We have had a few things going on here at WDE. The babies have been coming along really well.
We have decided that this year only Bacardi will be going to the Annual Ride for the Roses Thoroughbred show at Donida Farm this year. We have been trying to go for 3 years straight and this year its is GOING to happen. We had hoped to take both the kiddos but the transportation is just not feasible.
Ruffi has had a new rider for a couple of weeks. One of our barn mates Kim, whose mare Lou is retired, has been very kind to take time out of her busy teaching schedule to ride Ruffi one day a week. This is great for both of them. Kim gets ride time and Ruffi gets miles.
Speaking of Ruffi, Preston and I went on a lovely couples evening stroll last night on our ponies, an it was the first time Ruffi has ever walked out around any part of the property! She was a dang rock star and we were very, VERY proud.
In other goings on, Bacardi can actually JUMP!! Like his back feet leave the ground before his front feet touch down! Its amazing and its so nice to know that I did that! I have brought this horse along and I am unbelievably proud of myself.
Other than that, things are the status quo. Trying to get out and ride 5-6 days a week is always a chore. Juggling with jobs and such is hard, but we make it work.
Happy Trails,
