Time flies and just living life
Stevie turned 13 this past week. It seems like yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. He was such a tiny thing and now he is as tall as I am and almost ready to shave! Somehow this just seems wrong! lol
We are getting a new horse. His registered name is QAR Mega Clasic, barn name is Sky Dog, or Sky for short. He is such a good boy and I can't wait to get him home. We are going to geld him first and take things slow with him, before we bring him here. I was supposed to ride him yesterday, but things didn't work out. Oh well, maybe soon.
I have been over at the barn every day this past week. I am trying to help a special needs woman get ready for a special olympics event. She does really good with me and I love helping her. Only thing is, after today I am going to have to cut back on going over there. I have to work with my horses and help Beth practice for her horse shows. Once school is out that will help a lot, but right now I just don't have that much time to do it all.
A and I started working with Kelly. Kelly has no clue what to do on the lounge line. She wants to trot and run. She was really confused that we wanted her to walk, but she was geting it pretty quick. I don't know what I am doing and I don't want to confuse her more, so, right now I am not lounging her on my own. She is head shy, so I am working on that with her right now. When she was being lounged she was gimpy on that right left leg at first. After a little while though, it started to losen up. Hopefully exercise will help her out.
Bill's eye is finally healed. I am so glad. Seemed like all I did was wait for the vet for 2 weeks. That bill hurt the bank account too. The really good news is that the eye ball it's self is healthy. The change in color was scarring and not something else going on.
I did ebay yesterday and hopefully I have a show outfit now. I am going to have to go in the ring with Beth when she shows on the 24th. I don't think I am going to be able to run the barrels like her daddy though. I'm too fat and out of shape lol. I'll probably get one of the kids to do it for me.
I think that's all that's going on right now.
2nd Horse Show and a Life Lesson
Beth learned two really important lessons yesterday. The fist is that not all shows will win her a bribbon. The second was if you fall off your horse, get back up there and go again.
Two weeks ago Beth won 2 ribbons at her first horse show. Yesterday was her second show and she did great! Of course she made a couple mistakes, but that's to be expected. She turned 5 in March, so we are really happy with how good she is doing. She didn't win any ribbons yesterday. We told her she might not, but that it was ok and that she needs to practice and learn so maybe she can win some ribbons the next show. We also keep telling her that the most important thing is to have fun and do her best. We could have entered her into one class so she could have gotten a participation ribbon, but we decided not to. She is competitive enough and this is a lesson she needs to learn early on. She is disappointed of course, but she hasn't pouted or whined about it. I am really proud of her.
Daddy ran her around all 3 barrels. She had a blast! Of course Daddy was about to die when he got back over to us though LOL. She was pulling back on Biggy as Neal was trying to get him to run. He was trying not to fall on his face and didn't see what she was doing.
