We are a family oriented farm that lives life together. This is a diary of our lives together, and the ramblings of me, the trainer.

If you're in the Charleston area we'd love to meet you.

Down and Out

It has been a rough few days here on the farm. I started with a head cold/sinus infection on Friday. It has been building all weekend, and I officially am on antibiotics today. The worst is the ear infection. It has my balance totally off, so no riding for the next couple of days. I have cancelled lessons for tonight.

We did manage to get the new horse; Tansey for Nicole last night. She was a dream to load and trailer. No stopping, no kicking, nothing. It was a very long trip as I was pounding the fluids trying to keep hydrated. She waited patiently at each stop for us to get back in the truck, and head on down to her new adventure. She unloaded quietly as could be, with very little concern for her new surroundings. She just took it all in stride. She did have a small love pat for Nicole as she stomped on her little toe as soon as they got into the barn. But otherwise they are a match made in heaven. Hopefully, Nicole will feel up to riding her today. We are planning to take her to the show this weekend.

Well I can feel the Sudafed kicking in, so I'm off to take a nap.

Shiloh's Tall Tale aka. Shoalih's Tale

Showing off my baby

The above slide show is pictures I've managed to accumulate of my pride and joy...Shiloh. These are all pictures I've found of him on the web. They start with him as a yearling at the Saratoga sale and go up through his winning at the race track. You will find more pictures of him in the bottom slide show at the Clemson show with one of my students aboard back in Dec. 2007. Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures of myself showing him in the near future.

You'll notice a couple of the pictures are during his time at Canter. Please check out their website at http://www.canterusa.org/ohio They are running on very hard times right now and every penny people can send their way is greatly appreciated by the horses. If everyone who checks our blog regularly could send just $5 they could feed a horse for a month.
