Wow it's been a while since I was in here but I havre really great news. I have been leasing Baby aka Simply Noble for one year today and I am completing her purchase in a few days. I just love her so much she's awesome on the trails.
Last August I took her to an event called a judged trail ride. they have ten obstacles over the course of about a 2 hour ride. Baby and I were entered in two categories.
breed: standardbred/thoroughbred
Age group (rider) 25-40
We placed 2nd in the breed group there was only one other standardbred and one thoroughbred. The thoroughbred won it.
And we placed 5th in the age division which probably had at least 20 entrants.
Can't wait to get to more of these events this summer.
All of the people boarding wher I keep her are impressed with how level headded and good she is and several are looking for horses and are interested in the breed. Baby has developed the reputation of being good company for nervous young horses that are learning to be trail horses because she does not react to their nervousness or give them something to react to.
I am contiuing to update her original owber who raced her as they continue to have an interest in how she is doing in her post race carrer.
I see there are lots of lurkers reading the posts here. You can see ther have been so few new posts I hope some of you decide to join in. I really like this website but it must be tough for it's owner to keep it up and running with so little support. Please everyone join in and lets talk about our wonderful standardbreds. And if you don't have one yet well please jump in and ask questions. I will try to get back here mroe and help the poor lonley admin with them.;
