Titania: Happy As a Clam in Virginia

Jun 19, 2010

I have good news about Titania aka “Ana”! She is fat and happy enjoying life up in Leesburg, VA. I went to visit her a few weeks ago, and she was happy as a clam! She is nice and round, and even had to be put on a diet! She is being taken out for clinics and, hopefully, her first show soon. Her owners are very happy with her, and she seems happy with them!

A Success Story

Jul 11, 2011

My wife has a degenerative brain disease that is ultimately terminal, and my son is home schooled and takes on tons of responsibility–way beyond his 13 years. I and my wife both had ridden for the better part of 30 years and had excellent training…but had abandoned our own personal riding when we had a child. After all—finances and time frequently just don’t stretch to cover children and pets like horses.

Stevie Loverboy continues to be an OTTB ambassador, always surpassing people’s expectations with his calm demeanor and affectionate disposition.

Just wanted to let you know that Wiseguy was absolutely incredible at the show this weekend! He created a lot of buzz! Two people asked me if he was for sale and I was much relieved to say no. I called the last person I sent a video to and let her know he was…

Nothing Special . . . Yeah Right!

Feb 17, 2012

I worry and don’t want to let her down by not doing stuff right and maybe mess her up and not justify the trust you and Dr Duffy put in me with her–but………..at the end of the day—the single only thing that really really matters….is how much she and I are into each other…how much we give and do for each other . . .

OTTB Behren’s Design moves to California

Jan 28, 2008

He is doing great. It has been raining here since Friday. It is horrible. I hope to have a dry week so I can get him out.  Yesterday his hind right leg blew up.  I am hoping that is just lack of getting to move around.  He seems to be sound on the leg.
