Would the club like to plan a ride in northern New Jersey? Lusscroft farms in Wantage township has 20 box stalls, 3 grassy fields for grazing, and trails. Sept 18th. Trails are hilly and rocky in some areas.

The ride at the Cowan’s was great last Satuday. This was the first ride my wife and I attended with the club and we really enjoyed ourselves. Jacquie and Dicky were marvelous hosts. I hope we will be able to remember the names of all the folks that were there. I would like to contribute to helping the club and other riders ability to have fun with their horses by putting together a comprehensive list of places to ride. I created an email account for contributions from anyone who has a favorite place to ride. I will post more on this in the near future once I have been put on the list of contributors.
Once again thanks for your hospitality and company on Saturday. It was great.

Hi- My name is Nicole and I recently rescued a TWH which had been abandoned. I do not know much about TWH and this is my first horse. I would like to know more. Can anyone local assist me? I need to learn how to train him. He is older and was left alone for what looks to be a really long time. He is only just now starting to regain weight but still has a long road to go…But when he moves, my world stops and everything stands still to watch him. He is such a beautiful mover! I want to learn how to move with him, not just on him. (I hope that makes sense to someone else.) I am currently not yet able to really go anywhere with him because I am saving for a trailer. I on the otherhand can come just about anywhere in the state (MD/DC) with notice. Please send me some good advice; he has so much spirit he does not deserve to be wasted. Thank you.

Nicole, did you get a reply about this?

No, I didn’t; not from here, but I did receive a comment about a local person ( a few hours away). And, I did track down the owner of a TWH ranch in Wisconsin and I was blessed with a dvd to assist me with his training.
To give an update, Rango has now put on 150lbs, and has filled out very nicely. He is more confident and spirited. I have since been told by my doctor that I can no longer ride due to an injury from a car crash, but he is still worth everything. Rango has become quite the lover of me but absolutely hates my dogs. (No turning my back on him when my Bear is around.) I am not sure why, but I believe it may have to do with the farm dogs, owned by the local racehorse trainer. Since I wrote we have also discovered an intense fear of cars and highways, but he is a dream otherwise.
I know he deserves a job, but get to be healed before I can take one on. If anyone knows of someone who is looking to free-lease a horse, please have them call me. My number is below. Thank you guys, for your information. It is a pleasure reading the comments here each time I visit.

Thank you, please resend because I did not receive it or it went to spam! (Which either is horrible because I would love to know what was said to assist me with my horse!)

Just wanted to give an update on Rango. He now weighs in at 920 pounds-just right for him- and is about to get his mane and tail braided so he can look his best. Goodness, at his age, he deserves a little spot lighting now and then. His new pasture mates (right over the fence) are gorgeous Belgians and the fact their backs are the height of his head have no bearing on whether or not he is boss. LOL! He still figures they need to know.
) (The mare, his neighbor to the left, just ignores him; kind of like, “Honey, sure, whatever you say, just let me eat in peace.”) All three of the new BElgians are champions, but he is still my champ. Besides he is just plain gorgeous now. Everyone believes he looks so much better than when he first arrived. He now looks like he belongs.
Well, I got to get going. Thank you everyone. Oh! I forgot the reason for the post! Thre is another TWH nearby! We will be getting together soon.

I grew up in Howard County, but have recently relocated here after living in New England for the past 30 years. A TWH gelding owns me. Would like to get together to ride with some other gaited riders. Can you give me more info, and some samples of locations for your rides? My horse is boarded in Laurel and I live in Columbia, MD. Are there any rides on this side of the Bay Bridge?
Thanks,
Paula

Hey, Paula,
I just noticed your post. (7 months later…)
I live in the Arundel Mills area & would love to find a calm, confident riding buddy for Thursday and some weekend mornings for an hour or 2. My favorite place is Patuxent Wildlife Refuge where the trails are wide and wonderfully unused, especially during the midweek.

Paula,
Hi! I just found a farm near me with 5 TWH! On top of that, they all like to ride trails and get together on a regular basis. It is awesome because MD is not know for it’s gaited horses. You are more than welcome to hang out there! Check out Burrages End Farm- I think you can Google it and get the info. If not, send me an email. My horse, Durango, will be moving there in the next week. I did not even know it existed until I made the decision to look for a good full board facility in the area instead of moving him into someone else’s care more permanently while I recover from back surgery,

Good morning everyone! This is Nicole, Rango’s mom (TWH). Burrages end just got another gaited horse, bringing our numbers to 6 and we all like to ride. Anyone open for hanging out the beginning of June? If so, give me an email/ call! 801.580.1976 Thanks!
Nicole
P.S> If you were not able to make the Elizabeth Graves clinic this last weekend, in Dillsburg, PA, you really missed out on a treat. WOW! My first clinic with my horse, and my first time back in the saddle on my horse since my back surgery–what a treat!
