Era of Chanago and his new mom Tara.

Tara played vet tech and donned the lead apron to do digital x-rays on Chanago. They were beautiful clean x-rays and clean joints too.

Hello Barry!

Glad to hear from you and that Knight is doing well. Chanago is doing really well too. We're now at a point that he is really moving from back to front into the bridle and readily accepting contact. I my first lesson with Chimene since she came back from Florida and it was AWESOME. We worked on some gymnastics and trotting fences and then finished the lesson with a one to three stride gymnastic to a bending line around to a single oxer and he was a super star. We're working on keeping a consistent steady pace and "cantering till we run out of room". I can see the 3 foot adult hunter potential! Chimene really likes him.

Hope all is well with you guys and all the kids!

Regards,
Tara

Hello Elizabeth!

I LOVE MY BOY! He is really coming along. In just the four days in a row that I've been riding him, he has improved with every ride. We are both figuring each other out and having tons of fun. Everyone in the barn absolutely loves him. All the kids were lined along the fence when we rode in the ring yesterday. I took him out for hill work this weekend with a few friends and he was in heaven. He has also made friends with everyone in his paddock including a bird that was perched on his rump when I went to bring him in yesterday!

I'm planning on taking some pictures of him this week and will send them to you guys. Hope all is well with everyone at Bits and Bytes Farm.

Well, Mr. Chanago is doing quite well at Stoneridge. He was turned out on his own in a grassy paddock on Tuesday and then introduced to one of his pasture mates on Wednesday and joined the group on Thursday (Jamie the barn manager supervised them to make sure they all got along). She said they all kind of sniffed each other and within five minutes they were all eating and sharing hay together.

He got new shoes yesterday and rode him for the first time in the outdoor ring under the lights. Between the wind and the new place, I thought he might be a little jumpy - not even one spoke. I didn't do too much with him because it was cold and late but Carolyn (the vet) and I are planning to ride tonight after work and I'll be able to take him out around the property this weekend.

He has settled in nicely and seems to be enjoying his new home. I figure that by next week at this time we'll be back on a consistent riding program. I made my first horse equipment purchase on ebay a leather halter, lead and cotton lead rope and Chanago marched right up to the stall door and put his head right in he looks so handsome in it.

Have an awesome weekend and stay warm! Can't wait to schedule a weekend for you guys to come out to Stoneridge!

Suzanne was teaching a group lesson last night and Chanago had about six little girls petting him and giving him peppermints as he stood in the wash stall. You promised him that he'd have a little girl - now he's got half a dozen!
