7 years ago we lost a wonderful horse, who could have been a twin to secretariat. We didnt race him as i thought he was too straight theough the hocks and would not stand up yo the rigors. He sure had the stride!
I thank god that no one died trying to rescue him. They tried, he refused. I am thankful that 29 horses were in fact saved.
Going forward, fire safety is job one for all of us, but we get busy. Take dome time this winter and improve safety as your facility. The lives you save may be yours, friends, family or precious horses.

Soft arms allowing his horse to load his front end, weight in his heels lengthening his calf for a tighter leg in the air and lightening his seat, upper body well forward to be with the horse at the take-off, and hips back keeping him in the perfect balance. I call it the “V” position for the take-off. - Bernie Traurig

By Lauren Davis I finished seventh in my adult medal (aka “Cougar Medal”) this year in our Greater San Diego Hunter Jumper Association Championship Show. Of course I’d wanted to win or at least come home with a tri-color. I spent a great deal of time visualizing my perfect round and putting an...
