A show horse
Mom came out a little while ago and put my face harness on. Then her phone rang and so she needed me to stand patiently and wait until she was done with her phone call. See how I did?———–> Mom said we have to practice. I never practice, but she seemed to think…

Hope at home
Stella is home from training!
Stella is home from 45 days of training with Joel Conner. I got the chance to ride her in the clinic when Joel was at SAFE and it was a blast getting to know this spunky mare. She is a very sensitive and smart girl. She handled being in the arena with ten other horses…

We have really enjoyed getting reacquainted with this pretty little chestnut! Unfortunately, Scarlett came up lame at the end of July, so we had Dr. Devine, from Pilchuck, come out to evaluate her. After flexion tests and nerve blocks, the lameness was localized to…
