Thanks Sharon.
Donnie is doing quite well in his new home. He has a friend named Rascal - a very cute Morgan whom Donnie has quickly learned to boss around. ;)

I am in the middle of what seems like a never-ending search for a new horse. I am looking a two on Monday and will keep my fingers crossed.

I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful summer!

Hello all, I have been checking in occasionally, but so busy riding...

Barbara, sorry to hear about Donnie - went through similar will Belle & her arthritis. She has adjusted to being a trail pony very well and is so cuddly and relaxed now - retirement suits her. I am riding a borrowed horse and like her very much, but she's no Belle. It will be another year before I can purchase a second horse. It takes some time to get over the disappointment for both yourself and your horse (Belle loves jumping and will still try and pull me over the fences if they are left up in the arena)

We have been riding trail all season and doing some more extended rides. I will be taking her to a golf course in two weeks. I have always joked that the only good use for a golf course would be to run the horses on. Through a riding buddy, we have the chance to ride a course that shut down. Should be a blast. I will keep you posted.

Hop Hill stables is featured in a follow up article in this month's WHOA magazine for anyone who is interested.

Hi I just joined. I am almost 40, it's getting closer each day lol. I had horses from a young age, left for almost 11 years, then talked my husband into having a horse (I had many) I was a show ridder first and formost, then since he raced and we needed to eat, slowly I turned to just the race horses. I love all horses, but after so many years with the stbs. I fell in love with them and their ability to do so many things and do them so well... so that's what I did, we bought a yearling, and we've been training him to race, if he makes it fine, if not we will show him. If he does make it will will still show him... His name is Tiocfaidh Ar La (Gaelic translation: Our Day Will Come). We call him Che. Our goal is to event, so far he looks like he will live up to my hopes, I have my finger's crossed!

I don't get Horse Sport any more but if they wrote about the place I can imagine it is very interesting to see what they have done with all the recycled materials they used.

Yes, Gail, that is over in Uxbridge. Horse Sport ran an article a couple of months ago about it, and I know my coach teaches there. Maybe check some back issues of Horse Sport, I think they had the people's name.

I was sure I had seen mention of a boarding place that is all of recycled material. It is called Hop Hill Stables. I am interested in finding out more about it for a feature in my farm paper called The Voice of the Farmer. Any one know anything about it?
