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.

Busy Weekend

I got quite a bit of training time in this weekend.

Jake-- was back under saddle. He is starting to respond to the bit solidly at a walk, but bolted with me at when I asked for the trot. He then settled back down and would give me short spurts of trotting as long as it was in a straight line.

Sierra--I had a working student on her to see how she would respond to a new rider. She did exceptionally well. We'll continue to work her. More coming.

Turner--The chiropractor was here to adjust him for what we hope is the final time. She signed off on his back as being completley normal. We will flex him out midweek to see how his recovery is going.

I did get some trail riding in both days. Even Dan got out with me on SAturday. Gotta love the woods.

Sunday was quieter. But, I did go out with a client to look at a potential horse. I think we're going to pass on the horse. She was a trained barrel racer, and will take a lot of retraining before she is ready to jump.

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.
