Cupcake is Grazing

We are happy to say Cupcake is becoming a Texas horse. He has learned to graze like the big horses. He is starting to lose his heavy winter coat and is enjoying being groomed. He itches everywhere.

We had a busy January , I only took one team to the Mars Rover contest. I had high hopes for this group of girls and they did awsome. They came home with a third place out 70 plus teams.

I'm glad our Mars exploration is over, I'm "spaced out" ! I was so happy to finally have sun on Valentines Day, that we spent part of the day at the barn. The track was dry enough to have some fun with horsey friends. I have been tutoring 2 days a week after school . Those are long days for both the kids and I. I've been getting ready for Jutta visit. Chad has been working hard trying to bring our educational system into the 21st century. IS SPRING BREAK here yet !!

Jutta Clinic Dec.2009

It was another great clinic with Jutta. This time I rode Yvette's young Andie/Tb cross. He is a super talented and very hard working guy. Our friend Sarah, who plans these great educational experiences with Jutta, was laid up with a broken ankle. So I had the chance to ride her super talented mare Savy. It was three really great rides. I'm so excited about Jutta coming back in February. I feel like we make huge jumps in our progress every time she comes. Jutta is not only a talented rider but a truly talented teacher. Sarah's husband who is a professional equine photographer took some great photos during the clinic.
