Not Tonight Bobby killing it with Ruth Bowman. We are blessed to have amazing race trainers and owners that choose FRF & Take The Lead - Sporthorse Rescue to responsibly retire their racehorses and phenomenal trainers that take our horses and get them performing to their fullest potential.

Maybe this is why I seem to end up with so many mares here at Merson Hill , I have a certain affinity with them ;)

“There’s something different about the way a good mare connects with her rider. It’s special. Like an unspoken agreement. Once a mare chooses you as her person, it’s like she has an instinct to protect you, to fight for you. It’s almost as if she takes ownership of you.
I believe the good mares have a deep sense of intuition. They can read your mind. They know what you’re thinking even before you do. The good mares I know breathe fire in the face of challenge and then somehow, miraculously, know to quiet themselves when a timid child is plopped on their back for a pony ride.
They are clever, cunning and calculated, which can be your greatest enemy or your saving grace. The good mares I know do not tolerate egotistical riding. They do not tolerate force. They demand tact, finesse and emotional control. But once you have won a mare’s heart, you have won all of her. In exchange for your best—and nothing less—she will give you everything.”

For people coming up to Merson Hill, I have been receiving complaints about the speed from private residents on Nelson Drive and residents on our private driveway.
I just ask everyone if you could please respect the speed limit on the private driveway of 15kms and around 30kms on Nelson Dr.
There are multiple residents with pets and horses from the farm on the driveway and road.
Thankyou for understanding and cooperating.

Can't wait to get her started under saddle , as I know she will be a gem.
