Our baby was absolutely amazing. We are so grateful to have made it to the competition and couldn’t be more proud of our boy. He was so relaxed at the park despite the chaos and tried his little heart out. We couldn’t have made it this far without our incredible support system. Huge shout outs go to Stepping Stone Stables for allowing us to bring a 5 year old OTTB to the farm 😅 and all of the barn family for cheering us on for the past 10 months. Paige Blunt Liptak for all of the help with XC and SJ lessons (and lots of emotional support to Marissa Matthews) Maddi Karlovec for giving curly the bestest massages and making him feel so good. Jamie Klements for also helping to keep his body happy and supple. Heath Harter for helping us get his feet in order. A massive thank you to Debbie Lewis (it won’t let me tag you!) for helping us sort out his emotional baggage and his temper tantrums! To our family members for supporting this CRAZY adventure.

But the BIGGEST shout out goes to Kate Fitzpatrick Dalton for trusting us with , for driving 8 hours to support us at the and for putting the best start on the best thoroughbred ever.

Stay tuned for more awesome adventures!

Here’s a sneak peak at Curly’s first career!

*he is the handsome bay in the blue and yellow*

Curly raced in steeplechase with owner/breeder Kate Dalton. He had a total of 8 starts and $3,100 in earnings. He might not have been the fastest bay boy on the track but he was definitely the cutest!!!!

Love this guy! Since his step-brother went to an event this weekend, peeked at the liver pool and pulled a rail, Curly got to play with the tarp on . Wish I had video but Later in the ride, there was chainsawing and trees being felled… he was completely non-plussed and stayed with me practicing circles. What cool dude 😎

Curly was a super star today at his first schooling dressage show. It was the first time in a dressage ring, with mirrors and a judges table. He handled it beautifully. He is such a cool kid! Thank you so much to Milestone Stables for putting on these schooling shows. Such a great way to introduce Curly to dressage 💞

Curly’s first trip to Aiken, SC was a blast. He traveled great and enjoyed a good roll in the sand when we got there. He thought all the XC questions at the Vista were easy peasy:
banks ✅ water ✅ ditches ✅
He even showed off his lead changes 💞
This horse is so cool 😎!

Hello!
My name is Pull Rank- but everyone calls me Curly. I am a 5 year old Thoroughbred and spent the first 4 years of my life on the track competing in Steeple Chase. I am now loved dearly by two amateur riders who are teaching me how life off the track works. The three of us will be competing in the 2023 Thoroughbred Make Over in October.

Stay tuned for progress and cuteness updates!
