Over fifty people came to our farm Sunday October 25th for our Autumn Get-Together. Five of the horses performing had never been in front of an audience and none of them spooked, shied or ran away!

Throughout the performances we …

Pax is a five-year-old Canadian owned by Ron. Ron’s the one who used to start and ride racing Thoroughbreds.

Ron is doing a ground driving demonstration for our Get-Together next Sunday. The music is sung by Chubby Checker. It’s “The …

We’ve been practicing for the October 25th Get-Together. We’ve placed a radio/CD/tape player on a chair, just across our barrier that will separate the audience from the horse. This allows easy access to the machine so we can start, stop …

We began with Z and Z’s liberty routine. Within seconds of the music starting we realized that Zeloso needed his halter and a lead line on. Having him at liberty was a train wreck. It took a while to catch …

Where do I begin!

Wednesday evening I received an email from a friend. She mentioned that she was in the Wind Rider competition in Norwich this weekend AND that it was similar to Working Equitation, right up our alley.

Zelador quite likes carrying the ridged ball. I got to thinking… perhaps he can learn how to play basketball. I talked with Bill last night and he led me through the early development of the game. Initially a ball was …
