60 Days And Counting

    It is hard to believe that just 60 days ago Tea -Biscuit left her life at the track to embark on a new career. Young Tea-Biscuit is far exceeding my greatest expectation and I am starting to get eager to see the spring roll around with a new show season to enjoy.
   I have had a busy couple of weeks with Thanksgiving and a visit to see my son who swims in college. With me away, Tea had a few extra days off to relax without work. She has definately impressed me with her ability to get right back to her job after a hiatus from the daily routine. A pleasant and unexpected bonus.  
   Fortunate for me my good friend Robin Coblyn was able to shoot some video and take a few photos before I took my trip to Boston. Robin has bred and raised multiple Thoroughbreds and has been a strong supporter of TPR so it was fun for me to have her come to see my special girl and her progress. She did a series of great photos showing the ground work to the under saddle work. I will post those later this week.
  I have alway made body work a big part of my training program. Tea got a recent introduction to body work when my good friend and message therapist Laura Gentile was here from OH visiting her mom for Thanksgiving. All my horses love Laura so it was no surprise when Tea loved it. Lucky Tea ended up getting two messages in a four day weekend. I know she appreciated it because the affects showed up in her work immediately. 
    This journey is turning out to be way more fun than I ever imagined. Thanks again TPR this Thoroughbred is super special!!
