Hooterville ?

Yipe-e-e-e! We are finally caught up to the 21st century! We are now connected to the internet after being without for about 6 weeks. My husband says that we live in Hooterville and getting cell phone service and internet is what we have to learn to deal with. I'll put up with the in and out service of the phone and internet because we are now in our new house and I've moved the horses out here with us. It feels wonderful to have the guys and gals with us out here. And no matter what my husband says, he is getting more attached to them every day. Now I have to convince our older son that we do not live in an uncivilized county. He believes that if you do not live in a city with at least 1,000,000 people, then it's the backwoods. Oh well, he is in the Marines and is stationed close enought to us that he can come out to the backwoods on the weekends.

Resa

I'd like to take a few moments to introduce and thank a young lady for her assistance. Resa has been coming out to help/learn with the horses and lessons for about 6 months. Having her come out and brush, comb, lead and talk to the kids has been a tremendous help. (I thought I had a good picture of her, but I can't find a good one, I'll add one as soon as I can.)

New house, moving

Well, our new house is almost finished. Now I've got to get the arena, barn, etc. ready for the horses. The price of sand, railroad ties, and electric fence rope are some of the things I need to get ready. Thankfully, I'm trading services with another trainer and am getting a round pen, saddle racks, and many other things that I'm sure I'll realize I didn't know I had to have. Oh the many things that go into owning horses! BUT I, wouldn't trade any of it for all the world.

Blog

Well, so far so good! I'm keeping up with my blog!

Pumpkin

Well, she's better, in fact she now has the barn goddess attitude! Today she was able to go out to the front pasture and started trotting and bucking!! It was so funny, seeing her little fat, pudgy butt running around the pasture!!She was showing all of her "barn goddess-ness!"
