Around the homestead Fun!

Well first thing Allen hung near the house in case dad needed any help doing the pipework under the house so with the Buick backed up in the corner of the driveway Allen decided he could crawl into the trunk and figure out why the latch isn't latching and get it to latch. 

"Hi Allen!"

 

Then later in the afternoon once we here mostly done running around doing this and that, Allen brought the wheeler over and dragged the Roark's field and I seeded it. 

Some spots were seeded heavily other spots if it got a light coating was doing good.  It depended on how they looked.  So afterwards Allen and I sat outside with the horses while they grazed the drain field down again, before putting them back into my pasture.  They are very miffed at why they can't be back in the other field. I want to give it a couple of days to start growing at least and since it rained last night it should help it! 

Happy Easter to everyone!  We'll be having some fun later in the afternoon once the weather clears up! 

Overdue posting!

     Well it's a long over due posting so with as few words as possible and pictures in the middle!  Opps Definently catch up time!
     Well Friday Kylie came down for spring break and being the only decent day we went for a ride(we had intended to ride a bit more often!) Well first things first, we measured Phoenix and got the right gullet into his saddle, then as I was bringing the saddle back into the barn so we could ride, I slipped in the mud, knees down and saddle down into the mud!  Heck the poor saddle didn't even get on the horse before getting filthy!  So we rode-me filthy and all!

     After our short ride Kylie showed me how to pull her mane, so I pulled Heidi's mane basically even.
     Phoenix and Heidi were grazing across the drain feild while I did this.  You can see the mud on Phoenix's saddle now!

Then Saturday was a bunny show!  We didn't do quite as good as normal but we're improving!

     On Sunday we went around looking at boarding barns for when Kylie moves down- we found a winner! Tamarack which is about 10 miles from A.Lisa's, he's got several horses we can use for lesson mounts and then in the fall when I put Phoenix down I can move Heidi there and have a HUGE indoor to work in all winter long!  That indoor is 210'x 160' and stall board is only $400 a month. 
     Then a short blurb on Ladies Night ~Round 2~ at least for A.Lisa and me!  Kylie had never fired a gun and there was still a few spots for Monday nights Ladies Night, so we went! 
Me and the Walther PPK (380) were good buddies!  I REALLY like that gun!  Found out it was James Bond's gun too- shamefully I'm not a James Bond fan. 

Tony Pignato was the instructor- his two helpers this time were Evan and Josh.

Pheonix's saddle and more SNOW!

     I got Phoenix's saddle in yesterday-of coarse so I brought my leathers that I have and stirrups in and got the saddle put together.  I know it doesn't match right now but I figured I'd use the leathers that I have right now instead of going out and buying another new pair of them.  I'll wait for Rolex and get some out of one of the deal tents and then put this with a set of the 4 inch stirrups back onto that treeless and sell it.  I took it outside today and I did sit it on Phoenix on its way to the barn but sadly it was a tight fit and that's without his saddle pad and his riser pad.  So yep, he's gotta wait until I can get the next size up gullet for the saddle! 
     The ponies were cold this morning in the snow, after raining all day yesterday so I tossed their blankets back on and they kind of snuggled a little in them.  We got about 1.5-2 inches of snow-see what you're missing Uncle Jim?!

Looks good with both saddles sitting there!

Sorry it's brief but I'm heading out the door for work!

Ladies Night at the Range!

Well there won't be too many words as I'm tired!  Once all the cheeriness and energy wore off, I'm bone tired!

Aunt Lisa and I went to Bud's (Velocity's Training Center is apart of Buds).  And They hosted this for women and hand guns.  They had 16 handguns out for us to test, plus people could bring their own.  We didn't have one of our own we went so we could try some of them out. 

My favorites were a Walther 380 and a Glock 19. 

I know this one that we were up against the wall was the Glock 19.  Aunt Lisa's got a really nice grouping!!!

 

My Favorite!!!!! The Walther!

 

One of Aunt Lisa's favorites.  She also like the Bretta Cheetah and the Glock 19 I do believe!

 

 

 

 

Tattoo's and New cages

I bought a few new cages as I start to redo my cages and replace some OLD ones that are starting to fall apart.

Colby and Leo got the first two, still tossing up weither Dalton gets the last one or Tigger.  I love both bucks very much. 

Then 10 got tattoos for the first time and I had three that had to have their's either darkened in or redone completely

Penelope's was the last one done so it came out the nicest. 

The new tattoo pen is a hit, it's more comfortable in my hand and way easier to use.  The old tattoo pen is going to a friend to use, she's going to get the replacement needles it needs.
