pony training time!

I have been so busy with work and school and keeping up with all the ponies. Im spending riz off to training with charity filmore (hopefully) but there is an issue,money, aint that always the issue. Im trying to lease em out to anther home to help pay for the costs. If you know anyone looking for a lease please me let know, and she is also for sale. Ive been so busy at the farm, riding and training the amzing olivia! Olivia has spread her wings and is starting to show her true colors as a rider. Every time I see her she is getting better and better! We all heading down to the local pinto and she showed Dr Do little, aka Doodle, amazing pony, and she got 6th and 3rd! I was so proub of her, she learned to let go and trust her pony! I cant wait to see where they will go in the furture! We also took lil jessie along and was hopefully going to show her but she wasnt feeling it that day so we sratched.Also olivia hoped on em for her usual saturday seccession and she learned how to use her seat and how the horse listenes to what her body is doing. They were great 2g, and em was a great girl for olivia. There is so much more to come and cant wait to see how everything turns out. I promise I will up date more but just keep in touch!!

My lil guy growing up!!

I havent posted in a while but wanted to show yall some quick pics of how riz is growing!! Hes filling out and stands at 14.1h right now as a 2 1/2 yr old!!

slow down time.

Recently I have been slowing down on my riding as I am TRYING to get better from my fall. Getting throw off my little yearling doesnt help. Em is doing so great. lexi has been riding her when I cant, and Nicole took at great lesson on her with Kelly!! Riz had been doing great, he gets confused sometimes, but that just means we got to bring him back down and work his basics. Im planning to take him to the pinto in 2010 of next year and show him in walk/trot, if all goes well if not I will just show him walk, or jsut take him to hack round.But everything is going great with the horses just on a slower pace.

feeling akward lately....

Well today I am not writing about my horses. I want to just say what I am feeling. Have you ever wondered why ppl say they are ur family but in the end they are the ones that hurt you the most. My whole childhood horses have been my place where I could fall back on when things get ruff. Every time something didnt go right in my life I would go hope on my crazy lil mare and it would just seem like for once everything in my life was better. I have learned alot in my life thanks to horses. Horses taught me so much in my life like indepence and strength and courage. If yall dont know me I am a very independent and very head strong at times. I just have to say I really dont trust anything beside my four legged friends. But I did start to trust someone and in the end the person I trusted most changed my mind about ever opening up to anyone. SO as I would do anyday I just wasnt having a good day I went to see my horses, and let me tell you everything was all better. I have to love my lil colt, he has only been riden once before today but today I hopd on him and rode him around the farm bareback in a halter and lead. I couldnt of asked for a better day. Some people say an animal cant change your life but mine have. Horses are a great thing and will always be a part of my life, even if people come and go. My horses will always be there.

finally some down time!!

Ive been so busy working and trying to get ready for a big show me and holly are traveling too, and also trying to work out all the plans for riz to be moving to whistle stop (thank you tara!!!!) Em and I have been working reall hard to get ready for thr big tryon eventing show. I am showing Em in novice which is 3ft stadium and 3ft crosscountry with 3ft width and a dressage test. I have been working really hard on getting her to listen to me and also letting her go but not getting to fast and crazy. I also have been working on some funs courses that jump in and out lines and some higher fences. Holly and I and a few other people are heading down to stono river before I work this saturday to try and school over some x-country jumps. I warn ya'll it been a whole since I evented my mare, and we should see how it goes. I am so very excited to go tho. Eventing is ems and I thing and IM ready to show the world what we got and been working so hard one.. WIsh us luck and Ill keep yall updated!!!

Finally time to write...recovery from surgry!!

Well tight now I am recovery from getting my tonsils and adnods out!!! Fun fun...not lol. Ive been so busy lately with work and trying to get out and ride as much as possiable. I have to say Em is doing so good!!! I couldnt ask for a better mare to own. We are currently jumping around 3ish courses and she is doing great. I dnt have alot of brakes but she is a true jumper as that.I plan to show her in the PSJ coming up in jumpers. Rizzes is another story he is doing great but is in need to get his feed done badly. We just cant find a farrier with time and thats not to expersive to come up there. But we will find someone. I also have been looking at a great lil morgan I might end up be leasing. and I also looked at a great oldenburg to lease, he is just a lil bit more out of shape then I would like but a great ride! I forgot to write on the Clemson show we went to a few weeks ago. It was great I got 2 1st and 2 4th. I showed dressage, and a muscical freestyle and low glambers and discpline rail. Holy showed her 3ft-3'6ft jumpers and placed well and lexi also showind Em in her FIRST dressage test ever. They did great too. It was a great show and have fun going with a big group again. But I got to go rest posting pics from Clemson!!!
