Thoroughbreds can do
Wolfie Goes to Sleep Away Camp!
Today (Sunday) we did basically the same set of classes – but both of us were tired. We placed 6th again in one OF class, 3rd in the US (again about 12 in there) and …. on a lark I went into the flat equitation class to give him more flat class experience since we need more seasoning there and we won! I will not tell you how long it has been since I did an equitation class….!
“Max” Needs a Little Reminder from Time to Time
A quick update on “Max” (Maximum Impact). He is doing well and is putting on some weight again. I tell you what – that “girlfriend” is about to drive us nuts because she goes into season and he goes batty because that is his lady…no other horse can get near her. And she is just…
Red Hot to Handle is “Hotzie” to Trotzie
I wanted to give you a quick update on “Hotzie”. She is doing really well. I have had been dealing with a fungal infection in her eye for about two months. She has been an angel about the treatments though (sometimes up to three times each day). I have not been able to work her…
Hey Dude – Don’t I Know You from Somewhere?
I am amazed at the intelligence of Thoroughbreds and in particular, my little Bubba. We went to the ring to ride and there was a spotted horse trotting around at the far end. Bubba couldn’t take his eyes off this horse. He kept angling to get closer and twisting to keep his eye on this fancy fella.

Colorful Weekend for OTTB Austin’s Wolf
OTTB Austin’s Wolf and Laurie do well at a recent weekend horse show.
LOVE IS – When Your New Horse (“Kwinn”) Knows You’re Mom!
“Kwinn” (aka Dr.Canhewin) was funny tonight when I went to see him. I stopped by after work as I do every evening. The all laugh at me because I wear my office clothes to the barn and into the stall with “Kwinn”. Anyway, he saw my car pull in and apparently was fussing in his…
Punch is a Knock Out!
We rode him for the first time the third day he was here and he was great! He’s very calm about everything and we walked and trotted around for a while. Yesterday he went on his first trail ride with our other gelding around our property and he really enjoyed it.
