The 2024 USDF FEI Trainers Conference was absolutely inspiring. Sven Rothesburger and Sabine Schute-Kerry said a LOT of things that got me excited to get to work but the biggest message they sent out was this: Whatever you do, do it well. Everything. Every transition, every circle, every line. Do it to the absolute best of your ability. You’re always either training or untraining. If you get sloppy, you’re untraining. Ride everything for an 8!

I woke Mr Cajun up from his nap to go outside.
He is currently rehabbing a mechanical founder that was discovered shortly after purchase (still kicking myself for not doing a PPE 🤦‍♀️).

This sweet 4yo OTTB gelding has been on GutX since day 1 of his arrival and his demeanor about 3 months of stall rest has been fantastic! His tummy is happy, even though he’s stuck on rest.

We have been given the go-ahead to start with light turn out so I am hoping to see this dude flourish and settle into a low level dressage career.

Have you had to put a horse on stall rest and they became very angry? It could be belly aches from the stress. GutX had been the best thing for this fella.

Ever dealt with Mechanical Founder? Tell me your story in the comments!!

Conditioning - one of the biggest things missed at the lower levels of eventing. It's not just for the horse but the rider too. So proud of Lexa and Gianna for conditioning their horses as well as themselves.

We are SO excited to introduce our new sponsor, 100X Equine !!

We put Spartan on the OsteoMax and within a month we could feel a difference in his body and the fluidity of his movements. He's much more comfortable with the extra joint support. So much so, that we have put ALL our lesson horses on and two boarders.

Another product that we have started our OTTBs on is . A gastric supplement to help heal and prevent ulcers and gives them the support their bellies need to keep them happy.

I have started my homebred Trakehner, Charley on the which is a muscle builder and support supplement. Dressage training requires a lot of muscles so helping him build his muscles and helping them recover after a ride is very important to me.

I'd you're interested in giving 100X Equine products a try, use this code for $20 off!

NEWCASTLE

(Hailo *Pg*E* x Donaufurst *Ps*E*)

2021 c**t, mature 17h

Tall, dark, and handsome with an Olympic pedigree!

"Newsie" is bred to excel in dressage or in the hunter ring. He has a bold, friendly disposition and could also succeed as an eventer or showjumper.

Newcastle's sire, Hailo *Pg*E*, has a winning record through Grand Prix dressage and won the ATA Verband Plaque in 2003 as the association's most successful dressage horse. In 2005, Hailo *Pg*E* was USEF's 11th top ranked performance sire out of over 1200 stallions; in 2007, he improved that ranking to 3rd nationally. His offspring consistently achieve successful records in dressage, eventing, hunters and showjumping, with several reaching Grand Prix level in dressage and showjumping.

Newcastle's damsire, Donaufürst *Ps*E*, was a champion hunter in Canada who later transitioned quickly to a successful FEI dressage career in the United States. Donaufürst *Ps*E*'s sire Mahagoni was ranked tenth in the world for producing competitive CDI Grand Prix Dressage Horses internationally, such as the famous Peron *Pg*E* who earned a team bronze medal in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Donaufürst *Ps*E*'s dam, Donaufahrt vom Shimmelhof, was the full sister to Donauwind *E*, the sire of Abdullah *Pg*E*, who earned a team gold medal and an individual silver medal in Show Jumping the 1986 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Newsie already has excellent ground manners: he ties, clips, bathes, loads, and stands for the vet/farrier like a much older horse, a testament to his purpose-bred temperament. Contact Sarah for more information! Located in Havana, FL.
