Well Dino is finally home! He arrived on the 26th and has been oh so much fun to have around. This amazing 17.2H gelding is a welcome addition to the show barn and will be hitting the rails this spring, summer, and fall with our trainer Janet. Also we got in a really nice paint mare for the ranch. She is going to be a great asset to the program and will be a great mare for us for many years to come. She is a blast to ride and definitely is a change of pace from my regular horses. Big Dino is going to be shown in all disciplines but his specialty is HUS, he has been shown nationally and at the world level in hunter under saddle and has had a very successful career as such a horse. He also excels in western pleasure and you sure notice him in the pen. For such a big guy he can fit right in with the pleasure horses and he is literally un beatable in the english classes. That is quite the tall order for Janet to fill, but knowing her she is ready to take on the challenge and kick some butt with this guy. He is currently being worked every day and getting fit for the first shows of the season.
We also were able to place Whinny our rescue mare in a wonderful home, and miss Belle will be going to her home in a little over a week. With all of the big changes on horses around here i almost forgot to mention our newest ranch gelding, Hammer. He is the big bay roan that i have pictures of on here somewhere. He is a blast, like all the others, to ride and is a beast on the trails. This gelding is fearless and a true leader on the trails, he will works cattle like none other and can even pull out the pleasure jog if asked too.
