My life has gotten absolutely crazy!
Even though things were busy, things were well in hand. Now I am hurt and I can't seem to catch up on everything.
Let me start with Stevie. He still hasn't gotten on a horse, but we are still working on it. I took a saddle stool from my instructor's barn to see if I could get him used to the saddle again. He is sitting on it and bouncing on it. Yesterday and last night he showed a really strong interest in riding. I would ask him if he wanted to play cowboy and if he wanted to get his own ribbons for showing and he would say yes each time. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can have a wonderful and happy update on his riding really soon.
Beth was in her first horse show. She did great and I was so proud of her and happy for her. She got 2 ribbons. She got a blue ribbon for halter at mini stud and gelding and she got a participation ribbon for lead line one barrel. She was so cute and Biggie her pony was beyond awsome. She has 3 shows comming up this next month, but I am afraid we are only going to be able to make it to two.
Bill our gelding has an ulcer on his blind eye. The dang thing isn't wanting to heal up. It was better the last time the vet was out, but still not healed up. Hopefully when she comes out this week it will be a lot better and we can go about our business.
I am having issues with Kelly. She has hurt me twice. Right now I am walking around with a wrap on my elbow and a brace on my wrist. My arm is getting better, but I have too much to do. She really did it in the other day when the ferrier was here. When she pulled back that last time I thought I was going to toss my cookies. I couldn't hold her anymore cause she kept acting up, so the ferrier tied her up. She did great after that.
We have planted a garden for the first time. The economy might get bad, but I'm gonna eat. lol
Poor hubby has so much he needs to do. He is working so much that he can't get it done though. He is going with us to horse shows. He feels that it's important to be with the kids, and it is. Beth loves having her daddy there to be with her. It's just slow going around here, but it's getting done a little bit at a time.
It just seems like lately there are not enough hours in the day to do what needs to be done.


Wow. I thought I was a busy girl, but you got me way beat. Then again, family life always tends to be a bit chaotic. But sounds like your keeping your head on your shoulders. I salute you there. Gosh....kids, ponies, horses, husband. I love the fact that your kids are involved. I always said if I ever had kids I would want them involved in the animals, but would always let it be their decision. Stevie sounds like he'll come around. Especially if he sees mom and sister having fun with them
