Maybe you think: "What is KTC? I though the stable was called KRC?" Don't get confused any longer! KTC is what we call our training barn (= Kilborn Training Center), when we talk about it in everyday conversation. Mostly because it's a lot easier. At other times we called in Training Barn, but KTC is very much shorter.
Anyways, that wasn't what I wanted to talk about. The point is that we have gotten the first two horses for the training stable. It's the plan that KTC is for training horses up, and selling them again. Mostly we will buy young horses, break them in, training them in whatever discipline that is suited for them and then sell them to a new stable.
Most of the horses who comes here, who are older than 3-7 year old, are cheap problem-horses. We solve their problems, and if we can't we keep them at our stable.
The ''newbies'' I was talking about are two horses. The first one is a grey Shetlandspony called Gammelsmoelf (Papa Smurf in Danish), he is a keeper for sure, at least for some time, since he is only 2 years old. He is born black, his owner says, but is greying out little by little.
The other one is an oddball. Her name is Mary-Ann and she is an American Bashkir Curly, and has been a broodmare all her life. Her coat is curled, and she is so fluffy and soft! She is 8 years old, and ready for a life as a showhorse, since she has rejected her two last foals, so the stable had to feed them themselves. And that isn't really durable on the long run.
