GOOD MORNING, LEFT VOTES FOR ALL, TO THANK YOU FOR YOURS. This is where Sterly's story takes a bit of a twist. FF almost 4 years, we are still at the boarding barn, Sonya is now in University, I still ride 4x a week. I started to notice a slight hesitation from Sterl that was new, she did not want to go forward, at first it was mild, and I could push her thru it, but it got worse. She would actually do a small buck and a very tiny rear when I asked for forward. This was so out of character for her, but ever her resistance was polite, like she was trying to get my attention, she did. Believe me when I say there were lots of suggestion from folks that observed us, most thought that it was behavior and that I was not strong enough and I was letting her get away with it, one woman told me I had to beat her hard enough to make a welt on her skin, that would smarten her up!!!. I chose to call Dr. Cook, I explained the situation and we made arrangements for him to come and see her, I asked if it could be "just" behavior, he said "whenever a horse that was happy with its work begins to resist, they are trying to tell you something is wrong", in the meantime carry on as normal, act like everything is fine TO BE CONTINUED, Talk soon, love Donna Lee & STERLY GIRLY

GOOD MORNING MY FRIENDS,I would like to continue with Sterl May's story, thanks for reading them and commenting on them, because she is 30 and retired, it is also fun for me to remember the early years. THANKS FOR THE VOTES AND SUPPORT. All was well at the barn, Sterly's retraining was in full swing, I still leased Fool Kat, so I was a pretty busy girl, 2 horses to ride 4x a week and the barn was 40 minutes from home, a full time job, a house and husband to take care of plus 4 cats and a dog(Nicky) that I did agility with. The young couple that owned Fool Kat were pregnant and building a new house, they had no time for her but, did not want to let her go. So I was a perfect solution for them. Unfortunately, the baby arrived and the house was ready and they were ready to take her home. I had leased her for almost 2 years, I had Sterly but still it was a sad good by. Fool Kat was 23 when I started her lease, I kept in touch after they moved her home, she was basically a pet, she died quietly at 32. TALK SOON, LOVE DONNA LEE AND STERLY GIRLY

GOOD MORNING, here it is day 16 already. WE LEFT A VOTE FOR YOU, and a big thanks for the wonderful support. Being a pretty new horse owner, I had sort of thought once I get the first year under my belt, I'd be good to go....Silly me, aren't we ALWAYS learning from them. One thing is for sure, if all horses were like STERL MAY, everyone would have a horse. By now she is pretty much the "sweetheart" of the barn. The owners loved her 'cause she was easy to handle, never caused a fuss and I was there regularly(every chance I had). One morning, Sterl was in the aisle cross ties, I was grooming her and Margaret was touring a new prospective boarder, they got to us and Margaret says "this is Sterl May, she is Standardbred, this horse jumps" as they walked past, I heard the guy say "nice butt!!!" HEY,he was talking about the horse. LOVE DONNA LEE & STERLY GIRLY

PLEASE VOTE STERL MAY JUNE HOTM
Thanks for listening to my stories of Sterl May, I guess by now you can see just how special she is to us. The trail ride was bad, but there were tons of great stuff that happened at "the barn" One morning I had just finished my ride and we jumped a few little jumps. I had turned Sterl loose in the arena to roll. As I waited for her, one of the other boarders came in with a friend. She introduced me and said her friend just came for the visit to watch her ride. I told them I was almost done, I'd be out of the way in a few minutes. I couldn't help notice that the friend was REALLY looking at Sterly, of course I thought because she is sooooo beautiful. As I got ready to leave the arena, I called "come on Sterl May, let's go" the friend says, "what did you call her? Is she a Standardbred?" "she said, I'm K. V. this horse was born on my Dad's farm, OMG, wait till I tell Dad that I saw her, she looks great, do you jump her? he will be so happy to hear that she is alive and well", we both cried a few happy tears, what a small world, what a great horse. After that day, I made sure that I let Mr. V know every year or so that Sterly was indeed alive and well. WE LEFT YOU A VOTE TODAY, THANKS FOR YOURS, talk soon, Love Donna Lee & Sterly Girly

