Trenton is lovingly owned by Lois Bass and Janet Fletcher. Identical twins who share a lot! The girls have been riding together for 31 years! He resides at TWO TREES Farm in Bridgehampton, NY; a most magnificent place ! Trenton is well taken care of by his groom, Luis . Luis grooms, tacks and turns-out Trenton 2x a day in a large grass-lush paddock Luis secretly adores him. He is never too harsh and only mildly reprimands his youngster behavior. Trenton is always turned-out beautifully! He has amazing views of the polo fields, the polo games, horses being trained and he has all the grazing he could wish for.
Usually mid morning either Janet or Lois shows up for a 1/2 hour training session and then a lovely sojourn around the farm. Trenton is quite brave for his young years and light experience. He leads the way and seems unfazed by the polo ponies, the flags waving, the tents and scoreboard, or the water sprinklers suddenly going off. He is the perfect trail horse for 2 experienced (could be read as ‘older’) women.
Early on Trenton had mounting block ‘issues’ After 2 sessions with a wonderful horsemen, Trenton now stands at the mounting block like a gentleman; for mounting as well as dismounting.
He also loves to play the game of ‘pick up the crop’. On dismounting, I toss my crop on the ground. While I loosen his girth and massage his eyes, Trenton picks up the crop from the ground and carries it back into the barn for me. He’s so cute! We visit him often in his stall in-between rides. He has begun to love the company.
He has progressed quite nicely in his training. At first, he was afraid to walk down the hills. He was not exactly sure about falling on his face. He now walks beautifully, keeping the weight on his hind end.
He has advanced from uneven and unbalanced gaits to quiet, even trotting and cantering. He loves practicing his rail exercises and he has begun to canter over small fences at a slow even pace. He is the smartest horse we have ever worked with ( and there have been many)! He aims to please ‘the girls’
We love him!!!!!!!!!!
Lois & Janet
