Phineas Re-Enters Dressage Show Life
Just wanted to send you an update regarding Phineas.
In 2011 Phineas re-entered the Dressage show life. Our first day out was the Three Ring Circus in Hugo, MN. We placed fourth in Training 1.
Phineas has such a big heart and loves to go to work, once you convince him to move forward and not be too lazy. He and his financial supporter Mary will be riding the the Bill Woods Clinic and schooling show being held at Sunborn Stables.
When not in training, he loves to go for trail rides on a long rein to relax and nibble at the grass along the path. Look out 1st Level, here we come!

Just wanted to give you an update on Freya. She is quite happy here and is getting along well with the “others”. We have been riding at Wild River State Park, crossing bridges and so forth. She is a sweet, solid little mare. She has bonded with and seems to love both of us. We had a picnic with 15 kids and 15 adults and she did great giving rides around the house with as young as a 3 year old child (being led of course). We can’t imagine life without her now. We are so appreciative of her. Travis adds, “She is way better than what I could have imagined.”
I wanted to let you know that Panzer is doing wonderfully. We had a bit of a rough start, but everything is great now. He’s gained well over 200 lbs. and now sticks at 17.2 hands. He is honestly the most level headed horse at our farm.
Just an update on Katrina, now known as Bella; rescued by Drew and MHARF, adopted by Peggy, Mark & Megan. She is the queen of her domain, is now a riding horse, and is a gentle giant.
