My last race of the Evergreen summer meet gave us a beautiful day to play in the mud with some fast horses, the old boy ran a super race and was beat by 1 length for fourth in a great race that was so fun to watch. I was yelling so loud my voice still isn’t back 😅 As always, huge thank you to Bill, and to Russ for trusting me with your horses!

I sure appreciate my Tali mare coming to work for me all summer, on the long hot days and in the pouring rain, and for all her hard work in the mornings getting everyone ready for race day, for keeping me, our racehorses and jockeys safe, all while she’s in foal and due next summer. For not even having a full season of ponying under her belt she’s turned into a hell of a good pony horse. Her year off starts tomorrow, and is so well deserved. The barn will feel empty without her next season after the last three years of her racing, and then being my go- to pony horse. If this baby turns out to be half as nice as Tali is, I’ll be incredibly lucky.

📸 Thank you Angie!

Over the years I've known quite a few event riders who also galloped race horses, and in every single instance, they told me that the difference in required fitness is like night and day, that it is easier to gallop around Rolex or Burghley than to get down and ride a mile on a flying thoroughbred race horse.

One advanced event rider told me that he thought he was rock hard fit until the first day that he galloped a couple of sets at Finger Lakes. His exact words---

"I was almost too shaky to get off. When I did, I went down on my knees and barfed my guts up."

Maybe not such elegant phraseology, but probably dead accurate. In one Sports Illustrated article many years ago, they evaluated the fitness levels of athletes in a number of high intensity sports, and flat race jockeys were number one.

I would have an 800 credit score 🤣

“I’m downsizing” and other lies I tell myself.

Starting to look for a 3-4 horse trailer, must be 3/4 ton towable if any of my connections on here have anything. Gooseneck or bumper pull, not picky either way.

Willing to do a trade with cash on top for my recently rebuilt Logan 2 horse straight load, or to buy outright. Will travel to get it within reason in AB/ BC/ SK.

Don’t need fancy, don’t need pretty, open stock type trailers are fine, I can modify within reason. Don’t necessarily need a tack room, if it has one that’s a bonus but not a need, I pack very light.

Horse trainer budget, I don’t want your fancy six figure LQ, I don’t want anything brand new or flashy that’ll hurt my feelings when a horse inevitably wrecks it or something that’s going to fall apart on me if I hit a pot hole the wrong way, I just need something solid that’s ready to go to work.

Send me what you have.

I make some questionable choices in other departments, but damn can I ever pick nice horses 😍📸Helen Akerstrom

“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.”

Oh this is so Tali. They don’t make them with much more heart than her, she goes to work and is tough as nails when she has to be, she can be quirky, opinionated, sensitive and tricky at times, but put a little kid on her and she turns into a babysitter. There’s nothing like a good mare ❤️
