WELCOME TO OUR WEB SITE!

10-16-09 We would like to welcome our new addition, Anotha Toughcookie, better known as "Elsie," to our farm this weekend. We found Elsie through CANTER New England and picked her up from Suffolk Downs this weekend. Elise is the first race TB that we have taken directly from the track and we hope to give her the winter to relax, put on some weight, and come spring she'll be retrained for a new career. We are hoping she will be the first of our racing rehab/retrain prospects. If any of you are interested in TBs I must highly recommend the fabulous people at CANTER, including Jen and Barb, who spent three hours in the rain with me on Saturday helping me find just the right horse. I would not have felt as comfortable taking one without their help. Elsie has been home for two days now and as you can see she is happily enjoying turnout and has a sweet personality.

8-08-09 Welcome home Avallach's Irish Coffee ("Latte") who just arrived back home after 3 1/2 months with trainer Lilli Beiler-Bedermann (VT). Latte's time in VT was the first she had spent off the farm and was designed to give her a first taste of life in work. Lilli put together a fabulous plan for our girl and really focused on letting Latte see work as "fun."

Latte is our large three year old filly by Avallach's Irish Whiskey out of our late foundation broodmare Woodlands Maggie Mae. She is the last foal we have from this fabulous cross. She was lightly started by Lilli and now walks, trots and canters as well as lunges.

We are very happy to see she has the same great attitude towards work as her older siblings.

Our plan is for Latte to spend the next number of months hanging out here at the farm in light, occasional work and then to continue her under saddle training more formally next year as a four year old.

Thank you to Lilli for once again doing such a wonderful and personalized training job with one of our Avallach babies!
