all in Aftercare

In my experience with young horses it seems like when they have a first show experience as good as the one Maverick and I had, it really helps some light bulbs go on for them. Maverick has definitely followed suit in the weeks since my last update here.

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?

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.

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.
