We are a couple (Gary & Cindy) and this blog will be a journal of our experience retraining a thoroughbred race horse who has come off the track ("OTTB" = Off Track Thoroughbred).

This is a picture of LBR's sire at Old Friends in KY...Thanks Rick!
Gary headed to the stables in the afternoon. After leading from the paddock and grooming, they headed directly to the dirt arena.
LBR was perfect today with only one half-halt required. They trotted ground poles which were spaced for single steps. The first time LBR trotted them evenly. The next time, LBR decided it would just be easier to jump them rather than pick his feet up through them. Oh well, we realize we probably have a hunter/jumper on our hands rather than a dressage horse
After the ride, Gary groomed LBR and returned him to his paddock for treats.

You're very welcome. He was definitely enjoying the snowy day at Old Friends that day. Glad you enjoyed the photo.