Thanking you all with a vote today. We were really enjoying life together at the barn. I love having the guys home but I have always missed the camaraderie of other riders support. Sterly was now jumping small courses, mostly xrails but also some verticals. We had advanced to the outdoor ring. One evening, late spring I was at the barn and had just started my warm up when a couple of the other riders came in and said "we are going on a trail ride, want to join us" We had not done that yet, so I thought OK, sounds fun.....WRONG...Sterl May thought there was something spooky behind every tree, bush, rock, everything was a monster. She just could not settle, so I could not settle. The other riders are like, she'll be fine come on. So I hang in, we struggle along, Sterl on high alert, snorting all the way. Just then we see ahead of us in the field a dozen or so cows and everyone is like HEE HAW, LETS GET 'EM. I'm like, NO. STERL JUST FREAKED...they all took off, left us there, me scared to death, Sterl just dancing and prancing. So I did what any chicken would do, I got off and we walked back to the barn. I was just fuming, nice friends, don't ever ask me to go on your stupid trail ride again, everyone had a big laugh on us, it was all soon forgotten, but we never went on another trail ride again. Talk soon, Love Donna Lee & STERLY GIRLY

thanks so much for the votes :) we are well on our way towards 600 votes. which means that we could possibly be able to run for HOTM at some point. :3 thank you so much for your support!

An update on me and Allie! SO we have been training pretty hard, and she is really starting to tone up and lose her fat, fat, fat, fat hay belly! hahaha but we have our second show on june 1st and 2nd :3 so we have to train pretty hard for that. We do a lot of natural horsemanship, and that has been helping her demeanor. But she is doing wonderfully and I am incredibly proud of her. thanks for reading <3 count down time to the show and time to start clipping and shaving to make her all pretty for show time! (oh and we finally got our own trailer!!! YAY!)

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT....
GOOD MORNING ALL, LEFT YOU A VOTE. Today's story is my personal favorite, here it is. Lessons were going well, we were becoming quite comfortable with one another, she loved her trot poles and her friend Doolie. She was learning to flex and bend but our canter was pretty rough. Sterl would anticipate my asking and she would throw herself into it off her front, not pretty. Our instructor said if we start her on some small jumps it will help her learn to use her hind end. Sterl was already a bit of a "wonder horse" around the barn. Lots of the other riders would chuckle "you can't ride a Standardbred" We practiced our two point, our release on the flat then, when we were ready we planned to jump next lesson. Word spread thru the barn like wildfire "she is going to jump that horse, Standardbred's can't jump" So, here we are next lesson, Val has a couple of TINY xrails set up, Sonya and Doolie were there, I was as nervous as can be. We do our warm up, get sort of relaxed, just then I notice that quite a crowd has gathered at the rail. They are all there to see a Standardbred jump. I trot around the arena, line up, get in two point, get ready for my release,PANIC..I turn my head to the right and CLOSE MY EYES... when I opened them we were on the other side of the jump, STERLY DID IT, Standardbred's can jump. LOVE THAT GIRL, talk tomorrow, thanks for the votes, LOVE DONNA LEE & STERLY GIRLY

GOOD MORNING, we left you a vote, thanks so much for yours. Happy Mothers Day.
Things were settling into a routine, my work schedule allowed me to be at the barn T,F,S,S, because I worked a 12 hour shift on M,T,W. Our lessons were going well, Sterl was an excellent student, she took easily to things like trot poles (Charlie still HATES trot poles) every time I was with her I was so proud, every one thinks their horse is the best looking. Sterly had only been at the barn a couple of weeks, she was turned out in a small paddock along side the road. When I got to the barn that morning, Max told me someone had come by and wondered if that Mare was for sale. We have a large number of AMISH farmers in our area, at first I was taken back. But then I was so proud, because, I realized they thought, "WOW, look at that Mare, she would be a great buggy horse" See, it wasn't just me that thought she was good looking...Talk soon, Love Donna Lee & STERLY GIRLY

GOOD MORNING, LEFT A VOTE
So, now Sterl May is safely at the boarding barn, life is good. I HAVE MY OWN HORSE, I had to tell you all about Sonya because I never would have made it thru the training and frustration without her. It did not take long to see that Sterly knew NOTHING about being ridden, she had had someone on her back a handful of times, but trained she wasn't. She had no bend, no flexibility, she had no idea what aids were, her head was straight up and out, when she was confused which was often, she paced. That was her comfort zone. But, none of that mattered to me, she was mine, we would learn together. As lucky as I was to have Sonya, Sterly was lucky to have Doolie(Sonya's horse) his stall was across the aisle from her. And of course, when I rode, especially at first Sonya was always there. Sterly had this huge crush on Doolie and once in the arena, she would follow him anywhere. I kept Fool Kat for those times when nothing went right and I just wanted to ride and noT really work SO HARD at it. We started lessons with Sonya's coach, in the beginning it wasn't pretty, but like I said, we were both learning together. TO BE CONTINUED, Left a vote, thanks for yours, talk soon, Love Donna Lee & STERLY GIRLY

