This blog will follow Psymin from his biginning training through his races as he prepares to take Texas Arabian Racing by storm!

Progress

Gave Joe a call today. He told me that Psymin is doing well and has been worked in the round pen under tack. He will get a rider up tomorrow.  Joe has a race at Lousiana Downs on Friday with Falcon. Since my inlaws are in town, all of us are going to head out to the training barn to watch Psymin exercise. I don't know if he will be going around the track by then, but hopefully so! He should pick up rather quickly from where he left off.

Since they won't be back until late Friday night, Psymin won't go out very early on Saturday. That's fine by me! I'll be sure to get photos, as usual!



Back in Training

It's been a while since I've written. Things have been pretty busy around here.

Psymin came home on November 14th. It had been some time since he came down with the snotts and it was taking a long time for him to get better. The final decision came after I heard he attempted a timed work and then had a bloody nose afterwards. I picked him up and took him directly to Dr. Pullin.

He was examined and found to most likely have an upper respitory infection. He still had some snotts and a little cough, although both had diminished. He was put on rest and SMZ tabs for 3 weeks.

This past Saturday, I took him to his new training facility. He is at Thunderbird Racing Stable with Joe Lopez. This is much closer to home than San Antonio and Psymin will have use of a 1/2 mile training track, starting gates, hot walker and turnout. He settled in nicely so we hope he gets back into the swing pretty soon. He lost a shoe the day before I took him, so he'll need to get those reset before he heads to SHRP.

I'll take photos when I go to visit (on Saturday).



About the author

I am the head of the NN Elite Arabians operation...if you want to call it that! My husband Jarrod and myself attend to the every need and whinny of our equines. At this time, we have our foundation mare, NN Chantilly Lace and Psymin. Chantilly happens to be his dam. We have two adopted old stallions in California, Gai Trillo++ (an own son of Ferzon) and his son, Kings Trillomar (out of an Azraff daughter).

From the moment he was conceived, even when I was picking the stallion to breed my mare to, I planned to put the resulting foal on the race track. I knew Chantilly had the heart and the conformation to do it. Now, if only she has passed it onto her son....
