He looks great! You know, some OTTB's really don't have a wild bone in their body and they adjust to pleasure horse life seamlessly. I've known quite a few like that!

An update from Bloomer's mom - they are training with a fabulous dressage trainer, and graduated up to 20 meter circles. They are working on circles, working with side reins, getting his hind end more engaged, and caveletti - that was just the homework from the last lesson. And, trying to do it all in a hunt saddle! ;D And a couple pictures: and

I had the honor of visiting the boys this weekend, and got to see Vicky and her trainer long-line Bloomer and Beamer. It was windy, chilly, and sort of rainy - ya-ya weather, I call it - both boys were distracted by everything, and full of beans. ;D They've hit gold with their owners! They were so clean and shiney that I felt ashamed of my grooming on my own gelding. ;D Very pampered and well-fed, and very bonded with their owners, too!

Update - Bloom went to his first show - schooling show at a hunter/jumper barn, and did very well! Out of 2 classes, he got 2 fourths.
