horse’n around town
Now I’m off to Lone Larch to try it out on their horses.
BGD Ranch’s Caspians
The Seuferts have the most beautiful herd of Caspians. These little horses, standing around 11-12 hh, are very sweet and gentle.

Tribute to Eight Belles
Big Brown wins the Kentucky Derby but our hearts go out to Eight Belles.
Epona Stables
Epona Stables is a friendly small private barn in Southlands, where there are equestrian estates right in Vancouver. There is also great trail riding available there! If you are interested in a Standardbred, Felicia specializes in their retraining off the track. Due to making technical errors with the camera (wrong settings!!) all the photos I [...]
100 miles in under 6.5 hours!!
Omair Hussain Al Beloushi on 11-year-old Charlandre Al Sharif set a world record for a 160-km endurance race. And they did it in style with incredible recoveries. Talk about a training program!! Congratulations!
Standardbred racing at Fraser Downs
Off to the track on a nice Sunday afternoon…
old history, me and my previous horses
I am looking for my old equine massage therapy page to put up again (I really need to start working, lol!!) and I found photos from my old site when I had Abu Dhan and Delight. I couldn’t resist posting them!

“20,000 Miles on a Horse”
Here is a film I really want to see: Two men (a Russian and American) ride on horseback from from the Southern tip of Argentina (Tierra del Fuego), to the Northern edge of Alaska (the Bering Sea). The best part is that they filmed everything…

Darginka
Here are some new photos of Darginka. She is almost shed out.
Note: Darginka didn’t get any joy from her new boyfriend as he is a gelding.
Contribution of the Akhal-Teke to the English Thoroughbred
I can’t resist writing this note, since Teke people like to state that the Teke is the precursor to the English Thoroughbred. Unfortunately I do not have time to write a review, but here is an overview:
a walk, training week 2, more ponies and a llama
Our entire family have gone for a couple of nice walks on the dike in between storms. Darginka is coming along well and certainly getting more energy! Drew is working well with her. Emma loves to go to the pony pen and watch the little ponies. I’m still waiting for that llama to spit on us!
Training begins! (and some pony fun)
I think I’ve lucked out with our trainer Drew. He is calm and thorough and isn’t rushing the training. His biggest problem seems to be that I have trained Darginka to come in to me and follow me and now Drew has to teach her to go out to lunge. She doesn’t get the circling [...]
