Thank you to Bill and Lori Hoos of Wil-Lo Blue Farm of Franklin, TN for putting such an amazing foundation on St. Finian's Well over the winter in Florida ... jumping 3' and super smooth lead changes! Fin just shipped back to Kentucky to Hogan Stables (Matt and Jess Hogan) to go back to galloping with his half-brother Bermuda High. Now begins the discernment of his steeplechasing future. Bermuda has passed the first test and he will be relocating in a few weeks to Keri Brion in Fairhill, Maryland to start on the flat and to eventually test his jumping now that we're 2 years away from his hind ankle surgery at Rood & Riddle. Thank you to everyone who has and continues to support these two horses along their journey!

La teorÍa del Trapecio
Hay varias herramientas excelentes que puede usar para entrenar tu ojo y ver el equilibrio y la estructura general de un caballo. Uno que ha estado con muchos entrenadores y criadores es la teoría del "trapecio".

El Diario solicitó a tres profesionales de la industria de Cuartos de Milla que lo explicaran: AQHA Professional Horsewoman June Warren de Yukon, Oklahoma; Carol McWhirter de Doniphan, Nebraska; y Philip "Vic" Clark de Shelby, Ohio. Ellos colaboraron en una conferencia sobre el tema en el 2005 All American Quarter Horse Congress. Desafortunadamente, June murió en 2010, pero vale la pena transmitir su sabiduría, así como la de Carol y Vic.
"El trapecio me dice si un caballo está realmente equilibrado", dijo June. "Es más probable que un individuo equilibrado tenga buen movimiento, habilidad atlética y solidez".

Cuando busque el trapecio de un caballo por primera vez, intenta dibujarlo en tu mente o una buena foto tomada de perfil en una superficie plana o use una regla para marcar sobre el caballo.