HELLO! So my mom, Lena, has decided she want to run for HOTM, but, in order to do that she's going to need at least 600 votes! Now I think she misplaced them somewhere and I don't think we are smart enough to know where she put them. But by pressing a button at the top of my club horse account I'm pretty sure we'll be able to find them! Also if you do we'll return the favor! :)

i rode sing for an hour this week but haven't ridden since. got alot going on, like most of you do, too. hoping to ride this evening. doing housework until michael comes this afternoon, most likely to help weed eat and work some more on the drainage at the covered arena gate. peekaboo is not doing well. she's had a cough, which we treated with antibiotics. lost about 50 lbs, which is alot for a pony. she just eats really slowly and only so much. she looks like a bag of bones. :( we've started pergolide. my vet said it should help in 2 weeks if it's going to. she's been on one week. please pray for her.

Roxanne loved STERL MAY, after caring for her for the first 4 years of her life, she could not let her go. Sterly spent the next 6 years of her life at Roxanne's friends place, she was not a problem, she had two other horses to play with. It was always Roxy's plan to make Sterl a riding horse, and to be fair she did go out and ride her a few times over the years, but as we all know too well, life gets in the way. Fast forward Roxanne's life, there was a marriage a couple of moves, eventually she and her husband tried to set up a small breeding farm, they wanted to try and make it in the STANDARDBRED business, so they gathered a few mares and they even trained a couple for the track. Sterly came home. It is a tough business and it costs lots of money, money that they were not making, they both were holding down full time jobs as well as trying to make it racing. Long story short, it took about a year to realize they were broke and so liquidate the liabilities keep the assets. Sterly had to go. This is where I come in. At the boarding barn where I leased there was one other English rider, I would plan my trips to the barn when I knew she would be there, she is the one that over heard the conversation about me wanting to get MY OWN HORSE. She told me about Sterly, so I called Roxanne, I went to meet her and with my borrowed saddle and bridle I rode her right there in her paddock. The rest of that day you can read in her profile "how we met" STERLY had just turned 11 when Roxy and I delivered her to the boarding barn, I had my own horse, and she was BEAUTIFUL. TO BE CONTINUED, Love Donna Lee & Sterly Girly.

Sterl May was born and raised on a small but successful STANDARDBRED farm not far from my home. Standardbred racing is very big in this part of Ontario. She was quite good at the track, but at 4 years old she got a respiratory virus that ended her racing career. Roxanne, the lady that I eventually bought Sterl's from worked on that farm. Because racing is a business and not a hobby, Sterly had to go. Roxanne remembers the morning she was told to get Sterl May ready for the market truck. Roxanne had known and cared for her for 4 years and could not bear the thought of her going to market, so she bought her on a whim. That night after work she trailered her to a friends house and said "I bought a horse can I keep her here for now" Sterly spent the next 6 years there playing with her two new pasture pals.

Before I bought Sterl May(read her how we met story please),I used to lease a solid bred paint mare, at a local boarding stable not far from home. Her name was Fool Kat, I leased because as an adult getting back into riding, I wanted to be sure before I bought my own horse. The barn owners thought that I should buy a foal and raise it up. One of the other riders at the barn heard this and she said she knew of someone that had a horse for sale for not too much $$$ she mostly wanted a good home for this horse. The only thing was, she was a STANDARDBRED, that didn't mean anything to me. I went to meet her, and I will never forget the feeling I had when I walked into her paddock, she tuRned to look at me, THOSE EYES, THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES, she still has those beautiful eyes, thanks for your support, we left a vote too.

