A US Trotting Article

Jessica Schroder, of US Trotting submitted the information about Duncan's 2010 NBHA awards and it is on the webiste now. For those of you who do not have the address it is www.ustrotting.com and it is in the news section.

They even used a picture of us getting our State Championship Buckle. I love that hardware.
So, if you are so inclined I do hope you will go read the piece.

Stay warm.
Six weeks til our big clinic in NJ and he is still in full Yak mode. I am hoping to get him clipped April 4th. Then it's layers and layers of clothes, good thing he has lots of those.

Stay warm

SNOW!!!!

As I type it's snowing here in RI. YIPPEE, not.
I just received word that my friend Ginny from NJ just got out of intensive care on Monday she says she is still not feeling great. Bleeding Ulcers. I want to wish her best of luck and I really do hope to see her when we go to NJ in May.

Duncan got his first Adaquin booster this am. He is looking great. The weather has not been all that good.

We will be doing his body clip on april 4th, my friend Nate is coming over to help me with it. I have all the clippers and stuff so it's going to be a very enjoyable few hours with a young man I really enjoy spending time with.

We have the Spring Horse Flea Market this Sunday, it's always a wonderful day. My BO and I have a table I'll see if I can't sell more than I buy, always a difficult thing for me. LOL

If you are in this nasty weather stay safe. I am hopeful this is the last of it.

Vacation is Over

Last Monday the Farrier did feet. Checked his joints to see how they are holding up with the Adaquin IM that was given last year. All is well.
'He and Jupiter have had their heads trimmed up.
Friday the 18th the "Vet came out to do the first set of shots and pull coggins. He was pleased with their condition.

March 1st was Duncan's 17th birthday and tomorrow the 20th is our 7th anniversary as well as my husbands 60th birthday.

I am going to start working him tomorrow. Next week he gets a booster of Adaquin per the vet's instruction. LOVE that stuff. Works well for him.

April 8th the Vet is back for the 2nd series and to hand float teeth and do our health certs for NJ.

The weather is so so but I can deal with it.
Lots going on and it feels good.
My medication levels are really good and for the first time in many years I am feeling pretty good.

Next Sunday is the Annual Horse Yard Sale , always a great time here in RI.

I hope everyone is doing as well as we seem to be doing and please stay safe.
Enjoy that beautiful full moon tonight.

Yesterday we received out official invitation to the Worlds in Oct AND the permission to order our
Qualifier Buckles and blanket conchos from GIST they are on their way LOL

Closer To Spring

It rained and the winds were bad. There is some flooding in the area and wires are down. We are fine.

I received a packaage, this am addressed to me and "Duncan The Wonder Horse."

Inside were 2 sets of highly decoracted stirrups. All encrusted in . One set reworked in Pink and Green, the new pair all done up in red, green and yellow. Our wonderful Sponmsor, Gail of Red Turf Ranch Tack does it for us again. We are so blessed to have her in our lives.

I do hope everyone is safe and sound with all these storms
It's almsot ride time.

Spring MIGHT be Close

I trekked out to the barn this morning and even thouigh he had been wallowing in the snow and was pretty wet, I pulled hair out, I love my furminator.
I got out my clippers and trimmed his head and under his neck. Chris did Jupiter also. In a few weeks I will unwrap my trailer and hopefully my husband and the guy across the street will do the minor body work and paint it to match my truck. At the end of the month I will dig out the big clippers and get him fully clipped. I will probably be riding him this week a bit as I can ride in the driveway.

The snow and ice is melting away and that's a good thing.
Everryone stay safe.
Judi and Duncan

A Birthday

On March 1, 2011 we celebrated Duncan's 17th birthday. I made him a Carrot Cake, he ate the whole thing. LOL.
Today Iwent out to the barn. He was naked and he has come through the winter in good shape. The snow in his paddock is almost up to his belly still, but the ice has cleared out of the driveway so ground work will be starting sooner rather than later.

Also, we celebrate your 7th aniversary of his arrival in my life, it seems like yesterday.
Everyone stay warm.
