Doc and Jo--My hero!

Thank you to Jo and Doc for the fantastic ride I had on him. It was so darn nice to canter. It has been so long. Thanks again. Your horse is truly amazing. You just don't know how much I appreciate you letting me ride him. What a great horse!!!!

And to Furbie--I even prayed for you in church yesterday. Just wanted you to know that we are watching out for you and your recovery.

Upcoming weather

I'm going to take advantage of our last day of balmy weather and ride this afternoon right after getting off of work.  Hope to see you there.  For the rest of the week, I'll just be swinging by to check on the Docster and feed Gary's cat.  When will spring get here?  I'm so impatient!

Trail Ride at Benbrook Lake

Yesterday was beautiful.  The weather was awesome and so a group of friends decided to go out the Benbrook Lake and trail ride.   When I got to the barn, Bailey was lame, I was so disappointed.  But quickly though of what other horse at the barn could I ride?   Impy was good on the trails for Deb, so I texted Deb and she said, "absolutely".    So off to get Impy (the hard to catch horse)  this only took about 5 minutes and he was coming to me.  A couple of lunge rounds, grab some tack (smaller girth for sure) and off to load in the trailer.  Impy decided he didn't like ramps or a straight load trailer.  With some small encouragement and help from Jan he was loaded and we were off only 30 minutes late for the meeting time.
Trails were awesome and he was the trooper, against motorcylces, bicycles, cars, model airplanes and plastic bags on the ground.  Nothing like a confident Western Please Show Horse for the trails.  
Thanks again for the ride Impy 

Last Sunday We had Dr Hank Miller come to the barn

Dr Hank does such a good job explaining what is going on with your horse, let's you see the problem and then show you how he corrects.   I have had him work on Bailey three times and she is always so happy when he does the adjustment.   He is very calm, quiet and friendly, the horses love him. 



After the horses were adjusted, Catherine, Jan, Glorya and Sue (Laura's Mom) got adjusted.   Everyone learned something about their horse and themselves. 

Would like to have him out again in another couple of months.   Let me know if you would like to be on the schedule.   $110.00 for horse adjustment and $40 for person.  He is a Human chiropractor that is safe for horses and us.

Jaime's Birthday

If you haven't seen the white board at the barn you may not know that Saturday, 1/29, is Jaime's birthday.  He treats our horses so well...so much better than that fellow before him.  Don't forget to tell him "Feliz cumpleanos!"

3 year old & Parelli horse

Thanks, Glorya, for sharing that video.  It's amazing how calm that horse is - hours of work involved in developing that attitude!  Loved it!

Anyone riding Saturday night? If not, what time is everyone going on Saturday?

Horse Feathers: Happy Birthday Ginger!!!

Happy Birthday, Ginger!!!! I didn't know last night when I was out, but I will wish her a happy belated, with one peppermint treat. She will be happy. Let your mom know that I will be out Saturday night if she wants help to longe and ride.

Happy Birthday Ginger!!!

My oldest child turned 18 today, and she still looks as great as she did as a 4 year old! I can't believe I have had Ginger for 14 years now, that's more than half of my life! I won't be able to make it out to the barn tonight to celebrate, but I will give my permission this one time for her to have treats...lol. Max amount is 5 since it is her birthday (and of course NO alfalfa of any sort as always) =) So if anyone is out tonight be sure to wish my big baby a Happy Birthday. Thanks to everyone who has kept an eye out on her while I am in my busy month at work. I will be gone again this weekend for a show in Las Vegas. Maybe some of you can convince my Mom to come out and ride Ginger ;)

Rodeo

We need some help finding some cheap seat for the Rodeo.  I think January 29 or 30th 7:30 one would be good.   It's $22.00 and 8 to park (need to car pool.  Don't you think it would be good to put a poster on Wall for Rodeo.   This way people could sign up or tell us they want to go and we could sure everyone is included.



Need to make a sign for pattern nights too.  I will get our Marketing person right on this (oh, Lorna dear)
