THE FIRST DAY WITH FLICKA WAS INCREDILBLE. SHE STOOD LIKE A PERFECT ANGEL WHILE SHARON AND I TUGGED AT HER WIND KNOTS IN HER MANE AND BRUSHED THROUGH HER TAIL, THANK GOODNESS FOR COWBOY MAGIC. I INTRODUCED HER TO THE LONG LINES AND THE SADDLE PAD AND U COULD SEE THE LIGHT BULB GO OFF AS SHE STARTED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS ASKING HER. TOMORROW SHE WILL FIND OUT WHAT A BIT IS AND HOPEFULLY ATTEMPT TO TAKE HER IN THE OUTDOOR ARENA.

WE HAVE NAMED HER FLICKA!!!

SHE'S HERE!!!!!! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. IT TOOK US ABOUT TEN MINUTES TO LOAD HER NOT TO BAD, AND SHE UNLOADED LIKE A DREAM AND SEEMS TO BE SETTLING IN VERY WELL. UNTIL TOMORROW.

I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A WHILE, I AM SO SORRY. JUST HAVE BEEN BUSY WITH THE KIDS AND GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS. I HOPE EVERYBODY IS HAVING A GREAT THANKSGIVING, AND THANKING THE LORD ABOVE FOR ALL THAT THEY HAVE. WELL I DO HAVE A LITTLE NEWS, OK A LOT OF NEWS. LOL. FIRST WE HAVE BOON AT THE FARM WHO IS AN 18 YR QUARTER HORSE WHO BELONGS TO DANIELLE, THEY HAVE SADDLE FIT ISSUES WE ARE DEALING WITH. THANKS TO TIMBERLINE SADDLES WE CAN FIX THAT, HE IS GOING LIKE A DREAM NOW, BUT IS IN NEED OF A CHIRO, HOPING TO FIX HIS MOVEMENT IN HIS REAREND. HATS OFF TO DANIELLE WHO SEES A HORSE THAT WANTS TO BE GOOD AND FOR NOT GIVING UP ON HIM. LAST BUT NOT LEAST SOME OF U NOW I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A PROJECT SINCE THEY R NOT BRINGING THE MUSTANGS BACK TO MADISON, AND I FOUND ONE. SHE IS A 15h BLACK WITH STAR MUSTANG. SHE IS SO AWESOME I CAN NOT WAIT TO BRING HER HOME ON SATURDAY. SHE IS NOT TRAINED AND HAS NOT BEEN IN A TRAILER SINCE SHE WAS A YEAR IN A HALF AND NOW SHE IS 8. SHE SHOULD BE FUN. SHE IS REALLY GENTLE BUT WAS NOT ASKED TO EVER DO ANYTHING TO MUCH AND AT FIRST SHE MIGHT TELL ME TO PISS OFF, THAN I HOPE SHE WILL COME AROUND TO MY WAY OF THINKING. SO I WILL DEFINITELY KEEP UPDATES AND PICS, HOPEFULLY EVEN VIDEOS OF OUR PROGRESS. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

DEB AND REBEL SHARON AND AMIRA AT POPPLE RIDGE.

THE WEEKEND WAS NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL, WE SURVIVED TRICK OR TREATING AND WE ALSO WENT ON A NIGHT TRAILRIDE TONIGHT, WHICH WAS A BLAST. AFTER THE 4-H MEETING A FEW KIDS COME BACK TO THE FARM AND SADDLED UP. NIKKOLE AND LIL MAC----HER NEW HORSE YEAH!!!!! JADA AND BARNEY, SHARON AND AMIRA AND I RODE JAKE PONYING MADISON ON RUSTY . ALL THE KIDS AND HORSES DID GREAT. JAKE DID GOOD SINCE HE NEVER PONIED A HORSE BEFORE, SO I GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR TOLERATING THAT, PLUS I THINK HE MISSED AMANDA HIS NEW OWNER. YEAH AMANDA!!!! AS FOR MADISON AND RUSTY IT WENT GOOD, AT FIRST I WAS WORRIED, BUT BY THE END SHE WAS SINGING SONGS. IF IT WAS UP TO HER SHE WOULD RIDE HER PONY JOEY, BUT I REALLY WORRY ABOUT HER GETTING KICKED SINCE SHE IS SO CLOSE TO THE GROUND, SO RUSTY IT IS FOR NOW. WE ALSO HEARD FROM COCO'S NEW OWNERS AND EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT IN MINNESOTA, SO ALL IN ALL IT HAS BEEN A THUMBS UP WEEKEND.
