Upcoming Show Opportunity

OUCH!!! That's the sound of my arm being twisted, and in turn Cecil's. The girls have talked me into hosting a schooling show day. We will be having dressage tests intro through training and a name your own test class. Susan Selvey will be judging the dressage.

We will offer C/T tests for crossrails through 3' and corresponding dressage tests. We will also be doing stadium schooling classes from 18" through 3'3" with gamblers choice classes at two heights.

We will have a concessions brought in by a vendor, and are working on a few other vendors to round out the day.

If you're interested in show information keep an eye on our website for the details, or drop me a line.

Show date is November 30th at 10am. If you don't want to show we'll definitley need some volunteer workers to make the day run smooth. This will be a much bigger shing dig than our "fun" shows from the past.

Nicole's New Beauty

I know I've been a bit slow on the posting. I have to get back in the swing, but need to get the camera cord located.

Nicole's new horse arrived yesterday. He's a 16H quarter horse gelding. Here's a video of him competing at quarter horse congress a couple of years ago.

Vet makes funny

I was listening to Dave Ramsey on my way home from lessons last night. An equine vet called in. He had been on a farm visit earlier in the day. The client mentioned that she was a liberal, or in some other way conveyed such to the vet. When he was finished and writing the invoice he informed her that he would be adding a 10% surcharge to her bill. The proceeds would then be held in reserve for the next horse owner who couldn't afford vet care. Low and behold the horse owner didn't think it a very good idea. Personally, I thought it was an excellent example of liberal "redistribution". All that said we are back in full swing this week with lessons. As soon as my camera surfaces I will post some pictures of the new farm. Which I'm calling my own piece of nirvana. (that means tranquility)We had an excellent showing at the state fair this past weekend, but I'll post more on that as soon as I have those pictures from Amelia...hint, hint.

We're Back

I'm back in the world of blogging. This is the blog for our new live's. I'd like to say a public thank you to my "savior and love of my life" Dawn Mills. Okay, maybe I'll include her husband Cecil in there too.

Cecil and Dawn are the proud owners of Mills Farms and Canine Retreat in Bonneau. They are the gracious people who have provided us a place to stay, and our horses grass to eat. We are getting settled in nicely and will be back to business as usual starting next Monday. If anyone has questions about lesson times, or boarding please drop me a line. I am furiously working to update our website, but for the time being this will be the most accurate source of information.

I am packing 5 riders to the state fair tomorrow. A couple of the highschoolers are competing for a college scholarship this weekend.

I can't wait to see y'all again, and show you around the new farm. Mark your calendars the farm Christmas party is Dec. 19th at 6:30pm. Everyone is welcome. We'd love to have some of our "old" family come for a visit.

I'll post pictures of the farm just as soon as I can.
