Working hard

We are riding most everyday. This afternoon we hauled into Cherry Croft, a lovely indoor here in RI. Duncan was really good and we worked for about an hour, maybe a bit more. it was cold and very windy, but the indoor makes it bearable.

In May the 6th) we head out to the Horse Park of NJ to attend a Sharon Camarillo Baarrel clinic. A few of my friends will be attending or showing up to spend time with us.

Duncan will be the only STB in the clinic, but that's ok, it's always fun to teach people about the breed and there is no one better to do that than the Big guy. He has such a big, dedicated fan club.

This weekend will be busy. Sat is a tack sale not far from home and I am going to spend time with my good friend Nate.

Sunday my son and his family will be coming for the holiday. He lives in VT so I don't get to see him often so that will be fun. I get to spend time with my Grandchildren.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

A Duncan Update

He is mostly clipped. Long story there but the bottom line is we dulled 4 sets of blades on my 2 sets of clippers. Not to worry, I dropped them off yesterday and they are ready today. I started riding him on Saturday. Yeah, that was real difficult, it was climb on and ride. He is such a good horse. Events are starting up with the Blessing of the Horses this Sunday here in Ri, but I don't think we'll go to that. The weather is supposed to be not nie and with all the rain we have gotten this week the trails will be a mess and I really don't want to ride him on them. I hope all is well with who ever might be reading this blog. In a few weeks we have the SPCA fund raiser and then the following week we are off to NJ for a big Barrel clinic. I hear there will be some folks there to see us. time will tell. It would be really nice if some of the STB folks would show up to support us but I know they will not cause they don't really promote the breed, they promote themselves in their little, tiny backyard world. That's ok, we are out in the big world and loving it. Sorry, just the way it is and how I feel. Stay safe and enjoy the Spring weather. I planted panseys this afternoon, always a sure sign that winter is done. in my mind.

Getting It all Together

We will finish body clipping on Thursday. My good friend Nate is helping me and he does such a wonderful job. My Smith Brothers sale cataloge came today and I was able to finish up all the new colors for this year. Even was able to get a YELLOW saddle pad with custom design on it and crystals. The vet is coming on Friday to finish up all the Spring stuff and then it's really really ride time. The trailer is supposed to be getting painted to match my truck that will be cool for sure. Weather could be better , but it's getting there. I really hope you all are coming out of winter and getting ready for whatever you do with your horses.
