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.

Dust bowl 2008




Man is the wind blowing today. I miss the midwest where we can water an arena to keep the dust down. It's crazy out there today. Here are some pics of the midday lesson today.


We're gearing up for the Pinto show next weekend. Man are we taking a crew. If I'd been more on the ball we could have reserved and filled an entire barn aisle. Instead we are going to have the majority of our normal aisle and a couple of stalls the aisle behind us. We will have to put tack trunks in the aisles this time in front of the stalls. Even with two tack stalls we're going to be crowded.


We're taking a total of 9 horses and 13 riders. It was going to be 14 riders, but someone realized this week they have a schedule conflict. Miss Beth and I will be making 2 trailer trips to get all of the horses across town. We'll take the difficult loaders down first to be sure we have plenty of time to load them. This will be my daughters first show. She'll be showing leadline on the new pony, Pickels.


Miss Diane is planning a menu so everyone will be sure to eat well. We're having everyone pitch in a few dollars to help defer the costs.

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.
