her know that she arrived in perfect shape and that I really like her, she seemed very pleased! She told me to keep her updated and to call her if I came across any questions as I started working with her! The company that transported her (Tapp) was wonderful! They were very nice and professional to work with and were reasonable with their rate!
Admiration Not Lost on His Mom During Hiatus
Just wanted to send you a little update on Admiration aka “Huey”. It’s been about a year since I got him, and I have to say that we’re not where I would have liked us to be. That’s certainly not his fault, and I’m not sure that it’s really mine either… just circumstances. This summer…
Better Be There is Better in Texas
Hey, well “Be There” is home in Texas today. We picked him up in Abilene this afternoon. Here is one picture of him so far.
Antioch and Molly Canter for the First Time!
Molly cantered Antioch for the first time tonight and he was fabulous! He learns everything so fast. He now longes with voice commands and goes at the walk and trot over poles and now she can work on his canter leads! We just love him. I hope all is well at Bits & Bytes Farm.
