Lexi Update from June 27 2009
Well today was the big video day for Lexi. And wow! I know its always exciting seeing these horses under saddle for the first time, but with Lexi it was even cooler, because the change to her FEET with the shoes has been amazing! She almost looks normal! Just that…
Lexi Update from June 25 2009
Lexi’s training is coming along very well. Like Rhythm, she is also now walking and trotting around the big arena under saddle. We also, after much discussion and getting Dr. Hannah’s blessing, put front shoes on Lexi as she seemed like she was getting footsore. She…
Lexi Update from June 3 2009
Lexi has also progressed to having a rider leaning over her back at a walk. She’s a little more nervous with Rhythm and hence a little behind him but coming along nicely as well.
Lexi Update from May 29 2009
Lexi is doing well in her first couple of weeks in training. She has learned to cross-tie, lunge, get baths, and is wearing a saddle and bridle. She wasn’t thrilled with the bit at first (was trying to spit it out) and bucked the second time she was saddled but has…
Lexi Update from Sept 30 2008
I visited Lexi this past weekend and she is still chunky and is getting her fuzzy winter coat which does nothing to help her look slimmer. She spends her days in a pasture with Rhythm and Willy a QH gelding. She is still very sweet, but preferred to graze over…
Lexi Update from July 29 2008
Here are some photos of Lexi from last July. She’s doing great (although a bit on the tubby side), although she did have an abcess a few weeks ago (she’s fine now).
Lexi Update from June 28 2008
Lexi was seen by Dr. Hannah yesterday to evaluate her soundness and ability to be started under saddle. We had xrays taken in 2005 and then again this spring by NW Equine for comparison purposes. Armed with her xrays, Dr. Hannah did flexion tests, trotted her in…

Aiden Update!!

Emmy veterinary update
Emmy was seen by Dr McCracken at Rainland Equine last week for continuing diagnostics, following the discovery of the OCD lesion in her stifle. The results of these diagnostics were informative but not completely conclusive. Dr McCracken used Rainland’s “Lameness…
Michael Sparling Clinic: Kai
Kai did well for Stephanie in the Michael Sparling Clinic. He was, as Michael put it, the trickiest horse that came to the clinic. To ride Kai successfully, your timing has to be dead on and you have to be right there to support and help him find balance. It is…
Sad news about Emmy
A few weeks ago, Terry was showing Emmy to some potential adopters. She looked fine at liberty and on the lunge line, but when Terry got on her to ride, Emmy pinned her ears and kicked out at her leg…behaving in a way that was very non-Emmy like! Terry got off and…

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…
