Kyle has been home 16 days. He spent the 1st 10 days quarantined. Got a clean bill of health! When I turned him out into the bigger pasture and watch him moved I was genuinely confused as to how this animal ended up in the situation he did.. Im not gonna lie, he moved better then a majority of the ones at the farm currently..

This horse is so kind, very respectful on the ground, non aggressive towards any of the other horses, I'm just so over all pleased by him. Hes become so loving, knows the daily routine and stolen a piece of my heart.

Its litterly been 100 degrees almost every day here in Kansas since hes been home and finally back to the 80s today.... so it seemed like a perfect day to see how he rides. Nothing more then a walk/ trot and he is slightly off on the front right occasionally. Hes packaged up, on the bit, ready to go and knows nothing but wasnt naughty at all.

We will be going back to the vet, getting xrays and the lameness figured out before any more is done. This didn't hurt him and I think he really enjoyed getting to go out and ride in the jump filed with Riddler for a change.

Side note: Kyle is RRP Elligable for 2027 and in 11 years only 1% of the horses that have attended have been pulled from a slaughter pipeline... .maybe he should join next years team??? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Im not gonna lie... I'm really glad this horse wasn't a good racehorse cause seeing him in my barn every morning makes my day!

💜💚 I love you Riddler 💚💜

Well... I did something I dont typically do... I usually get all my ottbs from some type of track connection or organization, not auctions, sales or feed lots.. l pulled one years ago and am still recovering physically financially and emotionally from that damn nightmare of a horse. (Which is thriving now with his new owner btw)
So Wednesday afternoon while working hard I scrolled past his post on Strouds page. A tall dark plain bay gelding, clearly off on the front right, and only 5 years old. And to make it worse he just ran his last race 8/21/26... 5 damn days ago.
His bail was minimal. He was only 4.5 hours away.. I sent his ad to Casey. Said I think I can fix him.. he said just get him then ( not like I wasn't going to with or without his approval anyway but the thought was there)
My blood was boiling. The audacity of folks. They knew who he was from his microchip. I instantly looked up his connections and began Facebook stalking them.. his owner wasnt very active but his son was so, I messaged him.. he responded, he was kind, answered all my questions and seemed to be unaware of his current placement. Ill save the details because im truly trying to believe it was a miscommunication and he fell between the cracks. He responded to me, thanked me, and ill leave it at that..

Long story short. Hes our newest resident here at BBA ... hell spend some quarantine time and well start figuring out what his knee problem truly is. Folks please save your " dont support kill pens/ its a scam/ the boarders closed" etc crap... this pen ships or does something with them... he doesn't deserve to be there nor shipped around any longer.

He arrived today. Exactly one week after his last race. And I can tell you I am not disappointed in my irrational decision making on this one... Macie named him Kyle !

Show jumping in the 60s & 70s was wild... that triple bar in the middle of the combination 😳. Also the rider hardly touches his face.. Absolutely Incredible!
