In August of 2004 a wonderful 7y.o. 17hh TB gelding named Arbor Day came into all of our lives. He had been retired from racing due to a pelvic injury that had occurred several months earlier. In early September an old injury to one of the tarsal bones in his right hock was also discovered. At first the prognosis was grim and the fate of our handsome man was very uncertain.

After months of treatment Arbor Day is doing beautifully. He gets 2 full body massages a week, good feed and supplements and as much turnout as possible. He's now doing so well that many believe he'll return to work this summer!

UPDATE: 2009, Arbor Day is now showing 1st level dressage and consistently scoring in the 60's. Congrats to our handsome man on overcoming dismal odds.

This adorable little guy is former racer who had proven himself to be a bit of a challenge. Always quiet at home, his nerves would get the best of him when it came time to show. He came to the farm for exposure to lots of activity and made it into the dressage ring only three weeks later! He was absolutely adorable and came home with a ribbons. Congrats to his owner Jen on doing an excellent job with him!

Our first homebred filly is getting ready to race!  Please stay tuned to see how she does in 2006!

UPDATE: After retiring from race training Demi has been successfully showing training level dressage and scoring in the 60's and 70's.  She loves her new career and really turns heads everywhere she goes!

Fritzi's Michelle came to us at the end of the 2004 race season a bit underweight and unsure of herself.  She is due to have her first foal by our stallion this Spring!  We wish her a happy and safe delivery!

This adorable 5y.o. Arabian/Saddlebred cross was presenting with moderate to severe soreness in her neck, topline and  haunches. The soreness  was such that she was overflexing in the neck and  not engaging her hind end  while being ridden. Now she is doing much better and starting to really strut her stuff in the arena! She's much more relaxed and always happy to see "her very own masseuse!"
