Wentworth Hunter Pace - June 6, 2021

After Margaret and I had such a fun time at the fall hunter pace, we opted to go again this spring! This time, while I rode Rejoice again, Margaret rode her horse Jester and had a friend ride Ladyhawke. All Kennebec Morgans!! Jester and Rejoice have the same dam and Jester and Lady share the same sire. Unfortunately instead of a lovely late spring day, we had one of the first intensely hot and humid days of the year. It was definitely a bummer, but the ride was mostly in the shade of the woods and we had a great time!  most of the fences were 3' coops but we found a small log and this hay to jump haha Until we didn't. 😑 We brought along a third friend who rode Margaret's older mare, Ladyhawke.

Marshaling at Scarborough Downs - Oct. 17, 2009

On Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009, the Standardbred Performance Society set up an informational booth and marshaled the race card at Scarborough Downs. It was special because it was the day of the 2 YO Stakes Finals for both pacers and trotters!

Of course, I marshaled again with my partner in crime, Shelly. We had a blast! Our horses are like peas in a pod.....neither of them like other horses (Dreamy never learned how to play nicely with others and McKeever was a stud until five years ago.....) but they LOVE each other! We trailer and show them all over the place!

And of course, we are now really snazzy with our perfectly matching saddle pads and windbreakers.

Yeah, we are awesome! LOL! :D

My horse looks headless....


This guy was giving McKeever (right) some fistfuls of grass. Dreamy (left) was like, "Hey, now, wait a minute....!!!"


Dreamy is in the background, McKeever is close up.


Dreamy says MOM, I'M BORED!

Aw, Deb comes along and pets me.
