Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Taking Things Day by Day With Mr Nobility

Well, here we are. Two weeks away from Thoroughbred Makeover, the big event that so many of us have been working tirelessly toward for the last 6-8 months. This update is not the one I want to be writing, and comes to you a week after I spent the day at King Animal Hospital, waiting for Mr Nobility to receive laser scarification on his soft palate.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Final Countdown for Drafted and Widget

This month marks my final update before the big Thoroughbred Makeover event in October, and it’s been quite a stressful ride! The biggest concern has been ensuring that both of my horses are fully prepared for the makeover show. Have I done everything possible to get them ready? Can I somehow keep them in a bubble to prevent any major injuries before the event? The list of worries goes on! Each horse is at a different stage in their training, with their own set of unique challenges.
