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.
As some of you know I was hoping to adopt this horse from Second Wind Adoption. 
I just received an e-mail from the director that he sustained a pasture injury the other day and is going to be under rehab for awhile. The vet says they don't expect it to effect his soundness, but I'm not sure I'm prepared to risk it. This is the second horse up for adoption that I have been serious about that got injured within days of my intended visit. It's the third horse that something has gone wrong with. Maybe I'm not supposed to have a horse of my own. Back to the wings to wait for the next beauty.
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.

Of Course you are meant to have a horse of your own Holly!!! You are an awsome person who has done much for many and that is always rewarded!!! -Showpony
I agree w/ the other poster, you will find the right horse. And please count your blessings for not getting mixed up w/ Crossed Sabers & the Second Wind Adoption Program. "Hobb's" was adopted out just 2 weeks ago to a NY person. I wont say much more on here because I don't feel it appropriate, so you may look here to see why: http://theicequeen.yuku.com/directory
This is to help others not become a victim. Feel free to contact me personally, & the pasture injury...I pray it's not as bad as Dodger's 5 1/2 -6 in wire cut around the pastern & the vet was never called for it. I know this because Dodger & Baby (another 1injured) were the reasons I quit working for her!
I loved the pic's from the show, everyone looks very happy!
