Vacation Time

Cody and Axel got some vacation time, atleast from me, this past weekend. We stopped in to borrow a saddle on Friday on our way out to the farm. Everyone was busy grazing in the new section of pasture.



Visited with a couple new baby horses over the weekend. Wilma, who is a week old, and then the new baby that arrived on Sunday morning around 5am. We didn't make it in time to see him being born but we were there to see his first steps.

And then Jeff's niece got her first horse. His name is Buckeye and I think he's going to enjoy his new life of luxury. Sunday was the first time he's probably been groomed in 2 years. So far he's turned out to be a very gentle guy. Jeff's sister is going to maybe try and ride him this weekend. Could be interesting, but I'll be at the Parelli demo so I will miss out.

Supposed to have another dressage lesson tonight. Not sure what Tricia has up her sleeve, last week it was cantering up hills. It will be interesting to see if Axel is more forward today after a whole week off.

Not sure if I'll get a chance to ride this weekend. Trying to get Anne to come out next week after work sometime for a ride. Might get Jennifer and Amanda out to ride when they are in town the next weekend. Either that or maybe get Dick to come out and ride Beau. I'd like to take a trailer ride down to the trail nearby for a little practice run. Then one more weekend and we're off on Monday June 26 for "Horse Camp 2006."
