A Slight Setback

For me. One of my dogs is a bit hyper and early this morning she ran outside and when she reached the end of her extenda-a-leash my left shoulder took all the torque and that is my bad shoulder so I am laid up for at least 4 or 5 weeks. It's happened before but never when I am starting a horse.


But, thankfully Bri, the barn manager really loves Ace and she will help me with him.
He is doing well and has settled into the world of a pleasure barn and loves everyone. He hardly ever makes evil faces so that makes me happy.

A Slight Set

Back to Ace

I went out to Journey's End Farm this morning and we put the saddle on and lunged and worked Ace for about 20 minutes. He learned about mounting blocks, and I pulled and pushed and tugged and hauled on the equipment NOTHING... He was like he had been doing this all his life.

I'm thinking tomorrow I might just climb aboard and see what happens. I'm betting NOTHING, he has settled into life in the Pleasure Barn well and Bri, the manager just LOVES him. Hey, what's not to love he's a Standardbred.

I did take pictures and will up load them this evening and post some for you all to see.

National show

Please enjoy these pictures taken at the National Show of Slam Dunk Lobell. He did well, the competition was wonderful and we had a great time. I got to meet some people from The Gaited Horse Sense Board that I belong to, they came up from Delaware. So the show is done now let us get back to Ace.
