Tia Update — Feb 10, 2011

From Megan: Hello everyone–sorry I’m not as good at keeping up with posts here as I should be. I wanted to share a quick update on Sasha. She had about a year off and back in September we started into work. Once we got back to full work in December (including…
Baxter Update — Feb. 5, 2011
It’s been a while since we have given a Baxter update. Baxter is a tough nut to crack, he’s clearly got a strong distrust of people and shows clear signs of being abused. However, he’s also retained a lot of his stallion-like behaviors from being gelded late in life…
Sinatra Update — 1/27/11

A rough month for Lola…
Lola has had a difficult month. She was becoming sour to work at the trot and canter about 4 weeks ago and we starting to question the saddle fit, other things that might be causing her discomfort and possible behavioral issues. She had been going so well this change…
Bridgit training update from Kim Lacy
From trainer Kim Lacy: “Bridgit is doing well. She’s very sensible, she just has a lot of energy. Now that we are doing more “work” she is better focused. The biggest issue with her right now is she is pretty weak in her hind end and over her back and she does get…
Kai Update
Kai is doing wonderful for both his riding work and behavior. He is getting to spend a few nights a week in the arena for turnout which has been great for his energy level and training rides. We are working right now to clear up some thrush in his front feet. Wet…
