Such excitement!

When I started this blog, it was a major part of my goal to provide a place for anyone interested to come and view, follow, and enjoy the adventure that is going to be happening both with the beginning of Stonehaven Stables as well as the horses, and the creation of my business.

Please subscribe if you would like to follow the story of the recovery of Touch Diamond, and his re-training to a new career. I am hoping to get us both active into endurance racing and ride and tie races. I have some personal work to do while I am training and conditioning him, but that is going to be the fun of it. I get to watch his progress from the beginning and see all those wonderful little transitions into what I can see the potential for being a really great horse under the right hands.

I am going to be keeping a daily blog of the care and training. I will be keeping logs of his progress in body condition, weight, and muscle tone. There will be training videos of my unique blend of training methods. There will be photos documenting progress, and enjoyable things - just because.

I have been making plans about evaluating him for training to find what stage he is at. I must admit I am a list fiend, but they kind of keep me focused and help make sure the excitement I feel is not going to get out of control and I forget to do something. Therefore, to help people enjoy these I am going to file them under categories. So far I have thought of Equine Updates, Training and Conditioning, DIY. Then I thought about posting the images and videos under their own category and linked in the blog entries to help the blog load quick and easy.

I may add more categories over time, but I think that is going to be at this time.

The next time I write I should have been to see Touch Diamond/Bravo and have some first hand update on him. I also will hopefully have gotten permission to use the photos of him from the rescue facility to fully document all the efforts that have been put into him.

Until then-
Happy Tails!