Hi Pony Jack, here's a vote for ya. So Angel H.T. got through the summer with a couple of little hick-ups with the colic once in a while. Went onto some really good showing. Had another bout with it in the summer of 2004 and had to be rushed back to the equine hospital. We left the farm at 1 am for the hospital. About 20 minutes outside the hospital, now mind you, it's now almost 3 am and of course I'm the only one on the highway and of course doing about 10 MPH at least over the speed limit. I spot a car on the side of the road, opposite side of us. I said to Kate, my friend that was making the trip with me, OH OH, it's a cop. She's like naw, like yes! He's pulling out and making a turn across the grass median and coming after us. What are you going to do, I'm gonna keep going, my horse is more important to me. He wants me, he'll have to work to catch me. Lights on and he's getting closer, about a few miles later, and he was following us with the lights on, but never catching up, I wasn't speeding that much that he couldn't catch us. Seems he called ahead to the hospital, asked if the had an emergency coming in, they said yes, a colic case from north jersey, he backed off , shut his lights off and dissappeared! After getting to the hospital land getting H.T. admitted and checked on, while they were working on him, I told them what happened. They said they got the call from the police, told them they were expecting a colic case! They told me, now the police will call ahead to ask if they have one on emergency run, seems that a couple of years ago, a cop pulled over a trailer, they stopped and while trying to explain this was a true emergency, the horse died while the cop was writting a ticket and busting them on driving fast. They sued the township for the cost of the show horse. Anyhow, H.T. stayed for a day and a half, and was okay. Had to be on IV for 12 hours and kept a watchful eye on him. Right back to showing three weeks later. He was fine!
Spent today at a tack sale. I sold $135 worth of older stuff that I don't use anymore. Not to bad, but it was outside and it was cold and windy out. I'm trying to defrost now! LOL! Going tomorrow to ride Paige. Marion and the blondies.

Hi Pony Jack, here's a vote for ya. So poor H.T. underwent his colic surgery and it was for a retro flexed pelvic flexor. Something in his stomach moved, probably rolling or even just getting up from lying down the vet said. I got home in the wee hours of the new day, sleep for a couple of hours, feed junior and bullseye and got back in the old truck and drove 2 hours to see my baby! He looked so pathictic still! I was standing there talking with one of the techs, Lisa, and when H.T. went into his routine for peeing! He must have learned this from watching the cat in the little box in the barn! He would circle once, stand extended, but then paw with a front hoof to move more bedding under himself to guard against the splash back of the urine! Vet tech says, oh boy, he's colicing, again, gotta get a vet, no Lisa, wait and watch, this is how he pees! She started laughing then when he did pee. I said if you see him doing it, just give him a minute before calling in the National Guards! I stayed about 4 hours with him, just talking and petting him, he was hooked up to an over head IV and tubes and could walk around and lie down, it was very interesting in a way. Still had to wear the muzzle for a few more days they said.
Didn't do much today other than turn the boys out in the indoor for play time. then did a little showmanship with Indy. Went to my lung doctor for my asthma check up, all's well. Marion and the blondies.

Hi Pony Jack, here's a vote for ya. So Angel H.T. is moving right along! We're at the year 2000 and he's doing very well with riding and showing, Hock is fine and just keeping him going nice and soft! It was a very good show year and he kinda stayed out of trouble with road cones and toys. Just loves to play and do silly things that boy did!
What a silly day, got up to the sun out and by 1 oclock this afternoon, it's snowing and still snowing. they are saying 2 to 4 inches could be possible! About an inch so far in like 5 hours, very light and soft wet snow, go figure! Indy and Bullseye were out in the indoor for playtime. Today was Paige's day off from work, so no report there! Marion and the blondies.

It is nice and sunny today but only 15*. Earlier this morning I rode Misty and ponied Sierra for about an hour. Sierra was a bit fiesty at first but Misty was very patient with her and eventually she settled down. I am hoping to get a ride on Cherokee later.

Hi Pony Jack, here's a vote for ya. So we're movin' on into 2000 and springs here! I decided to just lunge him for 30 minutes and get on. H.T. was very good for me. He's finally growing up! LOL! We had a really good show season that year and he won a lot of halter and pleasure classes, especially at Palomino! He had his usual play time antics, like chasing the cat all over the barn if I left his door open for two minutes to empty a water bucket, he'ld come out and stick his nose down to the cat and push him along, like hey, get movin' or I'm gonna get ya! But he never did hurt the little guy. And he loved to nuzzle with my then lab Teddy! They were always kissing each other.
Went back to the dentist this morning for one more adjustment on the tempory crown. Then down to ride Paige. Since I was like 45 minutes late, Paige was standing in the indoor arena tied to the wall. This is a good thing to get them used to tying where others ride next to and around them. Although she could care less about being in traffic! Marion and the blondies.

Hey,

How are you doing?
Sorry I haven’t been on as much as planned. I have been super busy with school and training Mac. This spring we will be competing in 1st level dressage which is new to both of us and have been working super hard.
Anyways here is a quick vote and hope to be on more often!!!
