Meet Corn on the Cob! Foaled May 20, 2010, He is a gorgeous chestnut Thoroughbred gelding by Textbook out of a Pleasant Tap mare "Pt. Pleasant". Cobb had one start and cantered quietly down the track in last place by 41 lengths. He may have made it clear racing was not for him but he shows talent in many other disciplines! He was turned out until this past summer when he was restarted slowly and correctly. He has had lots of groundwork and saddle time put into him w/t/c and over fences! More pictures and videos coming soon!

Joe Fargis, winner of Olympic Gold in 1984, is the consummate horseperson. Upon being awarded the 2012 USEF Lifetime Achievement Award and Jimmy A. Williams trophy, Joe graciously acknowledged his mentors and friends. However, his most effusive debt of gratitude was reserved for the horse--read below.

Thank you, Joe, for the wisdom and inspiration you have shared with us.

JOE FARGIS CLINIC AT FOX CHASE ON SEPT. 22, 2013. "The horse has come to us by chance, not by choice. Of all the animals that have naturally come from the wild, there are very few that have shown any disposition to tolerate man and live with him on the terms we impose. In the mental make-up of the horse there is a quality of submission that has benefited man to no end. The horse will carry out duties without reward. He is a giving creature who asks for nothing. Horses have served as man's partner throughout the history of civilization, through the centuries without complaint they have served in war, commerce, agriculture and entertainment. They have born men and munitions into battle, pulled wagons and carriages, plowed fields, provided endless sport; polo, racing, dressage, fox hunting, three-day eventing, show jumping, reining... just to name but a few. Horses are embedded in our culture and our memories. The horse has an athleticism, grace and power. Beyond the horses physical attributes and his contributions to human well-being I am astounded, above all else, by his inner self, his spirit and his sweet and generous nature. The horse's adaptability and willingness to serve us has earned them a special place in our hearts. He is not a conquest of man. It is his nature to accept 'what is' with nobility. I think horses have helped give all of us in this room a wonderful life. Thanks to them I have received great personal satisfaction and felt closer to nature. Countless people experience the fulfillment of spending their days around horses. This is one of the best way to use one's time on earth. We are together tonight because of our bond with horses, let us protect and guard these wonderful creatures to the best of our ability."
