PostHeaderIcon Fall Updates

Well, for those of you that don't know, I was travelling for work and vacation through most of August and the first part of September.  I'm home and I've actually ridden my horse and it was great! Yahoo!

Just an update on my previous fosters.
She's Got Wings - Adoption Pending
Sea Dar - Available
Soothe The Soul - Available (perfect husband horse)
Saribel Cruz - Available

It just now occurred to me that all of their registered names begin with S.  How weird is that?  Anyhow, visit the FFI website for information on them including pictures and video.

Saribel Cruz (aka Flirt) has been started over ground poles and little Xs.  She is doing really well and is going to make someone a REALLY nice horse.  She's only just turned 4 and is just shy of 16h, so I think she'll probably finish around 16.1 when its all said and done. Someone needs to snatch her up!

Our tracks will be closing in a couple weeks for the winter.  That means that new horses will be available soon.  The date of the track sale has not yet been announced, but I'll certainly put it up here when it is!  I'll have new fosters in at that time and will certainly post about them here.

Let me know what you're doing with your horses and how the summer went.  Just reply to this thread to keep in touch!

PostHeaderIcon Fabulous Flirt

I had a really excellent ride on Flirt today. Instead of having any preconceived hopes of what we would accomplish, I just focused on having a calm ride. It worked! She was great, despite the "dance of the riding lawn mowers" going on across the road. Apparently it was a good day to mow the lawn. ;) Anyhow, Flirt took everything in stride. She had a very nice, relaxed trot. Transitions to walk came easily. Lots of walking on a long rein. She was fabulous. And so different than last weekend. We're definitely going to have to deal with her issues of working with another horse. However, I'm thrilled with how well she did today on her own. This filly is going to make somebody a *really* nice horse. Know anyone who wants a (nearly) 16h 2005 dark bay TB mare? Send them to Friends of Ferdinand. The website link is above. :)

I also rode Jewel. After nearly 3.5 months off due to various injuries, it was great to have a ride where I feel like she actually worked some.

I have lessons scheduled with both mares tomorrow with Sarah-Jayne Bower. She's a British Riding Club certified instructor. I'm looking forward to them. The vet is also coming out to do exams on Wings (aka Smoke) and Sully. She's also going to do a health certificate and coggins for Magic, who will be leaving for home next week some time.

I'm showing Sully tonight to a potential adopter. I think it will go really well. He's a super nice horse. Stay tuned to find out what happens! :)

PostHeaderIcon Welcome Soothe The Soul

I have a new foster horse - Soothe The Soul. "Sully" as he's known, is a former FFI horse that was originally adopted in 2006, but whose owner fell on some hard times. He's a 1999 Chestnut gelding who happily w/t/c under saddle. He's come back to the program to find a new home. Pictures coming soon!
