Bridle Ridge Gaited Horses

10/27/2013

I would like to share a few video clips that my husband I took while riding out in the Black Hills of South Dakota last week. We go there every year for vacation. We absolutely love the variety of riding the Hills have to offer. Below are two links to some video we took of both my husband's mare and my mare being ridden barefoot. I can't thank Maureen enough for the guidance she has given me in helping me to get my horses to this level of soundness! Before, we could not even cross over the gravel road without every step being a gimp. I am amazed at the level of soundness we've been able to achieve using the HGM trim - and in such a short period of time. I started this trim method in March. My first consultation with Maureen was in February. Her advice at that time was to do nothing, as I had over-trimmed the hooves. The first HGM trim was in March and from then on, it's been amazing results/transformations for our horses' hooves. We have nine horses and they are doing so well now in their level of soundness. Thanks for letting me share!

I just updated our web site and gave it a new look. We are going to be selling our breeding program and so there are new horses for sale there. It's been a bittersweet decision to make but we've come to the point in our lives where we are ready to enjoy more time with family and friends, and enjoy more time in the saddle and less in the barn. If you see any typos or links that are not working, please let me know. I am reviewing it again and making tweaks as needed. Thanks for looking...

We got some good news over the weekend. We found out our HZ (homozygous) black blue roan mare, Koko Bean, is also HZ for the roan gene too. That was a pleasant surprised.

Starting in 2011, we will be offering only frozen semen on Future. He will become Jen and Tim's favorite riding gelding. This decision has been a hard one for us to but with the joys of being grandparents & wanting to free up more time for our family, friends & other interests, we have decided to geld Future and enjoy him. He's been a phenomenal stallion for us and will be an incredible gelding for us.
