We wrapped up training for these two young 'working mothers' this week with two fabulous rides. Despite only having 16 sessions under saddle Kastiana, always the quiet natured girl, was trotting poles in her last session and enjoying her last ride with 'Uncle Fred.' Tanzer had a equally impressive final ride with trainer Margaret Hawkins who introduced her to bending and connection during three months of dressage basics. Tanzer is really showing great promise in this discipline and we hope will be respresenting the farm in the show ring in 2012. Both mares are entering their third trimester and will now get to lounge in anticipation of their babies, due in April. Thank you to these two gifted riders who gave our talented young mares a great start in sport. Both girls will return to the arena after maternity leave and will begin preparing for more concentrated work next fall.
