Well its been a while since I have posted (almost a year!) I quick run down of what happened since the last post:
Well we moved in June so it was a very busy time getting everything situated (people, horses, cows...) So not much riding, but I am glad to have the horses right out of my front door again! Fergie came along well this summer, I took her to 3 horse shows. 1 was a open fair show, 1 was a saddle club show and the last was a buckskin show. The first two shows were interesting, Fergie was a little nervous and a little naughty, but she settled down by the buckskin show and even picked up points in the Jr HUS and Am HUS. I sold her two weeks ago to a family in KY that wants to show her Western Pleasure on the AQHA circuit. They absolutely adore her, and I think will take really good care of her. I feel like a sap, but I do care where my horses go, especially the ones I raised!
Allie had a rough summer, she started out being a little naughty, and that went to being sore to being lame, with no apparent reason. I feel like an idiot, but Allie ended up having abscesses in her front feet. I have had no prior experience with them, so I guess I didn't know what they looked like, but I do NOW! So she was so stiff and sore, that I really did not get to ride her for about 4 months. But after switching shoers, she is doing great and back on track! I took her to her first show 2 weekends ago, she did great. With the help of a friend, we got a lot of stuff figured out and we ended up winning the Jr. HUS and Am HUS under both judges…. I am hoping to take her to a few AQHA shows this year on top of starting her over fences, and then of course I will take her to Bucky World this summer, I really think she has the stuff to collect a few buckles down there (not that I am big headed or anything ;O))
But that brings us to the present!
