Bandit Springs!
What a great ride in a beautiful site! The Bandit Springs ride is located in central Oregon in the Ochoco National Forest. They had a variety of rides, 30, 50, 80 and 100 miles with the 30 and 50 mile rides offered both days. There was even a Ride and Tie as well as 10, [...]
Horseshoe Lake CEI Challenge ride
What a wild ride that one was!! The Endurance Riders of Alberta held the Horseshoe Lake ride as a FEI/CEI 3* 160 km ride, as well as other distances. Darginka and I did the 25 mile (40 km) ride both days and Steven was our driver and groom extraordinaire! I didn’t take any photos, although [...]
Darginka- conformation
I have picked a few random photos of Darginka and analyzed her conformation to show that photo quality matters less than it appears. As you can see her lumbar-sacral placement is behind the point of the hip. You can see bridging on her spine (see inside oval in the last photo) as a result of [...]
Darginka free jumping
We took Darginka to the Farpoint Farms/Hobbit Hollows Open House and Free Jumping Competition. Darginka did very well, especially since we hadn’t tried this before. She placed mid pack, in general above the Thoroughbreds but below the warmbloods. The judge liked her and remarked that she is a very careful jumper and thought that she [...]
Darginka, spring 2010
(function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(“#px45 a”).lightBox({});});})(jQuery); Darginka did her second limited distance endurance ride at Rock Creek. The Rock Creek Roundup was a 30 mile ride and she moved out really well for 15 miles and then we pretty much walked the rest of the way except for a trot along the road at the end. Her ride time [...]
Pagoda & Darginka
Here are Pagoda and Darginka this spring. They are finally shed out (although still a bit fuzzy in some of the photos) and the weather has been great recently. Pagoda has been great under saddle and really loves being ridden. That was their first time inside and indoor arena and going over poles. Pagoda is [...]
HOTR endurance ride
That’s Darginka watching the 50 milers leave for their ride. It was good timing at sunrise and I managed to get a few photos of them. In my very last shot the sun rose and shone on the riders, oh man the light was perfect, but we had to get ready for our start in [...]
training begins
All the horses are now started under saddle. Akpay is very smooth with great gaits, Pagoda really seems to love being ridden, Darginka isn’t sure she wants to give up control yet and Davinia just loves any attention!
the Tekes in January
The horses are all healthy and happy, although a bit fat and fluffy and so they resemble cute ponies right now. Pagoda is finally healthy and we plan on breeding her to Habib this spring. I haven’t decided about breeding either Darginka or Akpay so if you are interested in a foal from either next [...]
Darginka’s new baby!
Yea! Darginka has finally delivered a healthy filly (by Habib Shael) Thanks to Brent and Grace (At Bolsin) for the photos!! I will be off to visit them this weekend to see our new baby (function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(“#px11 a”).lightBox({});});})(jQuery); You can see all of her photos on the Flickr photostream About her colour, it is very unlikely [...]
Darginka
We have bought an Akhal-Teke broodmare from Jennifer Bristow of RareEquine.com. Her name is Darginka and she is from Tito Pontecrvo’s breeding. Darginka is rated as an elite mare…
