Another great update on Ted Astaire!


We are so proud of Ted Astaire (KLR Reflection x Pretty Desireable by The Dignitary)! Teddy has been under saddle less than a month, and today we received a glowing report and pictures of him on a trail ride with his trainer Mary Majetich.














Mary tells us "Ted's first trip out and he was ponied for about an 9 mile trip (He climbed about 1,000 feet to Crystal Mt). The second time out on the trails we went to GreenWater and Ted got a bunch of water crossings. He has proven himself a very safe trail horse and I love his attitude. "














Following quietly over a narrow bridge. This is the disposition we breed for - a horse who is equally comfortable on the trails as he is in the show ring.












Teddy crossing water like a pro. All he cares about is getting a cool drink!

If you're looking for a trainer who will get your colt out there to see the world, not just arena broke, Mary can be reached at mmajetich@gmail.com. She has done an awesome job with Teddy and we highly recommend her!

We received a good report on Ted Astaire's training progress - he is already riding at a walk, trot, and canter, and behaved like a superstar on his first trail ride!

The only problem is that he has been known to jump out of the round pen.

Oh well, that seems to be a family tradition - watch this video of another of KLR Reflection's 2 year olds getting bored with the round pen!
