Just posted the first part of my new blog series. The trials and trip ups of a trainer with the best intentions.

We first met Joy last December after she was taken in by the incredible people at Quest Equine Welfare in Australia.
Joy had been found at one day old, lying in…

So, little Havoc got to go out in the field today. Perhaps we were a bit naive, thinking he would be fine out there. I wasn't too sure, but, I'm one of *those* owners, so, I was letting the experienced folks make the call.
One 10 month old baby.... 4 geldings.... one field.... They ran around a couple times, Havoc leading, he can out run them. Then it looked good, he was by himself, they were up in the one corner, no one was freaking out, big field.... Until one of the…

It's foaling season at Sweetwater Ranch. One of my clients bought a lovely dressage mare by Olympic Ferro already bred to Grannius II - and I covered two of my own mares with Louie. So, this year I will get to see what he produces, and we already have one foal on the ground. He has been named Sweetwater's Alliance - barn name Lance - and he is lovely with good straight legs, up on his pasterns and nice feet all around. And BIG. In fact, Dr Marteney said he is the biggest foal he has…

I just have to post a couple pictures of my little man when we put a saddle pad on him. He's 2 1/2 months old and a 'whole world of trouble'. He's by Popeye out of a Cheops Z x Tango Selune mare. I love…

Loretta has been sold to a really nice family in Orangeville. She will be bred to Carbadino for 2011 foal. Brando is going to the same family-Courtney is going to be working with Brando preparing him for the show ring.
Very excited for both.

Well, my little Havoc is adorable and home. He's scraped a bunch of hair off of his face, lord only knows how. He's happily ensconced in his paddock with his momma, and he goes out in the field with momma and Auntie Cass. He now gets just the tiniest bit of pellets because he can't share his Mom's food, and thinks he's hot stuff with his very own bucket of goodies. And he munches hay with Mom, looking very serious about the whole thing.
He's such a saucy thing. He does NOT…

After another weekend of Havoc... And I mean literally.
So, the dam of my little Havoc, her name is Snip, had her shoes pulled on Thursday. Now she had a bad case of laminitis two years ago and has 23.5 degrees of rotation in her right fore. So, the front of her foot doesn't exactly grow all that well. Which is why we'd pull her shoes and see if she could go barefoot and quit cracking up what little foot she has. Apparently not. P3 is pretty close to the sole, she must have…

Well, our mare delivered unto us a very adorable little boy on July 6. True to the adage that mares are cagey, at 9:30 pm the milk didn't test like she was imminent, she didn't look quite right, 11pm I get the call that the colt is on the ground. After a very tiring 2 hour drive down, I was pretty awake when I saw the little guy.
Momma was a maiden, delivery was easy, but she wasn't sure what she was supposed…
