Thoroughbreds can do

Popular One Has People!

Jan 16, 2009

We received the papers on Moose. Impressive. I wanted to know his birthdate and now I know. Thanks for giving the trainer’s son our number so he can see Moose when his family comes down in April. We are cold here but Moose has a thick winter coat and a blanket.

Antioch Arrives in Arizona

Mar 25, 2010

Antioch arrived late last night! He is gorgeous even if he is thin and woolly! He began eating hay and found the automatic waterer right away. We are heading over there in a few minutes to try some beet pulp. We will take some pictures when we get there!

Wolfie Goes to Wellington!

Apr 8, 2009

It was our first time there and Wolfie continues to get better as he gains more experience. This was another sleep away weekend beginning Friday afternoon with schooling. Saturday was Hunter classes in the Adult Amateur classes and we placed in two of our classes with a 6th and a 4th. I am pleased as we continued to improve through the day. Sunday was Adult Equitation day and we really settled and won two seconds, a third and a fifth. We are getting much better at finding and keeping our jumping pace and hitting the proscribed number of strides.

Rap It Up – Cuts Up at His New Home

And boy did he romp! We just missed snapping a pic of him when all fours were LITERALLY 3 feet off the ground!
