Oh judith,
I love them!!!
Mr.T is really pretty wish I could see more..
And Stealing Kat!!! Perfect name...... I put kat in front of all my colts.....
Way cool to see them doing other things other than just racing...
Very nice...
What would horses like dutch cost??

[Judith]

One of my biggest pet peeves is that horses from the racing industry are just dumped after their careers. When I looked for a stallion I wanted a horse that could produce babies that ran but once they had finished up they could move on to another sport. Mr. T is stamping the kids with his bone and also his brain. Very few people think he is TB, often mistaken for a warmblood. Very calm and together. If a mare is nasty I won't breed her. I am constantly pissing people off by refusing to service mares that are bad tempered but I also know that in the end of the day every fault is the stallions fault. I think we are starting to see the fruits of our labors. I couldnt be happier.
Katrina, I have no idea what a baby like Dutch would go for but I assume with his training they probably have a 10K tag on him. One of T's son's just went through the Ocala sale for 13K as an unraced baby. We will see him on the track in the spring.

One of the things I love about this stud is his soft eyes, he is such a kind ole boy. I know his eyes can't run but it tells you alot about his heart, it is very rare for a TB to race into there 10th year. He is truely one of a kind. ( if I sound like a love sick teeny I am!!!! I can admit it!

I am really impressed.... I have a friend who is nuts about TBs. And I like the long refined necks and usually nice heads on TBs.. Girl you got a good thing going...
Being a western girl, on the jumper pictures, how can a little strap hold that saddle on plus the rider??? IF I were to try that it would be ugly all over the place....

[Judith]

I ride both english and western. I'm not a petite wee thing by any stretch. Built like a tank! I am also not a "pretty" rider. I'm quiet in the seat but not invisible.
With that information, I find english saddles slip alot less than the western ones do. Most saddles can stay in place even without the little strappies.So no it would'nt be ugly all over the place you goof!
Also most of us have been thrown in a saddle without a girth to "improve balance" (Yikes crash) The saddles do most of the work for you they just don't move that much. I don't think I am brave enough to ride in a western rig without a cinch.......Hmmmm maybe something new to try. Judith contemplates going out to ride but cannot get coffee pot off head.....grrrr....

[katrina]

We would be twinsies I'll bet...... Someday I'll be up to ride with you.

[Judith]

Any time Katrina!

WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION GIRL!!!!!!!!! LOL

[Nicky]

You guys are too funny! That's a very impressive website Judith!

We were in Manitoba training bird dogs at our friends place a couple years ago (I ride western) and my horse stepped in badger hole right out of the place, pulled out of it with no problem and on we went. About 15 minutes later (going along at a good clip) another person said my cinch was hanging...I thought he meant loose - nope. Offside latigo broke in two! Never moved a bit...I love my saddle
