Had another great day of coyote racing with Mecklenburg Hounds Inc Grey decided to celebrate with his best buddy Beau and have a splashing contest in the pond. Several staff and field views followed by a race to exit out over the creek. Very proud of Grey for gaining ground on the coyote at a dead gallop before his exit!❤️ #foxhunting #foxhuntinglife #foxhunter #foxhunt #foxhunters #ottb #ottblove #ottbsrock #ottbsdoitbetter #ottbfoxhunter #ottbfoxhunting #whipin #whipperin #staffplease #tallyho #greyhorse
Had a really nice day out with Mecklenburg Hounds Inc today! Several views of a very wiley coyote winding his way through the cover with our hounds hot on his trail before he made a break for the creek. Grey and I tried as hard as we could to turn him but he cleverly turned behind us and took the easy exit out over the creek. That is the second coyote race this season!!! #foxhunting #foxhuntinghorse #foxhuntinglife #foxhuntinghounds #coyoterace #coyotehunting #ottb #ottblove #ottbfoxhunter #ottbsgofasterthancoyotes #huntingwithhounds #foxhounds

Very proud of Madelyn for completing her first combined test with DW today! We headed up to Old Mill Farm Stables for their schooling show after not having been there for close to 25 years ago. I love this unique older barn, so happy to see it still in use! Thank you to the organizers, volunteers and officials for putting on such a great schooling show
This Grey horse is just AMAZING! He laid down such a perfect side saddle round Warrenton Horse Show Association this morning, I could not be prouder of him! #lovethishorse #lovethisottb #ottb #ottbs #ottbsrock #ottbsdoitbetter #stayonit #sidesaddle #sidesaddleriding #sidesaddlejumping #sidesaddlerider #sidesaddlelady #sidesaddlestyle #sidesaddlehorse #sidesaddlehabit #ottbsidesaddle #warhorse #rideaside #aside
Could not be prouder of Jackson going out and hunting today for the first time ever! This is definitely something I never thought he would be able to handle mentally. He had a couple of anxious moments but clearly loved the hounds and even got lead them home. Of course the highlight for him was splashing with friends in the pond. So happy to make him happy❤️ #ottb #ottbs #ottbsrock #ottblove #ottbsdoitbetter #foxhunting #foxhunt #foxhuntinglife #foxhunter #foxhunters #ottbfoxhunter #foxhuntinglife

Five years. Five years is how long I have waited for this moment. Five years ago was the last time this horse jumped and galloped around an event. Five years ago the last event he did, I made a very stupid mistake, missed a jump an easy jump on cross country and was eliminated. Little did I know that that was supposed to be his last run. Diagnosed with multiple soft tissue injuries and bone cysts, his future was bleak. My vet said he would be lucky to be pasture sound and treatments were limited to none. I was going through one of the roughest parts of my life and this just compounded everything. All I could do was just let him live the most comfortable life he could, whatever that was. Hung up hopes, shelved dreams. But as time passed he healed and grew sounder. We had a failed re-start, he still wasn’t quit right, threw him back out to the wait. Finally last year he was able to be re-started and stayed sound! Got better, could jump again, felt great! Made some plans but of course injuries, thankfully minor and continued. This is the culmination of five years of patience. Most would have given up and sent him along but I just couldn’t do that to him. He deserved more than that. I finally was able to make it up to him, my silly mistake five years ago and ride him through the finish. I had no idea that day walking off course, that could have been the last time. Thankfully I was given another chance to make it up to him and ride him home again. You just never know when it could be the last time❤️#actionjackson #ottb #ottbs #ottbsdoitbetter #ottbsrock #ottbsrule #ottbsarethebest
