Sasha — Feb 8, 2009
Good Evening- Here are some more pics of Sasha. We’ve been working with a trainer for about four weeks now. We’ve been doing a lot of linking up to get her to be comfortable with leading and stopping. She’s doing quite well in paying attention to me and my body…
Annie Update from Feb 5 2009
Update from Allison: So I took Annie out for a thorough grooming session the other day, and I could not believe this was the same horse!!!!!! At first, she was a little jiggy, like “what are we doing, why is there no wall behind me”, but she quickly relaxed and…
Whisper Update — February 5, 2009
From Monica: Ok, the camera adds ten pounds…at least I hope it was the camera:-) I tried not to cry, but that sweet Whisper has a way of getting into the hearts of those who have had the priviledge of working with her. I swear I had many profound statements on…
Summer Update from Feb 4 2009
Summer gets a haircut! She is such a nice horse. I have never had a problem catching her and today she did not even blink at the clippers and let me clip her with out moving.
Summer Update from Feb 2 2009 and Feb 4 2009
I promise I wont always post so many pictures but she is just so dang sweet. She is already warming up to us. Here she is with my boys. Summer is doing great. She is eating good and her and Figi are getting along just great. Summer…
Deeds Update from Feb 1 2009
Update from Deeds’ Adopter: So… Mr. Deeds got to be our model this wednesday! We had some reps out to my work to demonstrate a very fancy digital xray machine. Since my vet knew that i was planning on rechecking Deed’s enlarged fetlock and suspensory, he asked if i…
Annie Update from Jan 30 2009
Annie is also wrapping up her training and coming back to Monroe this weekend, where hopefully we can find enough volunteers to keep her going until she finds a home! In the last couple of weeks Annie has also made huge strides in her training. While she will always…
Summer Update from Jan 28 2009
Slam loves those red-headed girls! Here he is flirting with Summer: And we finally caught Summer in the act!!!
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…
