all in Horse Country

I cannot believe I am already sitting down to write our May update for you all! What a busy month it has been. Salesman has been traveling all over and seeing different environments, learning more and more about his new job and all the fun and difficult things about horse show life!

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.

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.

As we approach May, I cannot believe that we are already five months away from the Thoroughbred Makeover in October and halfway through our training period. Overwhelming as that may seem, I feel so confident in Salesman and his progress. With five months to continue to take the foundation we have created in him at home, we will go on the road and start competing in eventing. I thought I would take some time to bring you in on what this last five months has included.

Brianna DiRocco-Toy’s journey to finding Summit County was far from straightforward. She tried 13 different horses, each one bringing her closer to her perfect match, yet none quite right. Initially, Summit County wasn’t even on her radar. Brianna had her eyes set on another horse, only to discover that it had too many limitations.
