Thoroughbreds can do
Callie’s Wright at Home
Callie’s Wright arrived safe this afternoon! I called Michelle to let her know that she arrived in perfect shape and that I really like her, she seemed very pleased! She told me to keep her updated and to call her if I came across any questions as I started working with her! The company that transported her (Tapp) was wonderful! They were very nice and professional to work with and were reasonable with their rate!
Votive Celebrates Four – Happy, Healthy and With a Home
Votive has officially turned four on April 8th. She is doing wonderful and enjoying no snow and mud. She has had her first official “spring” haircut to get her back to her beautiful self. We have done a little work under saddle but awaiting for some dry ground. She is completely spoiled and loving the…
Monarch’s Reign – One Month Update
Since Monarch’s former owners and his trainer are anxious to know how he’s doing, I thought I’d send a quick update on him (even though we talk about him almost every day!) I have to say that today was really amazing, both for me and for Monarch. We’ve been together just one month now, and…
Team “Splash Protect” Flourishing After First Year Together
Here is Splash Protect’s, “Finnegan’s”, long overdue success story. Well it’s been more than a year since I began my OTTB adventure. I must say that I am totally confident that I made the right decision, despite a lot of doubt in the beginning. We have been through some rough times, all of which was…
Taken Chances Takes Third on First Test
Chance is doing great. I am just thrilled with him. He went to his first combined test this past weekend at Full Gallop Farm in Aiken, SC and was very good. He ended up third in the amoeba division. He is jumping bigger at home but I didn’t want to overwhelm him at his first…
Atlantic Ridge is Great
Hi, I rode Ridge again today. He is great. Really nice horse. I am really enjoying him! I attached a picture of us. I am going to do more pics on the weekend. The pics we took on Sunday are terrible. Salisa
Austin’s Wolf – Clean Again!
Hi Elizabeth, Here are some photos from the last show. My trainer’s daughter was getting ready for her first show on the requisite white pony… she won 2 blues! Some interesting shots of Wolfie….. ‘dynamic’ I think was how Josh described them… He was very comfortable over a little oxer warming up…. You can probably…
Home Sweet Home for Dixon’s Chief
Dixons Chief arrived about 10pm last night. He is a cutie! His pictures did not due him justice! Where I have my boys at there is a very narrow one-lane road that leads to the barn, so I had the shipper…
Bubba – Bendy like Beckham!
Lots of things bend: a curvy road, a paperclip, Gumby – but not so much my Bubba! Until today… I ride Bubba three or four times a week but I don’t ride well or softly and he is often aggravated with me. He grits his jaw tightly and its nose up or nose tucked between…
