Thank you Dene for the beautiful pictures, Robin and Jennifer for my stunning perfect new whip, Emma for leasing me her saddle for the season, Tennessee Valley Hunt for the opportunity to learn so much more about this incredible sport with even more incredible animals, Trilogy Performance Saddlery and Jennifer for keeping me and my horses happy and comfortable during these more demanding rides, Julie for being such an awesome teacher, and of course Ringo, for really stepping up to being a whip horse and taking everything so in stride.
When Horse Haven of Tennessee calls, I’m always curious what crazy thing I’m gonna be helping with next. Ringo was a very pushy, occasionally aggressive stud when he first came to my farm. He had some fear, which he still internalizes some today, but was mainly just so focused on the other horses and wanting to be a baby daddy that he didn’t have much concern or respect for people at all. After the amazing Pinnacle Equine Hospital castrated him, Nolan has worked to get passed his farrier aggression and foot soreness, Hallway and Agri Feed Pet Supply helping his condition blossom, he has really come along to be still a bit quirky but truly such a unique horse that I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to give a home and a job. And of course, a huge thank you to all of the workers who have helped with him to also help him get to where he is today. It’s the best feeling these days seeing those little ears see me and come trotting up from his pasture that he keeps perfectly manicured to see what he gets to do today.💙
