Baxter Update from April 24, 2010
Baxter got ridden for the first time today by our trainer Andrea Lucianna. He did really well. We put a western saddle on him and he was completely unfazed by the saddling and girthing up. She did a lot of slapping the saddle and jumping up and down on the stirrup andā¦

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 hasā¦
