Everyday Offers a New Lesson for Avrispecial
Avri is putting weight on and looking good. He is doing well under saddle. We are still trail riding in the pasture and learning new things every day. He accepts my leg very well.
Trail Riding Off-the-Track Thoroughbred
We just got back in from the camping trip. We had a wonderful time! Maverick was absolutely the best! He got ridden six times! He munched on lots of new clover and loved all the attention, as always, since he was the BIG horse and would stick his head way out and stretch his neck way out from the stall. He’d nicker when he heard us stirring around the camp site.

Our Girl is Working in 3rd Gear
I have no intention of training anything but a fire breathing diva…..I just don’t think she realized it. She is truly magnificent…I have been waiting for the day when I could start to let her out again and have her understand the difference between race horse and riding horse…..to let her breathe just a bit of her fire again…..now we start….and to tell you the truth…..it has been a very very long time since I have been able to share a horse’s world with them like this.
