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.

Migraine, graine go away

I am on day two of a migraine. I cancelled all of yesterday's lessons. I haven't decided what I'm doing about today yet. Dorothy is coming to get me so I can try and get something for this.

Some of you are probably wondering what happened with the show this past weekend. Well it was cancelled. There has been an outbreak of strangles and the registration was very low. Strangles is the equine response to the streptococus bacteria. It spreads like wild fire. It's not overly prevalent in this area, so a lot of farms do not vaccinate for it. It was brought in by a horse from up north.

The next show is still scheduled for May 10th and 11th at Mullet hall.

This coming weekend some of us are going to neighboring One Tempi farm to school cross country. I'll be sure to post some pictures, and maybe video next week.

For now I'm off to the world of heavy pain killers and my pillow.

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.
