Bindle Stick – Available for Adoption!
Thursday, January 17 2013
by Editor
Meet 7 year old, 16hh Thoroughbred gelding “Bindle Stick” now available for adoption from our Marysville, OH facility! Just one look at those big, bright eyes and dainty face and you can’t help but be drawn to him as he looks over his stall gate just waiting for anyone to come down the aisle and pay attention to him. He is so adorable that you just want to squeeze him! One look at his pedigree and it is no wonder that he is smart and athletic too. He has a finer build allowing him to be very athletic and light on his feet and he is also very intelligent proving that by the way he goes to work when asked to. Bindle has shown us that he is a very confident horse as well by just trotting over the little flower boxes as if they weren’t even there and then was very proud of himself, looking around the arena to make sure everyone was watching him. He is quite the show off in turn out as well, as he very cleverly took his pasture mates halter off and proceeded to trot around the pasture swinging it around for all to see what he had done! Bindle gets along well with his turn out buddies and is the class clown of the group. His donor retired him because he believed the horse would rather be someone’s pet than a race horse anymore and that seems to be very true! Bindle raced almost every month for 3 ½ years; he had his down time and is now ready for a new career.

I can’t believe another year has come and gone. My parents always used to tell me that the older you get, the faster time moves. I never believed them, but I certainly do now! I always love the beginning of a new year, and the opportunity for a fresh start

Horses Really Are Amazing! Watch A Video of The Budweiser Clydesdales In Training
Wednesday, January 09 2013
by Editor
By Jan Westmark-Allan Showing at WEF! Enter our contest! Sometimes, in the midst of cleaning stalls, feeding, grooming and paying the bills for our lovely equines, it can be easy to forget how amazing horses really are. Then we have a great ride, experience a wonderful bonding moment with our horses or turn on the TV and see a Budweiser commercial featuring the grand Budweiser Clydesdales. Ok, you may be wondering why I threw the Budweiser Clydesdales in – but it’s a simple answer
