After the Show!

The Blue Ridge Classic Gypsy Show is over and now is the time for reflection and evaluation.  It is a time for me to readjust or reconfirm my priorities.  In this instance, it is readjustment time.  The big farms brought very few horses and the ones or one they did bring were perfectly trained.  They were the highlights of the show and in every sense of the word...show stoppers.  Though lightly attended (it could have been called, but management bite the bullet and the show went on!), it was a classy show with a handful of lifetime professionals helping us and setting examples to be followed.  "One should only follow the best".  Why should I learn from someone without a resume, so to speak!

Traveler did well as the green demo horse/pony and we drove in two classes...one for green horses and one open.  survived!  And came out with ribbons!  Cracker had a going over by Doug, the ultimate in chiropractics plus and in 12 hours...we had the old Cracker back with all his pizzaz.......wow!  Scratched him from a couple of classes and discovered....I must have adult attention deficit disorder...I can not do an obstacle course if my life depended on it!  Can't remember much more than three directions at a time.....need I say more!

Welcome!

Welcome to Chocolate Horse Farm, Home of Gypsy Vanner Horses ....and others! It is spring here in SW MO and with that comes storms fit for the movies. It is also time for spring training. Lee Oliver joins us at this time of year, shares her birthday with us, ads a lively levity to the every day, and works with our three year olds to bring them into the realm of 'starting'. As she works with each one we will post pictures or video of each one's progress. We hope you will enjoy our days here at CHF as much as we enjoy including you! Cheers!
