About Me
- Frizzle
This started as the training journal of Salem, a 5 year old Thoroughbred gelding, as he progressed from Total Greenie to Slightly Less Green-ie.
After six months with me, Salem went up to his owner Raffie outside of Chicago. Her goal was to make him into her dressage horse.
Sadly, Raffie passed away in March of 2011 and Salem made the journey back down to me. While I'm thrilled to have him back, I wish it were under better circumstances.
Neither Salem nor I have the desire (or the talent) to be dressage superstars. Eventually, I'd like him to be my trail-riding, hunter/jumper eventer; but for now, I'm just content that he's safe with me.

He's beautiful - but I'd be asking questions about the pouliced front legs, and also the really big horses may have soundness issues. But a beautiful horse.
Right you are! The big horses are definitely more prone to soundness issues (but I still love 'em!).
The poultice doesn't bother me so much, as I have heard that it's a very common practice at the track. It would, of course, require some inverstigation (if I were seriously looking...alas, this is unfortunately just fantasy).
He is puuurrrdddyyyy!!! If you are seriously considering a horse right now, look at Bid on the MidAtlantic section. 5yr old 16.1h gelding....I want him soooo badly, and if you got him I would know he went to a FANTASTIC home and I could read his blog...and he isn't that far from me so I would be very happy to go look at him/take more pictures for you if you wanted!!! Lol, I am not helping your obsession at all am I? Can we say enabler? But Mister Tuff Stuff here is quite nice looking, it is odd that they posted these pics, w/ his poulticed legs and half braided mane, it looks very spur of the moment!! Oh, and Bid is only $500.... :)!
Alana, you are too funny! :-) I can tell that YOU are in love with Bid, so I think he should be your pony. ;-) He is REALLY cute -- unfortunately, it says that he has arthritis and is only suitable for occasional low jumping, so he wouldn't work out for me.
Oh no!!! I wonder if I missed that or if they added it after I found him...either way, I am all wimpy...hmmm...Bailey is a 10yr old 16h reg TB w/ a perfect bill of health....No, she is a great horse and isn't going anywhere...Oh well, off to find you another horsey!!!lol!
That is a goooood looking horse. He looks quite tall. Do you think you might look at quarter horses and paints?
Loverly!!
