I've got two great books that need to go: Win With Bob Avila...retails for $39.95, you pay $5 plus $4.95 shipping. This book is a "mentoring" book in which Bob explains how he feels about horses, training, facilities and handling clients. Barrel Racing, training the Wright way....retails for $45, you pay $5 plus $4.95 (if I can ship that way...or $10.95) This book is fantastic...starts with the breeding of barrel horses and goes through everything from training to hauling to competing to fixing common problems...even discusses "ground conditions." Both books are new and in perfect condition. Send me an e-mail saying which book you want...first to order gets the books, we'll work out credit card payment later. donblazer@horsecoursesonline.com

Learn how to make a sculpture of your horse
If you really love your horse, you can create a life-like image of your partner that will last a lifetime, and you’ll save $50 doing it, plus get college credit!
Deanna Cummins, artist and horse lover herself, will guide you every step of the way as you capture in clay the unique image of your equine friend. Sculpt Your Horse is our newest course, and featured this month.
Six lessons show you how to use sculpting materials and tools, how to get photos which capture the essence of your horse, how to create the composition you want and finally how sculpt in clay the details and expressions which make your horse, your horse.
Complete course description and outline can be reviewed http://www.horsecoursesonline.com/index/index_sculpt_description.html Sign up in March and save $50…and you can use the course as an elective whether you are earning a degree or professional certification.
Cummins, a graduate of Breyer State University with a degree in Equine Studies, developed the course exclusively for online presentation. She uses graphic arts and video demonstrations to help you master the techniques of sculpting, and she works one-on-one by e-mail with you to assure you get assistance every step of the way. You do not need specialized art, drawing or sculpting skills; Cummins breaks down each step, making it easy and fun to be a successful artist.

You will send photos and videos for critique as you progress through the steps of sculpting your horse.

3 Days Old
Alley's filly is now three days old. I made a video yesterday of her adventures up to last night. It's at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfUTyEP13vkShe also had a halter put on and removed for the first time. She only wore it for about 2 minutes as she made the walk to the pasture. The halter is a suckling size and a little too big. But she'll grow into it soon.
No name yet - Cathy and Cindy are thinking hard.

New Filly
On Feb. 21, 2011 Smokin Up The Alley delivered a filly! The sire is Too Sleepy To Zip. Alley is a maiden mare and was fantastic through the delivery and is making a great mother. Don had to help her deliver as she didn't understand the concept of "pushing". The filly is sorrel, with a blaze and two white hind socks.
Many thanks to marestare.com and the members who offered support and helped with the foaling from afar. Knowing people were monitoring and watching Alley over the last several weeks alleviated much of the stress that can occur prior to foaling. It sure beat sleeping in the barn!
Today (the 22nd) our vet was out and both mother and filly got a clean bill of health. IgG levels were perfect.
Alley is owned by Cathy Hanson of Hanson Quarter Horses in San Juan Capistrano, CA. The filly is co-owned by Cathy and Cindy Carden.
TnHoney3 of marestare.com made a copy of the delivery and it can be seen at:
