The Marathon Moves Into High Gear


Blu staring longingly at his pasture while having a bath. Blu was part of our marathon Thursday when we clipped four horses; Blu, Taco, Sebastian and Paramount. Since our last blog post on Wednesday we've clipped eight more horses.

Sebastian and Paramount ready for clipping

Paramount in progress

Taco in progress and looking so thrilled

Paramount finished and ready to go back out

Sebastian in progress

Blu in progress

Sebastian and Taco were not into posing for after pictures

Blu finished and headed back to his pasture

Taco was off at a gallop the moment his halter was removed

Sebastian and Paramount did not hang around with the humans either


Wilson liked to make sure he was being scrubbed thoroughly while having a bath; Wilson and Rubrico were clipped on Friday

Rubrico and Wilson after their baths and ready for clipping

I forgot to take "official" post clip pictures of Rubrico and Wilson. Rubrico after his clip

Rip and Cuffie were clipped on Saturday; Rip lathered up during his pre-clip bath

Cuffie was not interested in posing for an after picture . . .

. . . if looks could kill I would be dead . . . 

. . . but Cuffie posed happily for me once he was back in his field

Levendi and Moe

Happy and Johnny

Digby and Blu saying, "were you looking for us? We're right behind you."

Grand, Elfin and Rip are almost never late for breakfast, they're always watching and waiting

Cocomo and Donneur looked pretty in the morning light . . . 

. . . as did Lofty

Mick, Digby, Johnny, Paramount, Sam and Nemo . . .

I love the two photos with 5 horses in a row! You two have to be the best caretakers in the universe. Any horse that lives at Paradigm Farms knows what heaven is all about.
