Bubbles Update from July 29 2010
Bubbles loaded right into my trailer without hesitation and hauled like a pro the 6+ hours in the heat and traffic it took me to get home from Oregon. Bubbles is quite a looker and a very sweet girl at that! Even though she still needs a little work on having her hind…
Lucky Update from July 28, 2010
Just wanted to give an update on Lucky. He’s been transitioned off his racing plates and is currently barefoot. He is a bit sore and did blow a big abcess right away but is doing well now and sporting a barefoot trim. All his cuts and dings have healed and he is…
Dexter Update from July 28, 2010
So I am going to go ahead and re-list Dexter as available for adoption. He is going quite well for Sara under saddle (a little stubborn about going to the left, a little ring sour about going towards the gate, but nothing major). We have still not seen any signs of…
Holly Update — July 25, 2010
Update from Holly’s adopter: Holly attended the ACTHA Pink Ribbon ride today. We did a four and a half hour ride with 10 obstacles. All dressed up in pink! We are very proud of her. The trail itself has many challenges. Hills, up and down. Lots of scary things too.…
Holly Update — July 21, 2010
Update from Holly’s adopter: Holly got her first set of shoes today. Now that the dry weather has arrived and the mud has dried, it was time for Holly to have shoes for the trails. We tried them out today and they work great! Holly was so good.
Sinatra Update from July 17 2010
Update from Sundance Equestrian: Sinatra has progressed so much on the line! We are so exited about him! He is now able to canter calmly and quietly as well as trot like an old pro ‑we are all very proud of him and the work the Danika and Chelsea have put into him.…
Bubbles Update from July 8 and 17th, 2010
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…
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…
