Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: First Show for Teddy Spaghetti a Great Success

Wow, did Teddy Spaghetti have a great day today! I had consciously decided to not dedicate this month’s blog solely to his first horse show – but as I am sitting down to write this after just getting back, I don’t know how I can’t. He was an absolute superstar, and I could not be prouder.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: A Great Way to Kick Off a Second Career!

Young horses have a tendency to improve by leaps and bounds once certain things about the job they’re being asked to do start to click. That has certainly been the case with Maverick since my last installment.

For a while I thought I was way behind schedule for my plan to take him to his first show in early May. But the second half of April was full of huge improvements under saddle, so I decided to enter him in the Sayre Horse Show at Masterson Station.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Steady Progress Toward Two Bright Futures

Time is absolutely flying by with Imposing Ruler (Henry) and Gray Magician (Gray). I am no stranger to bringing along multiple horses at a time, but two horses on the fast-track to the Thoroughbred Makeover is a more daunting task. Even though both of my mounts are working toward the same goal, the two could not be more different.

Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Stories: A New Chapter for Arrogate Ocean

Born on Jan. 30, 2020, Arrogate Ocean was bred to be a racehorse. However, after it became clear that life on the track wasn’t the right fit for him, he found his way to New Vocations, a Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance-accredited organization dedicated to retraining and rehoming retired racehorses.
