"Halo Whitley” in her racing days is just “Whitley” these days. She is a 6 year old roan Thoroughbred mare.  In August 2006, friend and trainer, Becky Beyler, called me - she had come across a very cute little racehorse that was looking for a home. She had colicked badly and en route to recovery it was discovered that she had the worse stress fractures in her front legs that her vet had ever seen. Her future as a racehorse was not bright, and so she was, in those infamous words, ‘Free to a good home’.

   Well, after one visit, her ‘good home’ was secured. After months of stall rest, learning how to eat treats, and turning quite the princess we started a very long rehab program to train her as a little dressage horse. She turned out to be a darling to work with and started going out to schooling shows and trail riding like a champ.
