Training a young Thoroughbred to be ridden should be a slow and deliberate process. You do not want to scare him and cause life-long issues. Saint Lawrence is so confident and quiet because of all the ground work done ahead of time. Bubba helped teach Saint Lawrence how to ride alongside another horse. Walking over poles is the first lesson for jumping.

We love getting updates from the people who purchase our off-the-track Thoroughbreds. In the case of Tillo and Eleanor’s Groom’s owner – Lydia Dequine, we got to really learn about where these former race horses live. We have just completed the new Web site for Flying Horse Ranch. Check it out and give Lydia a call if you would like to have a special event at the ranch.

Saturday was the perfect Fall day for taking a trail ride to the North Georgia Mountains. Dawson Forest is not that far from our farm and there are over 5000 acres of wooded trails to ride on. We loaded up three Thoroughbreds – one who had never been trail riding, and met up with two more Thoroughbreds owned by friends who purchased their off-the-track Thoroughbreds from Bits & Bytes Farm.

“Morgan” is our newest Thoroughbred Horse For Sale. He is a 2009, 16.2 hand chestnut gelding who is recovering from an injury. He could go back to racing. We would prefer to place him into a home that is less stressful than racing – a dressage or pleasure career will keep him safe and sound. He is only three and we expect that he will finish growing at about 17 hands!

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Bob Walker. He heard his final call for “Going Home” Tuesday afternoon while surrounded by his family. It is a significant loss to foxhunting communities in both the US and Ireland. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Walkers. Many of you may remember Bob, who with his wife Mary provided loyal hunt service to both the Shamrock Hounds and later the Bear Creek Hounds.
