Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Stories: Exciting Journey With Jonny Be Bueno

The first time Marisa Isbell rode Jonny Be Bueno at Redwings Horse Sanctuary in Paso Robles, Calif., she could feel that he was a special horse. Even from the walk, she could tell that he was attempting to communicate with her and understand her with every leg aid that she applied.

Jonny seemed eager to converse with Marisa through the only way they could: body language. He was an incredibly sensitive horse, so he always responded right away, eager to figure out what Marisa asked.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Building on an Existing Foundation

Well, ’tis the season where it’s hard to fit everything into a day. Being at the track almost full time plus slogging through tax season definitely does not leave time for consistent riding on one special bay gelding.

In the past, when I get this busy and don’t have a seasoned horse, I end up forgoing riding completely. When I’m too busy to keep them going regularly, I also lack the energy for that “pre-ride” lunge.
