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…
Lexi Update from July 23 2009
Lexi’s doing great in her training. She’s not quite consistent with her canter work yet, she has a hard time maintaining it on the corners with a rider but is getting there. She’s totally unfazed by anything that is going on around her and very calm and easy going.…
Nala graduates from training!
Nala graduated from training last week and headed off for Safe Harbor Stables, where she immediately was enrolled in the Michael Sparling clinic! Volunteer rider Lisa G was aboard, and the two of them did quite well together. Lisa says she’s really enjoyed riding Nala…
Misty is Available for Adoption Again
As excited we are to find potential adopters for our horses, it is always more important to us that the match be right for all involved. Our adoption process is designed to ensure that both the horse and the adopter are right for each other, and we work hard to make…
Ben Update
Ben is looking great! He needs to gain about 100 more pounds or so but his appetite is up and he is eating very well. We are doing light liberty and ground work with him while he recovers from starvation. He is a very smart and fast learner. We will start to…
Great progress this month for Karma
Karma is a ton of fun to ride and work! She is going very nicely for all that is being asked of her and making progress every day. She is feeling more balanced in herself and starting to hold a little more self-carriage. Her back and neck are starting to fill in with…
Big man Chip!
We are working to clear up some accesses and fungus in this sweet boy’s feet. He has been very good for the cleanings, poultice applications, and for wearing boots. His feet are looking and smelling much better! We also turned Chip and Finn out in the arena together.…
Training Update: Cameo
Cameo gets the right lead canter!! The new shoes are wonderful and the small changes that have been started are making a ton of difference in her ability to carry a rider. We have also noticed that the build up on her left shoulder from the right club foot has started…
