Thought I would just put up a quick little blog on a recap of 2009. It’s been a big year. Of course, Filly Tracks was started this year, I sold my first horse, and bought my second, and have done plenty of work with her! I actually have another couple of videos to get up [...]

This blog post is a little different, but I feel it will still be a good one. I was reading an article in the January issue of Practical Horseman about Becky Holder. It was titled, “Winning the Fitness Battle” by Melissa Roddy Wright. If you get the magazine, I definitely recommend [...]

Annie had her first ride! It went ok. She did well, I just wish we would’ve had more time! I got to the barn later than I wanted, and the sun sets so early now! I didn’t get to do as much ground work as I wanted before I got on her, which wasn’t good. [...]

Sorry it took so long for this one to get up, I had all the video last weekend, but this past week was exam week, so my attention had to be on school work and studying. But now that’s all over until next quarter. In this video we worked on a lot of ground work. This is what we’ve been doing for the past couple of weeks. When I got her she had only [...]

So… Annie’s great. Couldn’t ask her to do any better at this point. This week I’ve been out there twice since I posted last, and she did great both days. Tuesday when I went out there, her and El, the other haflinger mare she’s pastured with, were way in the back of the field. I [...]
