Ponies are happy!






I took Penny to give her a good home until I can either find her one or she dies of old age.  Heidi was happier to be home again too, I think she prefers being quiet and out in the countryside. 

Baby Velveteens are doing great!  I am so excited to have the litter on the ground.  I really do want to rebuild from here and keep just my Velveteens and my dutch bunnies.

Small update

Well for a quick short update- 3/19 Was first dog show of the year for us.  Feeling proud of Willow, yes we worked hard but still for not having a trainer or any kind of specialized trainers, to not NQ and not DQ I feel happy, when we place in the ribbons it's just that much better to me.  7 total in my class, 6 showed up and only 3 of us qualified.  We took 3rd place with a score of 189/200.  I didn't ask what I did wrong, I have a feeling I know what some of it was.  But something to improve upon going forward!
Heidi has been good, nothing much to update on there.  At the end of April I've chosen to move her back to dad's at least until the grass wanes again because I'm looking at working a second job and won't leave me much time for her and there's no point to me to keep paying as much for board when I  won't get to see her anyway.  This way will also save dad on gas as he won't have to come get grandma, I'll come out every Saturday, or as close to every Saturday as possible and bring Grandma with me.
Yesterday, 3/25, Dad went through my brakes on my car.  They had been acting kinda squirrelly.  Thankfully the  pads and rotors weren't too bad, they had been replaced not that long ago, since the new ones I had ordered from JC Whitney were not the right ones.  The pads didn't fit and the rotors were not the ones we had thought they were.  Whoops!  I had picked up the Calipers locally so we only ended up going and getting new pads.  Time to return the JC Whitney ones!  The right caliper had started to leak, dad said it wouldn't have one much more than a month anyway.  The car brakes so much better now!

Girls day with Kylie

First thing we did once we were both up was go to the barn.  We had every intention of getting all 4 equines ridden today.
Kylie needed to get on Sabrina again and it's not for a long time so I took Penny.  She needed the saddle time, she gets forgotten more easily.




Then after short rides for Penny and Sabrina we grabbed our drafty girls and got their energy out!





Then after several hours at the barn, well spent, we ran some errands to Lowes for staples(for the air gun), then Kroger for some groceries, and then lastly TSC for some stuff and then we headed for home!  Then we watched Flicka 3-which was really good, and now Dreamer.  Then I think we're both calling it a night!

Better late then never update!

Nothing much been going on in the past couple of months.  I've gotten myself together and gotten a couple Velveteen Lop bucks in to breed with.  I got lucky when a Maryland breeder was going through Kentucky on a personal road trip, had an abundance of bucks  and made me a deal on two bucks.  
Meet the boys:




As of right now I've bred the blue/tan harlequin(second buck) with Oasis in hopes of a blue or broken blue.  

My mini Lop babies are five weeks old today!  I've been so ecstatic to have baby bunnies again.  Tomorrow Natalie's are 5 weeks old.  

Steel buck

 REW Doe
 Chestnut Agouti Doe
 Broken Steel doe- Aya Sora's Destiny

Finally warmed up some and I put Heidi into the wash bay and gave her a quick scrub down.
She's been fitting up, dropping weight and just generally being a VERY good girl.  We ride outside 90% of the time and we will work quite well inside as well.

Snowy Weekend

Snow dog!  KY got another snow storm- Ode to Joy.  It was coming down so hard and the roads turned to crap quick so Friday I left my car at the clinic.  Thankfully I had already put my truck in the barn.  But it got snowed in.  Willow still loves the snow







So today I ended up bringing Oasis inside.  She hasn't eaten or drank hardly the last few days while it's been so cold.  So I ended up getting her an indoor cage.  Tomorrow I'll grab some news paper from the clinic and maybe a puppy pad or two to help.  

We also, for shits and giggles, put one of Eli's puppy jackets on her to see what she thinks .  Give it a good chuckle for Lisa, I 'clothed' Willow!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!
2015 has ended with many changes ahead!  Heidi's at a new boarding barn, Lucky Charm.

We are working with a new bit, a new farm and some new found courage on my part!  Let's rock and rumble 2016!
Willow has gone from a goofball puppy back last January to a decently working dog with pretty good manners.  We titled in Rally Novice and we've got one leg towards Beginner Novice Obedience.  This year my goals are to finish Beginner Novice, and title in Novice Obedience and Rally Advanced and start work on Agility.
I've also been starting to talk to guys, Part of my goal for this year is to start dating again. I know I've said it many times before but this year I really want to.  I don't want to stay single for the rest of my life, just the whole idea of dating scares me.  I've been on and off talking to a single father and I'm hoping as soon as his son is feeling better we can actually meet up for once.  Originally I wanted to wait until after Christmas anyway, but then his son took ill and I've been watching and praying for a healthy recovery for little Peyton so I can get a chance to meet them both!
