Additionally, when you are buying green and unproven you are taking a bigger risk on what that horse may want to be when it grows up. I think sometimes people see OTTBs that I have brought along and think it will turn out the same for them. What they don’t see is my $$$$$ in bills and $$$$$ in training to turn them into a $$$$-$$$$$ horse that will work for wider audience, hopefully. Why do it? Because, I can. Because, they need it.

Ribbons are lovely mementos and symbols, but be careful... when you allow ribbons to tell you if you have done a good job, then their absence will try to tell you that it was bad. And that is never the whole story.

Although one mistake can deny you a ribbon, one mistake cannot negate the positive growth, teamwork and joy that exists in every single ride. Always carry your own goals and progress closest to your heart.

Duties include stall cleaning, turnout, scrubbing buckets and troughs, daily and periodic barn related chores. The job can also be expanded into more farm maintenance, or riding and training. Hours will include some holidays, not EVERY holiday. Horse experience is mandatory, and should be detailed in your application. Please, provide references.

When I can see through my tears I’ll find more pictures. Today we said goodbye to Penny. I always said god made her of spare parts, but made up for it with an awesome brain. Unfortunately, while the heart was strong the body was weak. While she thought her terrible kissing spine was a “mere flesh wound” it was more than she could over come. She was kind enough to take care of little Kate over a few small jumps and brave enough to ignite the flame of fox hunting in Jay all the while showing endless generosity as a school horse. Horses are truly amazing not because of what they can do but what they choose to do when they don’t have to. Penny was a shining example of why little girls and people of all ages fall in love with horses again and again.
