I have a PONY FOR SALE!

    Lady Farah Bask is a 14.1 Morab mare who has started training in eventing, h\j, and dressage. She has been re-trained using correct methods with time spent on correct movement and bend and just started jumping beginning of June. Would make a gutsy kid a wonderful mount for Pony Club, or a small adult a wonderful all around mount. I am riding her in the photo, and at 5'5" I still look quite right for her. Given some more time and training she would make a wonderful childrens hunter mount with more miles under saddle. Asking 3,900$ ONO or negotiable but price will change with training and showing. Special pricing to show homes and professionals
WILL BE ADDING PHOTO'S REGULARLY on her facebook album here
She has impressive Arabian bloodlines with Bask++ and other prominent Polish lines, her pedigree can be found at here

Spring Show round-up

 I've been out of blogger land for a bit. I have been so busy!!! Super Kid is doing fine, a mystery soreness has left training on hold, sucks bro. She did so well at our two spring shows. IEA got our best dressage score ever a 35% !!! So excited about that, we have been working so hard on dressage and it finally paid off!! BUTTT  like Bad Eventer I misses two xc jumps in my excitement over jumping the ditch (i hate ditches) so we where TE, darn! Its okay, total learning experience.
Thank you CH Photography

We are done showing right now. SK came up short in a hind leg and has been on vacation until I can get monies to pay for a vet. She's still her happy, peppy self just something's not right. Rhyme has decided to have freakish shoulders and since he's been in constant work he's gotten buff and now we have zero saddles that fit him, ON TOP OF ALL THAT both my schooling boot AND show boots zippers have broken. So I haven't been riding unless it is bareback and thats sketchy on baby warmbloods. There is a faint light at the end of the tunnel, with a possible re-location on the distant horizon.
Here's an amazing song that has kept me looking up these past few months

Penny Oaks

 We ended up in 11th!!! Huge accomplishment for us, just outside the ribbons. Warm-up for dressage was awesome but we lost it as soon as we got in the ring, dressage score put us in 14th.
Before Stadium,my wonderful coach Robert and his adorable daughters


Cross country, the course was easy, vary straight forward, lots of galloping space. We suited up and sprayed our new decorations on (a star and arrow on her hindquarters) Pony warmed up nicely and was ready to go. As we are walking to the start box somebody has a fall at the first jump, greaat just was my nerves needed, she was fine and we wait for the person in front of us to go. They had a refusal every single jump, it was a young horse I believe so I didn't want to pass and have it freak out. Even though I trotted a lot of the course we still had good time and only had one refusal (sunrise jump if you've ever been to the HHP, thank goodness they painted over it) 

            We finished the event right outside the ribbons, 11th. 
We have been dealing with the dreaded S word(stiffness) for a week now. I blame the insane weather, it has been raining and the ground soft until this week, the temp. skyrocketed , muggy\buggy, and the ground turned to cement. She is 15 so I knew in the back of my mind we would start dealing with a little arthritis but its honestly a godsend that she's not full blown crippled like Arrow who we couldn't even ride until we finally got Adaquan i.m into him, now he is 100%. So sometime this summer I will have the vet come out and take a look at her legs. The one that is particularly bothering her is the one where there is an old tendon injury, right hind fetlock. Rhyme is going, well. We haven't had any hip issues and are restarting in serious training. Including jumping, we free jumped him and he has springs, big fancy springs that only come out when he has to actually jump aka above 2'8 (we went up to 3'4 i think) He's so cute.
    In other news I have a training pony
Look at my face

So cute

I had her a week and she lost about 50lbs, she's chunkyyy
Welcome to fat pony bootcamp Lady Farah Bask, 10yr old Morgan\ Arab mare about 14.2h . She came about 200lbs overweight, with a ponytude. She is now about 100lbs down and as nice as a puppy but still sassy. Her owners are downsizing to two equines and she needed a job. Farah will make a FANTASTIC young adult or small adult all around horse. She is excelling in basic dressage and lunging over small cross-rails, she will make a great eventer once she gets that experience under her belt. She will need someone who wont be afraid to get after her when she's snotty. I'll be putting an ad out for her once she's lost about 100 more pounds, she's wearing a x-wide gullet on her saddle right now, plus a crupper because of the zero withers.
