saw it advertised in the practical horseman and got the invite from Steuart, but I will be taking our OTTBs to Bobby's jumper show.. i would be too tempted to come home with another project
hope he has a follow on one later in winter once the show season slows down..

Do you have room for more. It said spaces were limited on your site? Do you recommend bring you own chair?
That is so exciting to see so many people getting interested in the OTTB again. Stuart and others like him are great ambassador for this wonderful breed!!!:dye:
I just love the OTTB I got from the track in May of 08'. She was a bit of the girl in the bubble for awhile, but has really turned out well. When she goes to different shows or encounters new situation she approaches it with curiousity and interest. Bringing her along has been so much fun and now she is adjusting well to new riders when I teach lessons on her. TB's aren't for everyone, but with the proper guidance from knowledgeable horse people they make the change from life of the track just great!!!
