Training a Thoroughbred can feel like a dance with one step forward and two steps back. The process draws you closer as partners, but you need to work through the stumbles. Trailering has been our biggest challenge.

The countdown is on! It’s amazing to think we are just a bit over a month away from the Makeover. I’ve spent so much time reflecting on my journey with Bronn in the last couple of blogs, but now things are starting to feel real… maybe a little too real!

The road to the Thoroughbred Makeover is one of the most versatile experiences you can be a part of simply because there are not right or wrong ways to prepare.

Goldie and I have been really changing our course of action day to day to continue to adapt to the changes with Goldie’s mind and body. However, in reality we ensure that with each change the goal is always the same, which is to have fun.
