Cajun – 2012 Quarterhorse Cross Gelding
We have a new case study on hand from March 2017 and he’s a quarterhorse cross with something gelding that is 5 years old. His owners bought him almost as a rescue as the previous owner didn’t want him. Upon purchase they tried to ride him and it turns out that he is very adverse…
Lena – 2008 Oldenburg Cross Draft Mare
We have a brand new mare on site that is a cross between an Oldenburg and a draft. She’s 8 years old this year and is the sweetest horse we’ve seen in quite a while. We’re not entirely sure of her background but we have been able to show that she’ll stand quietly while a…

Case Study – Luke
Luke is a little over 3 year old appendix colt at the time of this writing (Feb 2015), weighing in at about 1000 pounds. He has a couple of problems that are being worked through along with his training to become a reliable trail and arena horse. The first is that he has flared quarters…
Case Study – Willow
This case study is about a 16 year old off the track thoroughbred mare. In November of 2014, she was initially diagnosed as previously foundered and acutely laminitic. Her past history is a mystery up until about 2 years ago, but research and intuition has found that she foundered in the past and has been…
