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.

I like the picture with the bunny in Kylie's lap.
