maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Oct 7, 2018 2:14:00 GMT Meet Skip Skip is an OTTB that belonged to Willows old friend, Bessa. Bessa is a nice woman but she tends to overestimate her riding ability. She believed that she could train an off the track horse easily in a few months. When this expectation was greatly disappointed she sought out to sell her little Ottb. Skip is such a kind and honest little horse that Willow is already in love with. His main flaw is that he can be a little skittish and distrustful with new people. He spent a while chilling in the pasture before going into light and non stressful work! He loves to sleep and go on trail rides!

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Oct 7, 2018 2:18:09 GMT Meet Scooter Scooter is a mustang that Willow acquired from a mustang makeover challenge. She worked with him for 100 days and had so much fun! Scooter is a brave and kind of indifferent to everything. He likes treats and to bully Saint. His curiosity and easy going attitude convinced Willow to buy him at the end of the challenge. He will now live the rest of his days here and have a very easy life!

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Oct 7, 2018 2:20:38 GMT Meet Noble Noble is a very young Russian Riding Horse with training in dressage. She is owned by our barn manager and will eventually be trained to be an eventer. Noble is such a sweetheart although she can be kind of shy. Noble is very willing to work but can get very flustered if she doesn’t understand what you are asking. Noble likes to graze in the pasture and nap in the shade. She really loves performing the extended trot in the ring.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Oct 7, 2018 2:35:20 GMT Meet Gizmo Gizmo is Suzannes, our barn manager, horse that she uses for eventing. He is a very kind soul despite his size. That is why his name, Bête Amicale, is Friendly Beast in french (home of the Percheron horse). Although he is well past the age of a young colt, he continues to act youthful. Giz is a very handsome and versatile horse with a great jumping technique (due to the fact that he is half thoroughbred). Giz loves to ride cross country and to eat, a lot.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Oct 7, 2018 2:43:28 GMT Meet Sam Sam or Sammy is a new horse here at MWE, he arrived with his owner Adam Burch. He's a half brother to Chai and really looks like her in a way. He is young and very silly, so there will be a lot of training involved before he's ready to show. Sam is a kind soul with a love for rearing. He enjoys rearing while being ridden, rearing while being groomed, and rearing in the pasture. We are working on his um…. hobby. Sammy loves to mess around wether at work or play!

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Oct 7, 2018 5:28:02 GMT Meet Atlas Atlas is fairly new here at MWE and we just can't get enough of his sweet face!! He is a draft warmblood mix 7 year old stallion. He has some show experience in the low hunters with the potential to go higher. We don't know much about his personality other than he is a gentleman mostly except when dealing with ponies (hates them). We cant wait to learn more about this pretty boy!!

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Oct 7, 2018 5:34:12 GMT Meet Vogue Vogue is another new horse at MWE. She is a beautiful 8 year old Knabstrupper mare with training in showjumping. She is so eye catching and talented that we almost cant believe she's here! She keeps to herself most of the time and isn't very affectionate but her and Java seem to get along very well!! We have been letting her settle in and then we will ride her. Super excited!!!

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Oct 7, 2018 5:38:48 GMT Meet Lady Lady is our final horse to introduce!! (for now lol) Lady or London Lady is a 4 year old OTTB that we purchased. She is currently on a 10 month break after her final race but after that we will begin her training. Lady is well, a dork. She has more leg than she knows what to do with and she is so sweet and funny that sometimes we wonder if she is part dog. Lady loves to play and run (typical thoroughbred). She can be a little mouthy and babyish but she is so adorable that we let it slide.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Oct 7, 2018 5:45:59 GMT Highlights from the past few days Our first ride at home on Atlas was a total success!! He was so well balanced and responsive, an absolute dream boat!! Can't wait to jump him soon!! Suzanne jumped Moose at home this week and he was very good!! We love how he's been doing but I think we will do some grid work soon to really work on his form! ANOTHER FIRST!! Our first ride on baby Pixie!! I was brought to tears at how grown our pretty girl acted and how beautiful she looked. We just walked and trotted but I can already tell she is going to do great things! (also she has on a very dark saddle pad but it is definitely there)

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Nov 20, 2018 17:50:35 GMT Baby Horses Lungeing Apollo has just recently been brought into work. He is Aphrodite's latest and probably last foal. He is owned by Anne and will be trained in eventing (maybe some light hunters depending on how he comes along). This was his first time being lunged and he was shaking in his boots. He got better towards the end of the session tho. (completely unedited picture and it looks kinda ew) Perry also had his first lungeing experience! He was less terrified and more sassy like his mother. He is RubyXCin's foal. He will be trained to be a hunter or a jumper depending on his movement and temperament. (also unedited and gross) So Lady isnt as baby as the other two but she has been recently started in the round pen! She has been out in a pasture for about 8 months straight off of the track so hopefully we can start her under saddle in a few weeks!

When the halter comes out, my calm and collected gentleman is no more... Seven also had a little run around the ring! Doesn't she look awesome, we switched to a different feed for her and it has helped fill her out so much
