Eleanor’s Groom Well Balanced & Athletic
Hi Elizabeth – Yes, I just had to say “thanks” to Becky for helping me get the Eleanor’s Groom (plus I’d been in the file for the brand inspector and ran across her #!!). “Jack” is doing great…he is a teenager so I have to stay on top of things (no pun intended) but he…
September 16 – New Success Stories!
Read the latest Off-the-Track Success Stories.
Reign Day Has a Quiet Rainy Day
I have to say, I’m pretty sure that Reign Day is not very impressed with the climate here in Massachusetts so far–today was overcast and dreary and it rained on and off. He had a very laid-back, quiet, “settle-in” day. I played with him in the aisle, gave him a good long groom, did his carrot stretches and a bit of backing up.
“Bubba” goes Commando
“Bubba” (Lynn’s Vision) and I tried to ride with a hackamore today. We decided to try going bitless. His new teeth are making his mouth a little sore and he hasn’t learned yet to put down his head and my hands are not very soft. So when we ride his nose is up and he’s…
“Loverboy” Likes Swimming with the Ladies
Off-the-track Thoroughbred Stevie Loverboy likes trail riding and swimming in the lake with the girls.
“Qu” was a Good Boy This Christmas!

“Marvin’s” First Ride – Me Tru(ly) Wonderful
I am totally, completely, crazily in love with Me Tru (aka Marvin). He is everything that Becky said he was…and so much more.
There’s a “Bear” in my Backyard!
Got Um Smoke Um aka Bear enjoying a leisurely college lifestyle We are back at college and Smokey is enjoying a pretty easy life right now, not showing or anything, just too busy this senior year. I’m teaching organic chemistry lab and staying busy with lots of upper-level classes, ugh. Bear is so incredibly sweet;…
Cortableau Gets a Mom!
Cortableau spent a few days of well earned R&R at the Bits & Bytes Farm “Spa” where he received laser treatments, stretching exercises and lunging. He learned to eat grass and run free again! And he chilled with the other ex-racers on the farm who, we’re sure, told him that his racing days were over. Stevie Loverboy chatted with “Bleau” over the fence, “There’s no track here. These people are nice.” By the time his new mom Laura arrived on Friday he was feeling good and ready to meet his new family.
