Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Dynamic Duo Finding Their Stride

I can’t believe it’s June already – it feels like just yesterday I was updating everyone on the April progress of the dynamic duo. But alas, there are 18 weeks and 2 days until Oct. 8 – the official start of the Thoroughbred Makeover - but who’s counting?

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 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.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Turning a Corner in Training with Salesman

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.
