New Red Head in Town

Here's an awesome picture taken by Mike of our new girl. A HUGE thank you to Bill for this lovely mare, Chad and Mike want to drive down and check on Bill. They both think that a crime may have been comitted. Sarah and I drove down the previous weekend to Louisanna to pick her up. It was a great girls weekend. Lots of good horse talk, good company, and the best crawfish I have ever had. We just love this new girl and will do her proud. We are calling her Keely. She is a purebreed Irish Draught mare 4yrs old and breed to jump the moon. We are super excited about showing and jumping this girl in the future.

Another Great Clinic with Jutta

It was another AWESOME clinic. Jutta saw improvement !!! yahoo !!!! Every time she comes I realize how much I have to learn. She is such a great teacher. She gets riders excited about dressage and pushes everyone to do better. Dominik was on Saturday and he worked hard. Dominik 's Mom was able to come and watch . She was really happy to see his progress. On Sunday I rode Avery. She turns four on May 5. She had less than 20 rides under saddle and was a gem. She worked really hard and tried her heart out. She is by my PMU rescue mare Lindsey and Jan . She is making a super riding horse. On ride number 13 she went on a trail ride and did an awesome job. She has three super easy to ride gaits and I have been riding her around bareback. TP farms was our host again and they were super hostesses. Another big thanks to Sarah for putting this together.

America's Next Top Model has Nothing on Avery

Yesterday,
Cheryl from Owl's Nest Farm ( http://www.owlsnestfarm.com/) graciously invited Avery and Dominik to her photo shoot with famous horse photographer Bob Langrish. http://www.boblangrish.com/index.php
It was surreal to know I had some of Bob's books at the house.

I can't wait to see the pictures! I wanted to bring Cupcake but I just thought this might be to much excitement for the little guy. Avery and Dominik acted like Pro's. They even had some pictures taken together. Our friend's Sarah and Mike also brought their two horses. Sarah's mare Savy had a blast!!! I can't ever remember seeing Savy run like that. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful setting, with some even more beautiful horses. It would fun to see our horses in an ad someday. Till then I'm planning on getting a poster for my wall.

Cupcake's First Show

Today is St. Patty's Day, and it was an awesome day !! Cupcake went to his first show and he did great. The show (http://pinoak.org/)was super busy it had hunters/jumpers, Saddlebreds, Rocky Moutain horses and of course Iberian horses. Cupcake only entered one class, Dressage Sport Horse Prospect, Andalusian Colts 3 yrs. & Under. He won first place and he was so well behaved. I showed him myself and I 'm not a fast runner or a good runner but Cupcake was a team player. Our friends Mike and Sarah came out to cheer us on. It was so great to have friends there. Sarah is on the Irish Board and they are sponsoring a jumper class at the show. Chad and I want to sponsor something next year as this looked like alot of fun!! We are showing in another class on Saturday. We will keep everyone posted. A big thank you to Linette at TP Farms. She is a great teacher and I felt really prepared for our class. I feel so blessed to have such lovely and smart colt. I will post pics when we get them
