New Horse

A beautiful 4 year old red roan. Her registered

name is Shees All Jacked Up. We're still trying

to come up with a barn name for her. Suggestions?

A good roll to get rid of those stupid mosquitos

A Horse-Filled Weekend!

We started off on Friday night by loading up the horse

trailer and heading to Darlingford for the Paul Unrau

clinic. We will go every Friday for the next 6

weeks from 7 - 10pm. He did not disappoint!

This morning the girls were up at 5am (and had

only gotten to bed after midnight the night before).

We were in Miami by 8:30 am for Aimee and Babe's

first horse show! Here they are in Halter Showmanship

(and, YES, we ARE getting a tail extension for this poor,

little app!).

After the halter class.

Next class was the costume class, which they had

so much fun with! (I do think horses can

get embarrassed)

Aimee placed 5th

Maggie got 3rd

Western Pleasure class. For their first time in

the show ring, they both did fantastic! Especially

considering 6 months ago Babe had never really

been ridden.

Babe was a little pokey today and Aimee had a

tough time making her 'go', but I think they still

had fun

Last class was Trail. They had to side pass to a gate,

open it, walk through it and close it without letting

go, side pass over 2 poles and then back through the

poles, weave through pylons, lope to the bridge and

then walk over it. Aimee and Babe got 5th!!

Next weekend is the Manitou Fair after the Friday night clinic.

If this keeps up, our summer will be very exhausting!

Who Knew The Pool Didn't Need Water In It For The Kids To Have Fun??

Here is Peyton on Skippy. For a pony, he's pretty

sweet! The best part is that she can ride him by

herself in the arena. I think we could potentially

have a highschool rodeo girl here - she just wants to

go fast!

Aimee with Babe (Rt) and Dazz (Lt). Aimee and Babe

are going to a 6 week ranch horse clinic series with Paul

Unrau and I'm so excited to see what they will accomplish!

Dazz...my sweet boy! He's in the funny-ugly-ducking-

yearling phase right now, but give him a year or two

and he'll be a show stopper!

At only a year, he already stands at 14.2hh! I've

been reassured by his breeder that it is highly

unlikely he'll go over 16hh...I hope she's right!
