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.

If the boot fits


The question is does Paula know where that boot is supposed to go. It's been a busy few days all with little stuff here and there. Monday I had a meeting regarding buying the farm in addition to all the regular lessons, and camp. It's ridiculously hot here, so we only have one camper this week. Paula and Nicole have worked very hard to try and make it as much fun as they can for her. Yesterday I was at Rein and Shine meeting with Stuart. I was sharing some of the great things I picked up at the Expo.
Then today was a bit more of a play day. Nicole is in charge of camp the rest of the week, as Paula had to carry the bulk last week. Paula, Amelia, and I ran down to Tack-n-Tow to pick some stuff up. We then stopped at Meeting Street on the way home. Paula found some of the largest bell boots I've ever seen. I guess warmbloods are getting bigger than ever. I just want to know if something with feet that large can actually track up far enough to justify bells.
When we got home Paula had a lesson on Amador. We continued to work on finding the distances and pace setting. We also added a breast collar and changed out his bit finally. Yeah what a "Happy Mouth" Amador must have now. We are right on track for Amador's debut at Clemson in August. Pics to come. (Wonder how many times I say that)

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.
