A Bit Off Track

As I have said Ace is learning how to live in a pleasure barn. He is settling in very well and his feet are comming along nicely.
He has been moved from his quarentine stall and is in the real world of all the horses and people.

He stands in his stall with his head in the aisle snuffling all the kids who just happen to have treats for him.

I am going to go out tomorrow morning and do some ground work with him and maybe put a saddle on him time will tell.

In the mean time, I am getting Duncan ready to go to the National Standardbred Horse Show held in the Horse Park of NJ on August 30th. That's TWO weeks and we have lots to do.

We will be traveling down to NJ with my good friend E and her wonderful mare Dreamy Starlet, on Friday the 28th. On Saturday the 29th we will both be showing ing the first ever in NJ Battle of the Breeds, a series of classes between TBs and STBs, it should be a fun event.

There is a lot to do between now and then. But, this is the big show for those of us who show Performance Standardbreds and I am excited. This is the Third year I have taken Duncan and the 2nd for Dreamy.

This morning I received a new custom western headstall from my Tack Sponsor and it is beautiful Smokey Quartz with Montana Silver show buckles on it. I will fit it tomorrow and post pictures tomorrow night.

So, please bear with me as you are going to be reading a bit about my finished show horse and a bit about the show horse in training.
