To many of my friends my infatuation with one specific horse may seem a bit absurd. I get it…but let me share this. After spending time with him again this week and witnessing the devisive country in which we all live Tiznow reminds me of a time when 1 horse brought our country together. When a blue collar California bred Thoroughbred beat the world just 6 weeks after 9/11. Hearing Tom Durkin scream “Tiznow wins it for America” gets me every time. Hopefully this clip of Tiznows story will brighten your day. I know it brightens my days!

I’m not sure why I haven’t received much attention for this incredible horse, but I would seize the opportunity on this guy. Remi has been with us going on 4 months. You get the benefit of him already having much needed downtime. This guy is as perfect as they come!

"Remy" is a 5 year old gelding, ready for his person to come find him. He has been with his trainer since her was a baby, and is very special to them. He has huge …

JC Double Jeopardy “Alex” first ride with us. This was about 3 weeks ago. Alex is doing amazing! He is all class and may be the most well known racehorse we’ve ever had in our program! We haven’t officially put him up for sale, but… let us know if you want a sneak peak!

One of the best race mares! A true legend.

One of the best race mares! A true legend.

Hello Handsome! Our new boy Final Jeopardy. Already a legendary racehorse and ready to be a legend in the sport horse world.

11/26/2022

The plan failed…we got a new horse. It took about a 100 No’s before we had to say YES! Here is JC Final Jeopardy truly the classiest race horse we’ve ever had. This boy ran in multiple graded stakes races placing in some of the best ones. He placed in the Dwyer! Ran in the wood memorial and the Peter Pan stakes. Super cool history and let’s just say pictures don’t even come close to doing him justice!

So great when the great racehorses go onto second careers!

So great when the great racehorses go onto second careers!

The 2020 Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) winner worked as the mount for NBC's Donna Barton Brothers as she interviewed winning rider Irad Ortiz Jr. upon his return from taking this year's edition aboard Elite Power.

This story makes me so happy! I posted it when it first came out but just realized the rider is Garret Gomez’s daughter. The hall of fame jockey who unfortunately passed away several years ago. This horse was a horse he bred before he died and fortunately for his daughter was not a great racehorse but clearly found his ability in the jumper world! Such a great story!!!

Amanda Gomez, the 19-year-old daughter of late Hall of Fame jockey Garrett Gomez, piloted her family's homebred off-track Thoroughbred to victory in a 1.30-meter, $10,000 Grand Prix on Aug. 14 at the Huntington Beach Summer Classic (California), reports The Chronicle Of The Horse.

These are hands down the best saddles on the market. They fit the horse better then any other and they make the rider be in the correct position. And to top it off they are durable and last for decades.

As tack goes, we think saddles are pretty important, so we wanted to take a minute to shoutout one of Helen’s long time Sponsors — Stübben NA

Stubben saddles are light, stylish, amazingly comfortable, fit the horse well, and are extremely secure, as evidenced by Helen sitting snug while casually dropping down the back of this massive jump. 🙌

Stubben saddles are wool flocked, so they are cooler for the horse, wicking heat and moisture off the back — very important for a long format cross country ride which is easily 13 mins long. Wool flocking also customizes to fit the horse perfectly, but is easy to change if the horse changes. Helen loves the wool flocking in Stubben saddles because they allow for this custom, secure fit, and we love anything that keeps Ebay happy to be honest! 🤍✨

Sherman JC Truco Trick. New videos coming soon, but thought I would let the world know we are going to actively start marketing this super special horse in the next 2 weeks. We have intentionally waited on this big guy to sell. He will officially be 4 on May 5th and weighs in at 1230 pounds. We take our time with horses like him because he is so willing and so big we thought it best for him to grow up a bit more. He is quite possibly the biggest OTTB we have had as far as body type. He is an easy keeper. Has zero tension. he will excel at so many disciplines. Sherman also has a recent PPE done by a Sports Medicine Veterinarian. He is cleared to do anything no limitations and the sky is literally the limit! Sn**ch him up before his price goes up.

Don't miss out on Jimmy! JC Lucky General. He is amateur friendly and has a recent PPE with a well known sports medicine Veterinarian. He is clear to do anything. You can not go wrong with this horse. He's the type you could go trail ride one day and show the next. Just a solid citizen looking for someone to shower him with love.

Our Sweet boy Jimmy JC Lucky General. He’s such a good boy that My 14 year old daughter is putting many of the initial rides on him. This is is his first canter since his race career under saddle. We take our time on the canter until the horse naturally falls into it. This guy is rare in that he’s very suitable for someone with limited experience. Don’t miss out on this angel!

Here is miss Quinnie! IMO she is pure perfection. She is incredibly light to the aides and just is a stunning mover. She has a HUGE jump! I can’t say enough great things about this mare. Please buy here before I sell my personal ride and keep her.
