Where did Monday and Tuesday go?


My intention with this blog was to share something every day.  What is it they say about good intentions?  Hmmm....It's that balance thing - God, family, horses, office work....so much to do!  Monday and Tuesday were actually pretty quiet.  Today was super busy.  Katy Peterson and I started the morning working with Hazel.  Now that she is up to weight and feeling better we are starting to access her training.  It seems that she's been ridden, maybe not with the most sensitive feel, but she HAS been ridden.  The first day I put her next to the mounting block, she got quite defensive when I leaned over her back.  So we went back to square one and worked through that.  Today, Katy was able to snug her up to the fence and after a little work to get her comfortable,  was able to hop on!  Hazel was a start.  She's starting to lose the worried look and now is seeking for the right answer.  It's really fun; what a sweet mare she is.   Will be sharing before and after photos soon.

Hope Services spent a couple of hours with us grooming Rojan, Duncan and Hazel.  They also helped clean all of the paddocks and stalls!  What a fun group of people.  I wish my mom were here to spend these days with us - she would enjoy this group.

We ended the day with Mackenzie and Brittney from CSUMB.  Mackenzie wowed us with her vaulting skills and Duncan was a star!  Once we get his trot leveled out he is going to be a fun little horse for the kids to learn on. 

It's been a long day.  But very productive and enjoyable.  Thursday will bring it's own adventures.  More later!

God Bless.
