Krystal and Lacey's Legacy
When Krystal came to Tranquility Farm to explore the possibility of training her first colt she did not have a firm plan, only a dream of having a young, unraced Thoroughbred for her very own. We had three yearling colts that were recently gelded, two were very mellow and the third, a beautiful coal black by Royal Cat, was the more challenging. His name was Lacey’s Legacy, the last foal of the good mare Lacey Native, and he was a lot of horse. Undaunted, Krystal fell in love.Lacey loaded right up when the van came to pick him up and I waited anxiously to see how he would fit in with his new owner and a training program. Once again love, trust and patience gave a beautiful result. Without these, experience training horses is worth nothing, and with them experience can always be gained. There is no other glue to bond horse to human. Krystal and Lacey are just one of the happy human/horse pairs that began at Tranquility Farm.
