Training update from Stacy Riggs (July 8, 2010): “Bubbles is doing great. She has been learning to tie and has been standing tied for a couple hours each day. She stands quietly and has not offered once to pull back or paw. We have a lot of traffic in the barn with…
Dexter Update from July 17, 2010
Today’s update comes from Sara Hall who has been riding Dexter on a fairly regular basis: I took Dexter for a spin today. Although quiet green and very quiet- he’s not lazy. He did give me quite the workout though. Dex is a super sweet, easy to handle (in my…

Lola Update from July 13 2010
I spent some time with Lola this weekend. I’ve been concerned about her since she lost her friend & pasture mate, Jasmine, this week. She was very quiet for a couple of days but Saturday I got out in the pasture with her and she was engaged and interested in just…
Lola Update from July 6 2010
As the sun came out this afternoon, Lola & Jasmine got some turnout on one of the grass pastures while Basil got his lesson today. It was kinda hard bopping back and forth taking photos of everyone so I mostly got grazing photos of the girls… and then she made a…
Dexter Update from June 28, 2010
So I’ve had a little bit of time to handle and observe Dexter and while I have not seen any of the bad behavior on the ground (he’s been quite compliant still), I have seen some of the behavior concerns with regards to fences and other horses. I think the issue here…

Lucky is going beautifully under saddle! He has strengthened over his top line and built up a good amount of muscle over his back. He is holding a nice self carriage and has an easy walk, trot, and canter. Lucky is ready to show First Level dressage this year and and…
New shoes for Cameo
We have been working with farrier Jake Cowden to help Cameo’s club foot by adding shoes. We’ve been making very slow and subtle changes to her hooves, but already we are seeing signs of improvement. She is striding better in the front with lots more toe flip instead…
Finn, Making Progress
I have been riding Finn for about a month now. He is a gentleman for tacking up, he stands for mounting and dismounting, walks off and halts when asked and yields his hindquarters and shoulders from both the leg or guiding reins. He is comfortable at the walk but has…
