Fun Facts

Jen and Tanner

Tanner is a bay thoroughbred who was purchased by Jenny as a two-year old. Like Aries and Black Jack, he had a somewhat underwhelming race career in which he ran one time earning a total of $0 for his efforts.  Apparently the scintillating turn of speed he displayed coming down the stretch was enough to convince the trainer that a different career was in order.  That was when Jenny walked into his life and gave him a good home.

He has enjoyed a successful second career at local dressage shows and events and he is currently enjoying life in a large grass field!

I first met Jenny when she was 14. Since then, I have watched her graduate from high school and university.

She’s been a wonderful friend and was an immense help with Ears, especially in the early days – she was even responsible for his new name!

Do you have a horse that hangs on the bit and feels like he is pulling you around the ring?

Does he get strong when you canter? And do your shoulders or arms end up aching during and after a ride? You may even have considered getting a harsher bit to get the horse out of your hands.
