Biscotti — Mar 23, 2009

Naughty little Scotti got his shots today. He was good for the shots, he’s just naughty in general. He’s got the funniest personality, but he’s a troublemaker!

Whisper Update — March 23, 2009

I need to take some new photos of Whisper! She is back at my farm right now before she moves to a new foster home in Duvall. She looks so amazing, hardly even recognizable from the mess she was in December. She is almost FAT now, she even has a little bubble butt! She…

Summer Update from Mar 21 2009

Summer under saddle: Here’s a video as well. She did great with my son. He has never rode a horse all on his own I always lead him but they did great together.  She is go good with the kids. Next time he rides I will use the small…

Sinatra Update from Mar 19 2009

I found a little blue rubber ball in the pasture today. I picked it up and tossed it at Sinatra. He walked after it, picked it up, and dropped it. I picked it up again and tossed it a little ways from him. He walked after it, picked it up, and dropped it. I picked it…

Holly Update — Mar 3, 2009

April Training Notes: Oscar

Oscar has been doing much better under saddle, and we’ve seen good improvement in his willingness to move forward. Also the Dynamite Vit has helped his lethargic behavior and he is not drifting off while we are working with him anymore. He still has issue with…

April Training Update: Kai

I’ve had some wonderful rides on Kai this month where he was feeling stronger and showed some good self carriage. I started working on sitting trot and found he is not ready for this on his weak back muscles. I will continue to slowly introduce more of this over the…

April Training Notes: Lola

Lola has been making good progress this month, including some good independent trotting without the help of a ground person. I found that she loves to trot with Kat in the arena so I’ve been riding her during Kat’s rides so she gets some “help” when she starts getting…

April Training Notes: Jewel

Jewel is doing well, learning to lunge and develop some ground manners. She still pulls on the halter when lunging and she overreacts when asked to go out on the circle. Treatment to the injury she sustained to her left hind foot was actually beneficial to…

April Training Notes: Phoenix

Phoenix’s rehab is going well. We’ve re-introduced walking under saddle. He is up to 20 mins of riding, continuing some hand walking up to 30 without rider. Increasing both by 5 mins gradually over each the week until we reach 45–60 mins then continue with that…

April Training Notes: Skittles

Skittles is doing very well and is now going walk trot and canter under saddle. She did seem to lose a little weight this month, possibly due to coming into season, so I increased her mash again just a bit. She is muscling up a bit along the top line mostly over her…
