Cash and Laura's First Show Together

OK so I have to brag...my baby did so good at the show this weekend! He was so calm and well behaved the whole day. I attached the picture of our winnings...not bad for our first time out.

Also, a special thanks to Rebecca for letting us borrow her trailer :)

Daisey Update

Daisey has settled in and loves her new place. She loves her new pasture buddy, Beano! After Daisey kicked him three times, Beano is now in control so I am not sure how it worked out that way. They walk side by side and when they graze, more often than not, they are nose to nose. She is still a little spooky when we walk around, but she seems to be getting better about it. I took her on an in hand trail ride with a friend yesterday. She went over the scary bridge w/o batting an eye.

But the best part is......for the first time in over a year and a half......I was home Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night. Wow!!!! I got so bored I actually went to bed last night at 8:30 p.m.

Everyone I have met so far has been really friendly and helpful.

Please keep me posted on things going on. I will be out soon to pick up my western saddle. Glorya....I will tell Catherine to hang on to your saddle rack for you.

See ya soon,
Amy and Daisey

Tonk and the Bear

This is amazing!  Talk about a connection between a rider and a horse!  The link above takes you to the David Letterman interview with the young woman who's relationship with a horse saved a little boy from a grizzly attack.

Posting to the Blog

Deesbarn blog settings have been changed so that all users can post photos to the Fotos page and create their own pages (like one for your horse, maybe......).  You should now be able to see a number of tabs at the top of your window; just be careful, because these settings give you the rights to edit pages, posts and templates...don't inadvertently delete someone else's contributions.  :-)

Mark Your Calendars!

Dee says that the date for the barn Christmas Party has been set for December 11.  Reserve the date on your calendars.  Details to be announced....

When to Call the Vet

There's a new page on the blog featuring the article: When It’s Time to Call the Vet
by Amanda Martabano House, DVM.  For those, like me, who are barely knowledgeable, it's a concise list of important facts.  For those experienced horse owners, it's a good reminder.  Hope it's helpful.

FOUND - Gold Ring

Hey Everyone, I found a gold ring with initials (I can't read them) at the barn last night. If anyone is missing it please let me know. I will bring it back out to the barn and can leave it where you wish.

"Shot-A-Rama"

It was great to see everyone out at the Horse "Shot-A-Rama" today.  What wonderful weather for just hanging out with BB's and horses.  Now...all we need is some steady rain, Glorya up and well, winning lottery numbers and life would be practically perfect.
