Updates…

Texas weather has been very kind to us so far – pretty mild, lots of temps in the 70′s…very workable.  We’ve been able to move forward and the training of some of the horses; making strides so to speak.

Reina is doing very well; her roundness work is coming along nicely and she is turning into a calm, reliable mount.  Amada is advancing in her workouts; easy going as ever and developing a lot of good stuff under saddle.  We’ve started some new projects, including Cha Cha (Lusitano/Kiger) out of Leza, and getting some good groundwork done with her.  I really like this mare and plan on keeping her and breeding her to Gringo in the next couple of years.  Electra, or Lexi, our little Paso cross filly is beginning her journey into getting under saddle.  She is a little spitfire and a ton of fun to play with.  Soon to begin working toward getting under saddle are Fabio, Cora and Nali.  The other coming three year olds, Chiva and Luna, I will most likely wait until summer or fall to start with.

ChaCha…getting so tall, already 15’2 and still a ways to go:

Gringo is getting back to work under saddle.  He sure is one heck of a horse!  I enjoy him so much.  My main riding horse, Rev, is being focused toward Working Equitation.  We are starting a chapter here in Central Texas for the competitions…looking forward to training for these events.

Rev, enjoying the sunshine:

We recently sold two of our horses; Baila (a Chilli baby) is now owned by the Huppe family.  10 year old Emily is her main care giver and riding companion.  It is great to see Baila finally have a home, not to mention such a perfect one.  Baby Zerlina, was a surprise Xmas gift to long time client, Haley Turner.  I am looking forward to watching them together doing great things.

Broodmares are due to come up soon…getting big and slowing down some, coming into their last trimester.  I think Leza and Joy have boys in there – which is way too exciting for me!  Speaking of babies, last years group will have some changes coming soon.  Troy and Max will be separated and moved to their own pasture – Troy is all boy lately!  Our new filly from the Kiger adoption, Zuri, will be moved into the filly herd – which she will be excited about!  The mare, Raz, is about to officially begin her training around here; lots of pictures and videos to come!
