Silly Horse Stories
I was so excited. I had found a beautiful, 6yr Appendix Quarter Horse for sale on the coast for just $300! (1988) I wanted a larger horse to start dressage training (on a low budget) and this was it. The owner called him "The Bay". Ooh, I liked that name. I thought about it all week. When I arrived at the owner's stable I was trailered up with $300 in hand. A big cowboy stepped out of the house and when I asked to see the horse, he pointed up the hill. "Well, he's up on in the big pasture.…

“To martingale, or not to martingale…
"To martingale, or not to martingale?" By Kathy Rogers "Where's the martingale? You know he needs to be ridden in a martingale", I could not have been more clear.. "That was then, this is now", smiled Tracy. "I've been working on his ground manners and riding him everyday. He is doing so well at giving his head to the bit, that I don't even need the martingale". Now Kalero was pretty green at age 5. In fact, Kalero was green until the day he died - at age 17. And, for whatever reason, both Kalero and his mother have always…
