Road to the Show Pen Update-April 2013
Saturday, April 13, 2013Our Road to the Show Pen Series has been a popular feature of our Team AD video library. We've gotten such great feedback and it seems our members really enjoy getting to know the horses through the monthly videos. Throughout 2012 we featured four of our 2 Year Olds: Mister OMG, Dual Ya CD Olena, Blue Rooster Bayou, and MSR Peptart "Pink". Pink is still here at the Almosta and will continue to be one of our spotlight horses as she gets ready to show this fall in the cutting futurities. Mister OMG was sold and is now in training with 2012 NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Champion Corey Cushing. OMG is on track to be shown at this year's Snaffle Bit Futurity, and we will keep you updated on his progress. We're thrilled and excited to watch him become a star! Blue Rooster Bayou was purchased by Ali Aranas and is often here at the ranch so we can also keep you updated on him as well. Dual Ya CD Olena was one of our entries in the 2012 NCHA Futurity sale and is now living in Texas.

Looking Forward-Where Do You Want To Be?
Friday, January 4, 2013
Happy New Year All!!
Everyone seems to be on the same page...Reflect on the past and make plans for the future, and why not? Any successful person will tell you that's the best way to keep moving ahead. I can't think of a single person who enjoys stagnation, to just stay where they are, keep the status quo. No, we are a group of strivers! Reaching for grander goals, striving for improvement in the present, growing toward a better life. For many that means improving their present situation on the outside.....where you live or what you do. The more intuitive of us will take a closer look at the inside. After all, isn't that where it all starts? Reflecting on ourselves and what changes we can make to be the best that we can be. I suggest that you start with your health. Our health dictates so much about our attitudes and hope for the future ahead. It affects how we feel getting started in the morning,…

Horse Profiles-The Lovely Lena Rey!
Monday, December 3, 2012
Al's third and final horse for the World Finals is the only mare in the group-Lena Rey Zack owned by Todd and Kathy Bro. Lena Rey is all girl-very feminine, very streamlined, petite, and girlish. She acts like a spoiled, only child. The phrase "don't speak until spoken to" does not apply to her. If you even get close to her stall she will squeal and let you know she has no desire to be spoken to. She has a bit of a reputation as the barn diva.The thing that makes Lena Rey so special is when it comes game time, she is all business. Lena Rey knows exactly what she has to do. From the minute you step your foot in the stirrup, she tucks her chin and seems to say, "how fast, how slow, trot, lope, let's go".
