RIVER CREST EQUINE CENTER

Kate moved Tonto here in Mid-August, 2011. She started taking lessons on him immediately, and liked her lessons so much, that she decided to put Tonto in daily training/lessons pkg. Tonto is coming along beautifully, as he paced in the walk and canter when he first got here, was very thin from the previous facility, and was disconnected in the trot work. Through properly feeding him, as he's a Tb/Oldenburg and 17.3h, he has gained weight and muscle very very quickly and is starting to look like the show horse he is to become. He has lost just in a month, the desire to pace in the walk, and the canter and trot work are improving daily. Kate had a jumping lesson last Thursday, and can't believe the difference already in his elasticity, lightness, and correctness in his gaits, and was thrilled with his freewalk stretchdown and his stretch at the trot, and his roundness over the jumps(which has caught Kate a bit off-guard). They are both progressing incredibly well, and should be quite ready at the lower levels for the Octoberfest show in Edinburgh Oct.14-16th, 2011 at the Hoosier Horse Park. Kudos to Kate and Tonto for their efforts and improvements each week. Great job guys! More to come on their progress and success.
