One seemingly small action can be a catalyst for greater change. Take Abijah's on the Backside, a fledgling aftercare and therapy organization based within the walls of Canterbury Park's shed rows that is fueled by a desire to help retired racehorses recover and transition, with an equal emphasis on helping humans do the same.

With only a little over three months left until the Thoroughbred Makeover, Dom and I are on a cycle of ride/train, eat, sleep, work, repeat. We continue our dressage lessons, work on the canter, try to get more of a right bend in every gait, and do more sitting trot work. But there are only so many times I can go around in a circle, cross a diagonal, make a serpentine, or go down the center or quarter line before we get antsy and are ready for something new!
