From Megan: We moved Sasha to her new home at Pond-a-LuceāA Stables today (about 2ā3 mins from KCJ). She really enjoys the indoor arena and her new stall. She was excited and unsure of the trailer and it took a little longer than weād hoped to get her loaded up. But,ā¦

Skittles at the Open House
Skittles had the opportunity to let her sweet personality shine during this past weekendās Open House. She was the official greeter in the main barn, and she was completely charming.
March training notes: Skittles
Skittles is going very well under saddle in both walk and trot. She has shown on two different occasions that she is a very level headed horse by not overreacting to noises or other horses acting up in turnout next to the arena while she was being riden. I wouldnātā¦
