RETRAINING AT COVEY RUN EVENTING
By Carrie Butler
We retrain many OTTB’s here at Covey Run. They have a special place in my heart. OTTB’s have such heart and a wonderful work ethic. One very common issue with horses coming off the track is that many of these horses have difficulty picking up the right canter lead in the beginning of their new training. This is not a misbehavior on the horse’s part, but most likely a weakness coming from the fact that horses on the track run to the left.
I find that one of the best ways to deal with this is to not get stuck in the “ask for canter, ops wrong lead pull up try again, ops wrong lead” cycle. In the aforementioned scenario, the horse becomes frustrated and confused because they are cantering, which is what the rider is asking. Remember, all this is new to them!
I find that if the horse continually picks up the incorrect lead (either direction) a great training exercise is to continue on the incorrect lead on a 20 meter circle for 1-2 full circles, ask for trot and immediately then for canter. 9 out of 10 times the horse will then pick up the correct lead because they felt off balance circling on the incorrect lead! It is a win win situation because you are on the correct lead and your horse had a positive learning experience!

Are you looking for a horse to bring up the levels? If so, Coach Mathew ( Victor) 8 yo 16.3h bay TB G, is the man for the job! Victor has three quality gaits. He is currently schooling training level dressage and has correct basics to move forward with. He is easy in the bridle and likes to do his dressage work. Victor has scope to spare and loves to jump! He gives his rider a fabulous feeling over the jumps! He takes you nicely to base and is working on his adjustability and it is coming along nicely! He is brave and safe. Currently in a 5/6 day a week program, a combination of flatting,jumping and hacking. Victor definitely has the potential to move up the levels in Eventing or jumpers. He is looking for a partner to help him do just that! He retired sound from the track with no limitations. Text 267-278-5964 or PM for price and videos!

This horse is sold to a great new home!! FIFI, 15.3+, 5 yo, Percheron/QH (Dam x TB (Calabash by Fabulous Bid) INTRODUCING FIFI_ THEY DON'T GET ANY CUTER> YOU CAN THANK ME LATER! “Hi everyone! My name is Fifi, my mom was Folly! I have had a lot of challenges in the last few months because my first mom went to heaven. Together we did tons of trail riding (alone and in company) and fox hunting with Fair Hill Fox Hounds. I am very, very good at these two jobs. I am not spooky at all, love to lead, but will go in the back nicely if you would like me to. I do not mind deer, scary vultures 9even with their wings out!), traffic and of course dogs! I have really taken to my new jobs which include learning dressage and stadium jumping. I am soft in the bridle and learning to go in a frame which I like to do. I have 3 good gaits and move beautifully. I am more of a kick ride but I’m not exhausting to make go forward. I also love to jump. I am not at all bothered by whatever distance you get – no problem! I got it! I listen nicely to half halts and trot or canter jumps. I have great feet, clean legs and a sweet demeanor. I love people and really hope you’ll be mine! I truly am a special, once in a life time horse, and by the way, I’m super cute to boot!” Text Carrie Butler at 267 278 5964 for video and to schedule an appointment to see Fifi. This one won’t last! $ 12,500.
What an incredible group of riders! Here are just a few of the photos from this mornings clinic. Everyone worked so hard and were so supportive of each other! Great riding!!! Keep checking back for our next clinic. Comment if you'd like to be added to our email list. Feel free to tag others! Looking forward to seeing you all next time.
* ARE YOU READY TO BE VOTED PARENT OR HUSBAND OF THE YEAR THIS CHRISTMAS? WE’VE GOT THE TICKET!!!! Duncan, the wonder pony! Welsh Morgan Cross Black 14.2h 9yo Gelding 9 years Duncan is super special pony!! He is meant to be under someone’s Christmas tree this year…. could that person be you??? He loved having his photos taken and is quite the ham! This pony is a people pleaser and really loves people. He is nice in the barn and easy in turn out. NOTHING phases Duncan, not traffic, bridges, deer, goats, sheep, dogs, flowers at the jumps, not even the liverpool! He is forward without being quick and is very responsive to the bridle. Duncan can go any direction. Duncan is a wonderful mover who with an ambitious adult or kid would be a great dressage pony. Duncan also likes to jump, and he could also conquer the jumper or eventing world. He is soft in the contact, easy to make round, has a nice reaching trot and is starting some lateral work. His canter is very comfortable and uphill, and with more training he will have a lovely medium. He is not spooky to the jumps and is careful not to touch anything. He can trot or canter a small course happily. He is easy and very tolerant of any rider error. He enjoys a hack alone or in company. Crosses water no problem. He is a great all around partner who is very safe and kind while still being handsome and talented. We would love to show him to you! $ 8500.

Incantation 8 yo Registered KWPN 16.2h Mare
Beautiful bay mare with chrome
(Zerona out of Joliette [El Corona])
Everyone is looking for that talented, fancy warmblood at a price point they can afford….
Here she is!! This mare will be competitive in the dressage ring and can move up the levels.
Indy is a beautiful mare, with great conformation. Once she starts moving it’s
hard to look away. She is easy on the eyes!
Her trot is ground covering with excellent reach through her shoulder. Her medium is going to be expressive with lots of suspension. Her canter could be ridden all day. It is up hill and balanced with natural sit.
She is schooling shoulder-in and leg yield nicely. She has been to two schooling dressage shows, where she behaved well and in a workman like fashion. She scored in the high 60’s.
Indy is a mare with true upper level potential. We see her being successful with a good riding working student in a program with a good dressage trainer or an educated AA working closely with a good trainer. Indy needs to be in a consistent program, right now she is ridden 4-5 days a week and this works well for her. This is a nice mare who needs further training to reach her full potential, which is unlimited in the right program. This is not a mare for an inexperienced rider.
She is very sound and has amazing feet. She is currently barefoot. Indy is missing her right eye. This doesn’t bother her in the least and isn’t noticeable when she is going! Please call me to chat so we can see if she sounds like the perfect fit for you!! 267-278-5964 Located Avondale, PA 19311

I had to share this beautiful picture of Dunkin and Zoey. He’s quite the superstar in the show ring and on the trails. We are having so much fun with him and we’re so glad we found him thru Covey Eventing. He does it all!
Thank you Carrie for making buying Focus a wonderful experience!! I never gave it a second thought leaving Focus with you in training for 3 months until the heat broke in Arizona for his arrival. Your weekly updates, pictures and videos made me part of his journey. Can't wait for my boy to arrive this evening and I'll be sure to keep you updated on his progress! I hope your clients know how lucky they are to have you as their trainer!
😊
Thank you Carrie Butler for doing such a fantastic job in selling Ohio for me. Couldn't be happier with how things turned out!
