Spring has brought other first moments ...

This week has hosted some really pretty weather and being it was spring break - the Roots made their way out to the country and the kids got to ride Buck ... it was his first time to have children ride him - we were so proud of him - he did great like he'd done it lot's of times before!!!! For safety reasons since it was Buck's first time with children we wanted to take precautions so Jim used a lunge line with him except Brooklyn quickly showed her skills (since she has had riding lessons) and she rode Buck on her own! Nathan and Corban did great as well and it won't be long till they are pros at it too!!! Great going kids - hope you come back to ride him again soon.

Show Season is gearing up ....

As spring is popping out all around - the horses began to blow their coats ... and suddenly it's time to clip the mini's in preparation for show season. It is amazing how different a horse looks with their winter coat and when they are first clipped - the difference is almost like different horses! After a few weeks of re-growth the normal color reappears. I'll give you, as best as I can since we didn't think of before and after pictures - starting first with Dede now and before, then Lady now and before, - then here's a picture of our little "mama to be" Carmel - will she make it to July??? I'm thinking a June baby! Last but not least is Bambi now and before.
