Another OTTB

Sinduda isn't that the coolest name, 5yo dark bay gelding yea!!! the gelding bus has made another stop!!, 15.3hh yea!!! playful personality, sound yea!! don't see that to often , too slow to be a successful racehorse.Asking $2000 Horse is located at Pleasanton Track, Pleasanton umm.....where is pleasanton, CA pretty pony, pretty pony, why liveth so far away, pretty pony??

ok as always

red is bad bad bad

green is oh goody!!

pink is kinda not good

blue is my comments

isn't he a cutie?? i think i like this one better than the last one. (at least he's gelded)

and the price would be about the same as the last one after you gelded the other one, so price isn't a big deal, wow the only bad thing i found was he lives in california (too far away if you ask me)

i REALLY want this one!! look how cute he is!! does anyone want to buy him for me for my birthday?? .................................................no takers?? thanks guys, love you too :P

BUT!!! (theres the BIG BUTT!!!! *snickers* sorry inside joke......moving right along)

if YOU, yes you want to buy him or check him out you can call Owner/Trainer Ron Wallace 510-307-6719

OR go to this website http://www.canterusa.org/california/norcallistings.htm

(ps: to find him scroll ALL the way to the bottom, i promise he is down there.....somewhere)

Hot as H-e double L

It was so hot today. And the temperature thingy was lying to me it said 86 degrees.....LIES!!!! It was not 86 DEGREES today it was more like 205 degrees, i know what 86 feels like, NOT 86.

I am working a horse camp this summer, so i was at the barn from 8:00 to 5:30 (half of that was watching chillens and eating Popsicles :). there was one little boy who couldn't get his pony to move and just about cried! He is my little man :). We kept telling him to kick her and get mad but he couldn't reach her sides so he just sat there flapping around. I love that little kid, and another pony that combined are my little men!! I love them.

So on with India, i rode in the dressage arena (it was really hot...) and we did some really slow canter :) that is exciting because i recently got India to GO!! darn it!! she's tracking up!!..............now she just won't slow down, it's the recurrence of that stupid pendulum...but we did a ten meter circle stop before the rail and it worked!! YEA!!!!

i'm tired night-night :)

Rain Rot, Mud Fever, Scratches....whatever you want to call it

OK imagine this on all four of India's pasterns, the reason for this??
the ridiculous amount of mud in all the pastures (except the lesson horse's that boarders aren't allowed to use....typical) all of the horses are getting it. As soon as one clears up another gets it

and i think i will permanently smell like Budeaux's butt paste.(did i spell that right??)
After i cleaned her pasterns with antibiotic soap, i put the butt paste on to keep it clean. hopefully it will work

PS: i HATE rain rot!!!!

We got RUN OVER

I really wish someone had taken a video of it. it must have looked like the video of the harness horses where they all run into each other.

there was a hunter/jumper show at my barn, i wasn't in it but i snuck into the warm-up ring, just to ride in the hectic warm-up ring, good show experience. India was being a very good girl, even though NONE of the people could turn their horses without using a fence. They were all up in my space!!

There was one poor girl, i don't know who put her on this horse, but they should have been slapped upside their head. She couldn't make him turn, trot, canter, stop, or jump. She had NO control at all. All this horse did was bolt, rear, buck, and refuse to go.

They had to lunge him for an hour, attempt to ride him for another hour, just to do an equitation class where he bolted four times and threatened to rear. She was obviously a green rider too. Didn't know what to do when he refused. Didn't know how to canter properly. And the only advice the trainer gave her was put your hand on your butt and kick him as hard as you can. Which only made him flip around in a circle.

So i was on Indie talking to my trainer, when she did that flipping thing RIGHT BEHIND me, ok well suprise suprise he was so wigged out, that he started to canter sideways(dunno how he did it, it wasn't a leg yield, it was sideways, cantering SIDEWAYS)

He ran right into India's butt, India almost fell down, but recovered and took off cantering. Lucky i didn't fall off, cause when i got india to stop he was still cantering sideways. I'm serious it was one of the scaryiest things ever. If India had fallen down i'm pretty sure he would have run right over us and made a Paige and India flavored pancake. (i think we would have tasted pretty good honestly, yum....pancakes :)


So other than nearly dieing, it was a pretty good day :)

India Updates

ok so some updates......

Numero Uno: we are officially moving India to TLEC tomorrow!!! i have picked out my stall and everything, all we need to do is move the gear and pony. it is a really nice Equestrian center

it has (get ready) three arenas, one outdoor jumping arena, one outdoor dressage arena, and one indoor arena. it has a cross country course

by the way here are some pictures of it (up there)

Numero Dos: India is wearing the dreaded muzzle again!!.....because someone asked me when her foal was due 0_O

Numero.....threeo: i got her a snazzy new halter, thats plaid!! it's maroon and black with some grey accents and it's a break-away!!!

But i Can't Help it!!!!! Look at Him!!!!

Baby Rusch

Baby Rusch,(that would have to change, i'm thinking Chimera) black bay colt(drool), 16.0(do you think i would look like a pea up there??) hands, 6 years old. Hubba, hubba(a what???) – this horse is a HUNK(I AGREE!!), absolutely gorgeous! Beautifully put together(i love his butt), this boy looks like a power house, but with the elegance for which Thoroughbreds are bred. Baby Rusch is still intact (SAY WHAT!?!?!???)so he could be sought after for breeding (umm...no)or he could easily be gelded(gelding bus here we come!!) and you’d end up with a horse who has the looks of a stallion(a verryy sexy stallion) and the personality of a pet. This horse is super sweet and respectful(i could use some of that!!) with a very intelligent, but soft eye. His trainer describes the horse as a VERY good mover and from what we saw, we fully agree(me too!!!). The trainer only has the horse’s best interest in mind(awww) and wants to see him go to someone who values the boy the way he does(aawww....again). Unfortunately, he had a suspensory injury last week and full diagnostics have not yet been completed. Based on this type of injury, he will most likely be looking for a non-jumping home (not really an issue i can't jump anyway)and a certain amount of layup(don't you have to do this anyway??) will be required, but this horse is clearly worth it. This horse is STUNNING(swoons), you will not be disappointed! $500,(are they for serious??? i'll pick him up next week!!!) with special considerations to the perfect home.(me!!! right here!!! pick me!!!)

pink= kinda bad

red= bad bad bad

green=yea!!

blue= my comments

ok i don't need another horse and i'll never ever in a million years convince my parents to get another horse.....BUT HE'S SOOOO PRETTY!!!!!!! *pouts*

i discovered this boy yesterday and so far no progress has been made toward convinceing the parents to go see him (believe me i have been trying) but i'm not too hopeful with the economy and all, i don't think it's gonna happen (but don't worry if i do get him i will definatly tell you guys ;)

since i probably won't be getting him i really hope someone else will and blog about him (so we can ALL drool over his gorgous pictures!!!)

after seeing this horse i think i'm hooked on OTTBs <3

does anyone want to buy him and let me ride him???

seriously if you want to buy him contact Jeremiah Englehart 516-770-0085
