Thoroughbreds can do
Bubba – Bendy like Beckham!
Lots of things bend: a curvy road, a paperclip, Gumby – but not so much my Bubba! Until today… I ride Bubba three or four times a week but I don’t ride well or softly and he is often aggravated with me. He grits his jaw tightly and its nose up or nose tucked between…
Maximum Impact Clearly States his Position
Hey there I just wanted to give you a quick update on Max. He has settled in nicely with my other horses after he let them know “I am the boss here”. He is doing just great. He is too funny. Whenever I go out in the pasture he comes up to me and smells…
Bato Loco is Tops on his New Mom’s “Honor Roll”
Here are a few pictures of Loco in black tie… He is so dark now; we may start calling him “Tux”! He has put on a few pounds and has built some new muscles. Loco is absolutely wonderful to train. He tries so hard. He is using his hind end more and collects well for…
Imatexan A Year In (Photo) Review
Imatexan began the year as an unraced four year old Thoroughbred in race training. In ten months she has gone trail riding, camping, to dressage clinics, had jumping lessons and she has gone to two combined training schooling shows where she entered five classes – three dressage and two jumping classes and she won FIVE BLUE RIBBONS!
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…
Bubba Needs an Update!
“Bubba” mom is our Web mistress for our Success Stories. Just like the shoemaker’s children going barefoot – Bubba needs an update. Elizabeth took some photos of Bubba in his beautiful thick winter coat and mom Melanie in her new down vest. See them in Bubba’s Photo Gallery.
Voted Off: Off-the-Track in 2006 Update 2011
It’s been years since I sent you an update, but I thought you might like to know how Voted Off is doing. His primary job has been as my husband’s trail horse for the last 5 years. About six months ago, my 6 year old daughter started riding him too. You might remember a picture of her you posted on your web site on her rocking horse when she was 2. Well, she has swapped out the rocking horse for Voted Off.
My Home for a Covered Riding Ring!
Well all I have to say is I wish I had a covered arena!! Between the work and weather I have had a hard time with any consistency with “Mac” (Carmac). This being said I’ve decided to do what little I can on nice days that the footing is not horrible and just continue with…
Snow Days Mean Slow Days for Eleanor’s Groom
The horse (Eleanor’s Groom) is doing great, gaining weight and figuring out his place in the herd. No new bites for a couple of weeks now! He’s happy. My husband (the equine vet, specializing in dental) did a number on him. He had some caps that needed to be pulled and one weird tooth that…
