Lucky Update from Oct 16, 2010
I rode Lucky today for the first time. We would have been on him sooner but he was pretty sore on his feet until we finally put front shoes and pads on him, and then we couldnāt seem to go a day without him pulling one of them. But we have them back on, plus bellā¦

Baxter Update from Sept 30 2010
I worked with Baxter again last night. I think Jaimeās got him totally fixed now because both times Iāve worked with him he was Mr. Easytocatch. That said, heās not exactly a snuggly horseā¦ he just has an air about him that heās waiting for you to be mean to him. Heā¦
Baxter Update from Sept 26 2010
Update from Sara: I rode Baxter in a lesson today. Like Dexter, he doesnāt know much (and is somewhat nervous about whips & crops). Butā¦ heās willing to try and quite fun to ride (big, comfy trot!). Heās not very fit right now (which is understandable consideringā¦

Deeds Update from Sept 21 2010
Many thanks to Sheridan Jones who has arranged for Deeds to spend a month in training with Kim Gately! Sheridan felt that Deeds could use a little refresher on his manners. Weāre also hoping to get Kimās opinion on what type of job Deeds might be suitable for, givenā¦

Phoenix had the opportunity recently to don the western tack and enjoy a ride with new volunteer rider, Jolene. Doesnāt he look handsome?

Look who I ran into yesterday at the Donida schooling show! Itās Aiden! He competed in the hunter classes and did a terrific job.
Marta and Shay greet springtime
Spring has sprung, apparently, and what better way to celebrate than letting the ponies into the pasture! Yesterday Marta and Shay enjoyed a very serious bit of rolling and then took off and galloped a few laps around the pasture. Their foster mom Eileen took thisā¦
