Whisper Update ā Dec 20 2008
Whisper went down again and I was making phone calls at 11pm tonight. We got her up again, once again she perked up but I am pretty depressed that she went down again so quickly. Itās going to be a long, cold night. ***** She managed to stay up all night. Thankā¦

Sinatra Update from Dec 18 2008
Here is Sinatra modeling his brand new big-boy blanket. Unfortunately, itās so cold that he is now wearing his wrap-around baby blanket over top, but he wanted you all to see how sharp he looks without it:
Annie Update from Dec 17 2008
Lots to write about Annie! She is doing great!! She is now off the lunge line and walking and trotting in the big arena! Annie, our little hotheaded redhead, is doing amazingly well. One thing that is clear about Annie is that it takes a while for her to trust peopleā¦
Whisper Update ā Dec 17, 2008

April Training Notes: Finn
Weāve had some difficulties keeping Finnās shoes on recently. His feet seem to be pretty soft and his shoes have just fallen off a few times. But they seem to be holding better now, and hopefully with better nutrition and hoof care, his feet will improve. We treatedā¦
April Training Notes: Oscar
Oscar has been doing much better under saddle, and weāve 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 withā¦
April Training Update: Kai
Iāve 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 theā¦
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 Iāve been riding her during Katās rides so she gets some āhelpā when she starts gettingā¦
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 toā¦
