Phil’s Courage Up for Bigger, Broader and Taller Challenges!

Nov 14, 2008

I just had to send a quick line to brag about Phil. Phil is clocking around a 3′ course with changes now and is completely bored. At a 3’3″ oxer (with a 3′ spread) he finally took interest and thought about the jump. Previously, anything under 3’3″ was not a challenge for him. I’m sure…

New Designs on Life for Behren’s Design

Feb 26, 2008

                  The gelding went ok. He looked amazing for the first five days and then got a slight infection. I got him on antibiotics right away and within five days he was looking good again. It is almost totally healed at this point. The rain is killing…

OTTB Outflankem aka “Ronnie” Changes Careers

Nov 15, 2008

The shipper arrived three hours early, and good thing because we had a heck of storm up here during the time he was supposed to get here! “Outflankem” got off the trailer like a pro, and stood like a perfect gentleman. He was in a brand new place, with the wind whipping, and he could’ve…

Call Another Taxi

Oct 27, 2010

Hi Elizabeth, I was planning to send you some pictures from Taxi’s dressage lesson but they didn’t make it.  Taxi refused to load. We have a 2 horse slant load extra tall and wide but she wasn’t so sure of it. Our dressage trainer was able to come over and help. He started by working…

Nov 29, 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.

Jul 5, 2010

Shelby’s Hill is a 2003, 16 hand Thoroughbred gelding. He is very pretty – a good guy. He could do dressage or eventing and trail riding.

Fuhrluck aka “Seven” Still Lucky in 2010!

May 24, 2010

It’s been a long time. I just wanted to share a couple of photos of Fuhrluck aka “Seven” with you. As you can see he’s looking great! I still regularly keep in contact with his new owner, Dayna and I see him whenever I’m back in Ohio. I can’t imagine a happier, more loved horse.

Riding Bareback in the Outback

Mar 18, 2010

Tuck’s St Aly one year later. I’ve been riding bareback about 1 out of 3 times I ride; Aly loves it, and it’s a good thing to do when I don’t have as much time to tack up. It does amazing things for my seat and helps my leg position immensely.
