A Happy Monday With Princess!


I went and saw Princess on Monday, the owner let me spend time with her, which is great because I want to know her personality more. She's very friendly, laid back, a bit shy but that's understandable. I'm a tall person, and she dose not know me very well yet. We worked on picking up all four of her hooves, cleaning them, she could care less which is awesome since cleaning hooves is my least fave job. She cross-ties very well, stands still. I groomed her, and just rubbed my hands all over her to get a feel for how she does.

I can't wait to have her home in my own barn, I have so many things i want to get started on. I defiantly want to see how Melody does, I'm praying they get along but I'll take it slow.

It's been raining everyday so i haven't been able to ride Melody yet. I'm itching to see how we do this year, I really want to start riding her two times a week to get her back in riding shape, but this weather needs to get better. The paddock is a mess, I have projects for the barn needing to be done but until it drys up i don't see that happening.

My Son and My new Pony Princess!




I haven't updated in quite a while, life got ahead of me as usual. My son was born Jan 27th at 10:13pm weighing 8lbs, 7oz, 22 1/2 in long. He was healthy and screaming, telling everyone of his entrance into the world. He is now three months old and so handsome. He has been teething lately so he has been a bit upset but otherwise always in a good mood and smiling. I think he is going to crawl early, he shows signs of wanting to. Being a mommy is the best thing ever in the whole world.

I'm also getting a 12 year old mini/Shetland pony mare sometime in the next few days, maybe this weekend if the lady can trailer. She's so sweet and beautiful, i can't wait to bring her home to meet melody. I'm hoping the two hit it of and become good friends. She's a bit head shy but nothing i cannot handle. She's not broke but that dosent matter to me, I'd rather have a sweet natured pony. I want to work with Melody and get her muscles back that she lost from being of, don't really need two riding horses.
