Archive for July, 2009

We all survived our Itty Bitty Buddy Bash this year. We had a great time which featured Lois, The Strongs, Amy M, and Deb of course us.  We took it pretty easy with a bon fire on Friday night and then breakfast, horse training, karaoke and a live concert at the beach in downtown Oconomowoc. The concert was performed by a 10 year old blues guitarist that is now on Americas Got Talent.

The horses are all growing up big and strong. Trace is finally starting to fill out with the new hay we had cut and Susan put away. I was at the National Appaloosa board meeting when all 4000 bales came. We but up about 2o00 here and Kate and Chris put up about the same. Lucky for us the weather held out and we had nice dry hay. We still haven’t had any rain since then. Things are really dry. Angel has been weaned and tomorrow I am going to move her to one of the pastures with a little more grass. I was planning to do that before, but never got to it. We also have a new boarder coming the beginning of August.  I worked with both Angel and Sport during the buddy bash and they both were very cooperative. We worked them both on a line and they did very well for young horses. We need to really get Sport going under saddle and I hope our next barn helper might be able to help us out. Meanwhile I am working Trace, though not as much as I should. We will keep our fingers crossed.

Thanks for watching,

S/B
