Lexi Update from Aug 8 2010
I just had to post how proud I am of Lexi. She did GREAT for me at the show, especially considering I’d only started working with her the previous week and she’d had a month or two off before that. Anyway, for the record she won the dressage Intro A & B classes as…
Lexi Update from Aug 4 2010
Update from foster mom: Lexi is doing well and we’re going to try all sorts of classes at the show Saturday (dressage, english, western, trail — all walk/trot). She’s a good all arounder. I’ve been working with her lightly almost daily since I picked her up last week…
Lexi Update from July 27 2010
Lexi hasn’t had much done with her the last few months due to lack of volunteers to ride her, and she has gotten a bit fat and sassy. Last night she was ridden by Amy, who previously fostered Whisper and Aiden, and then Amy took her home to work with her for the next…
Lexi Update from Feb 13 2010
Lexi is available for adoption again! The past few months she has been ridden by an 11 year old girl and has proved herself to be safe and quiet. We took her back because of some concerns that the foster home was not able to handle her strict farrier routine and she…

Allison tried Lexi out western today. She was so cute! And you can slow that trot down to a nice western jog too! She cooled her out bareback afterwards. Video also:
Lexi Update from Aug 23 2009
Lexi was so good at the 2009 SAFE Benefit Show! Everyone was amazed she had only had 75 days under saddle…she was so laid back and easy going! She wasn’t real comfortable having horses she didn’t know close to her so we put a red ribbon in her tail just to be safe,…
Lexi Update from Aug 12 2009
I rode Lexi myself tonight. She did great! She’s a lot of fun, and VERY sensitive to your seat and weight aids. She did great even with my cats deciding it was a good time to chase each other up the arena posts as we rode by. She didn’t like the length of my arena…
Lexi Update from Aug 8 2009
Lexi was awesome today! She looks so good, like a little mini-Warmblood! Alison got to ride her (I will have to have a turn soon though, she looks so fun!). She very steady now, very consistent on the bit and very forward, none of that pony movement or attitude from…
Training Update: Misty
Misty is really turning into a lovely horse. Her attitude while working is very steady and constant. She is ridden by a few different riders throughout the week and is well behaved for their different styles and abilities. We’ve been trying her barefoot for the last…

Training Update: Lola
It’s been a but of a rough year so far for Lola. Her feet become very uncomfortable while she was barefoot and unfortunately we did not correct the issue fast enough. She became sore on her right front and had to take some time off riding. We’re working on a new…
Cameo: Sister Moonbeam just wants to dance
I had the chance to chat with trainer Laura McCorkle who’s done a lot of work with Cameo over the past months and has seen the slow but steady transformation that this lovely mare has gone through. Laura laughs when she talks about Cameo’s “ice princess” demeanor,…
Video: Anderson Post-Gelding Training & Exercise
We’ve been monitoring Anderson’s progress since his gelding surgery last week. Dr. Hannah Mueller is supervising his post-operative forced exercise, which will help reduce swelling and encourage drainage and healing of the surgery site. During this exercise, she has…
