Thoroughbreds can do
Wolfie Moves Up to 3′
Former race horse Austin’s Wolf is proving that off-the-track Thoroughbreds can compete and win on the “A” Show circuit.
Maverick on the Move!
His ground manners and patience are all improving. He’s been taught to be hobbled. I only did this because he was getting to be such a handful camping and on big trail rides, I feared for his saftey and didn’t trust him not to jump to get with the herds. He struggled some, but quickly learned to calm himself. The Sunday afternoon following the Saturday that he was first hobbled it actually paid off in an unexpected way.
Sec Cat – “Cat Napping with the Chickens”
Sec Cat aka “Lexington” aka “Lex” has started to settle in to his new home. He has a very sweet nature. He can bend and flex (even to the right). As long as his brain is busy working, he doesn’t spook at all the new things around. Today was a true challenge. I turned the…

Clever “Casper” Invents New Game – Crash through the Rails
“Casper” (Familiar Ghost) is doing very well. He’s slowly coming into frame and getting rounder. I’ve jumped him over small stuff, little x’s, and he really thinks about things. I can almost HEAR him thinking, “why jump over this stuff? I can go around it much more easily.” But he’s honest and tries, so I have no complaints! We…
Slower Thoroughbreds and “Ghosts” to the Right Please
Rode Familiar Ghost for the first time today. He’s absolutely wonderful. Taking it slow, slow, slow. Will be emailing you for advice. Thank you again–so very much.
The Dr. Checks In – Dr. Kenny Winn That Is
Kwinn (Dr. Kenny Winn)has done so well at his new barn. The change to a smaller, quieter barn has done wonders for him. Funny thing is Kwinn will adjust to just about any horse. If they like to play, he’s right there for the fun. If they want to just kick back and relax, he’ll do the same thing. I also think that as more time goes by with him being off the track, we are seeing different aspects of his personality come out. He’s still quite sweet, but he can be a character at times. He’s learned to pull his extra blanket off the rack and toss it across the barn floor.
Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks – You Are Never Too Old For a Lesson
I am finally sitting down to write a long overdue update about Loverboy…I say overdue because we have been so productive and had so many great moments in the last few months that I don’t know where to begin! Due to a run of sick kids, rain, and wicked cold weather, I actually suffered through a…
Midtown Manhattan – Growing in Size and Confidence
Just wanted to give you an update on Mattie. She is doing great and she’s grown two inches already. When she first came to us she was 15.1 and now she’s 15.3! I love her so much, although she’s only three and a half now, her favorite thing to do is go on trail rides.…
