Lacey wanting in on the pictures taking.

Just enjoying my new time to spend entirely on horses since Tucker is now in preschool.. I took most of these pictures for sheer fun of seeing them at ease.. All are in there every day look.. Bad hair day and all LOL...

Winter is coming

Winter is coming and today was our first taste. No snow but gloomy and chilly very wintery feeling. Not looking forward to winter at all. Well the horses are starting to look winter ready its sad to loose the sleek and shinny look of summer. Pictured are Gracie's gelding Spyder getting his black back and Cowgirl my winter looking buckskin her coat is the shaggy one first most years, well after the minis that is..

A Big First!

OK, this filly I'm keeping as i bought her mom when she was PG(3 n 1 deal) by the sire of my Cowgirl making this filly a 1/2 sister to Cowgirl.. I've been pleased that I love her mom she is awesome.. But the filly that came on her side and this one don't possess the calm, mellow attitude of the horses I raise in general.. I bred her mom to my stallion and that resulting foal is calm and mellow like I like. This was a test breeding I'd decided not to re breed this mare if the foal came out spicy like the other two from her.. Cowgirls attitude is awesome and very mellow what I like.. Anyhow I've gone back and forth keep this filly sell this filly what to do.. I want a riding horse for myself and I wanted flashy paint I got that in her but time will tell if she will be mellow trail horse.. But today and its a first she came right over to me in the wind, she will always come to me if its calm and nice but toss in funny weather or mostly wind and I can't really get close to her in the open.. But today she came right up to me I petted her, I even dared good hard pat and nothing stood right next to me and even snuggled a bit.. I'm very happy about this.. Laugh but I even jumped up and down and made a few scary sounds to see if she'd stay and she did.. Yea! Hope for her yet.

Today is kinda a gloomy day, some rain and no sun.. The kinda day you can't do alot outside and spend it inside cleaning or like me doing bills(NO FUN)..
Well its also the kinda day that makes you think about the great things in your life as I did when I drove around this morning and my horses were all alert and perky due to weather, making them seem even more impressive to me than usual.. I can't explain to another how wonderful they make you feel just that they do..
I've wondered why so few people take the little things in life that do make you happy and pass them by so easy.. Opting to look for the bigger, and grander things that fade and never last..
People who can't please their inner selves without having something to prove to others that they are wonderful.. I've been blessed to have enough self esteem to not worry about others making me happy at all times.. Been blessed to have found a husband that works with me in life instead of against me.. I know that I'm the only person in this world that is supposed to make me happy and all others that help make me happy are a bonus in life. Awhile back a person tried to take that feeling away and worked very hard to make others feel my horses and I were not worth a thing. Well this has in fact helped my love and enjoyment of my horses grow even more, cemented the fact that my husband would never ever be anywhere but by my side and on my side. I went back and looked at pictures I've taken for years and looked hard to see if ever was a horse/animal thin because of anything other than being sick and well the proof was in the 1000's of pictures I take. I have nothing here that's not in the best shape in could ever be in. I read and watched as a fellow horse person I like on the list encounter about the same ordeal, then another get bashed on a very unhappy persons blog and condemn her horses from only a picture and this persons words that inturn turned a pack of people's opinion to hers very sad. It is so sad that people that don't like themselves and or there lives go out and seek other peoples lives to wreak havoc on just to give them a lift in life..
Glad to say I love my life and will not allow another to damage it for me..
Above is pictures of a few of my horses this morning..

Wonderful weekend!

My weekend was awesome.. My husband is working on silage right now so that's everyday for around 42 days and up & gone by 4:00am back home if lucky by 9:00.. He is so special he makes on day during the silage run that he takes of every year just for me and it to attend the Twombly horse sale I go to every year.. My hubby likes my horses but they are my thing and so for him to do this for me every year is kinda super special.. If you knew his work dedication no doubt you'd all understand I'm getting a huge gift.. This means all employees get day off and no one works as well so I'm sure they kinda like it too.. Well anyhow the sale was fun pretty disappointing prices but still a awesome day, the weather was great and got to walk around and see all the horse, typically this sale lands on a day that's raining and miss the walk around time.. The kids wanted to watch TV in truck the whole time so hubby & I were almost on a date LOL..

A day to cherish for sure.. Anyhow Sat was great to I had lots of extra time after stall clean outs so got to spend extra halter breaking time on the 4 remaining foals here that was a treat.. I really like working all on same day makes you see the differences and enjoy my three by my stallion so much when you work with the outside bred butt head LOL.. I love her but man she is not the same was plain annoyed by the time and pissy the whole time.. My stallions foals just wanted to do what I said so they could get back to grain.. I even got my mini stallions mane re banded(he looks like a circus pony) and these are pictures I put in above.. They are cell phone pictures so not really clear.. Anyhow had to brag up my perfect hubby as he truly is one in a million.. Had a fun family birthday party last night as well, this is my hubby's side and well they are really about the best in-laws you could have..

Took Lacey in to vet today to get out her stitches and well disappointing there is going to be a Frankenstein scar.. Well at least it will be under a saddle pad when she gets riding age but still sad.. It is nice to go to vets though and show off there good behavior, she was a doll while others were dancing and she was getting the stitches cut off.. I also had to load alone this morning besides Gracie helping with the door.. She's not been to town alot so you just never know if they will walk in so well after they hit a year a but rope doesn't always work alone LOL.. Anyhow it was fun day the young fillies I have in barn were a riot when I let them out to day running and playing I had to sit and watch..

Well my days have been so busy have two horses leaving in the next few weeks so I'm just busy and with school starting it will fly by.. I'm glad they both are getting new homes but man how attached you get to the foals when you really get busy halter breaking them and their personality's really show up... It makes me so proud as all of Buckys foals are such lovers it makes it so hard to see them go.. Here's a few shots of Cricket she is off to California, wow she's going to be in the good weather all year.. Her new mom Kaycie is driving clear here to get her so I'm very confident she is getting a very special home.. It will be over 15 hour drive..

But before she leaves Rebel(Burton at new mom Sherri's home)is also going to a new home and his mom too is driving clear here from Washington state. I feel both are going to awsome homes for sure..
