New year!

Hello Everyone-

2011 is here! Sorry, i havent blogged in a while. Life just gets away from me. sometimes it feels like I am just eating, sleeping, working and caring for the horses. But that is a good life. I have heard from a few people who have horses of mine. The horse i would like to feature today is Jewels and her mom, Sam. Sam has had Jewels for over 4 years old. She will be 6 this year. I had her as a yearling. She was a sassy girl. Not even close to the gorgeous mare she is today! Just love her. These photo's were taken in 2009 and 2010. As we say in the Quarter Horse world, Jewels has a great butt! Sam has done a wonderful job with her, dont you think?
Wow! What a looker she is. She has also received Grand Champion for halter at their fair in 2009. They sure look good together dont they? they have grown up together. I thank God for my adopters like Sam and her family. And I have wonderful other adopters as well. And i get to see quite a few of my horses and get updates often.

Other news! We have been accepted to the Midwest Horse Fair again this year! Very excited about that. We will probably be bringing Mya and Raven. Hope to find great homes for those two great girls as well. Rebecca has been working quite hard with Mya and Raven, well we need to do more with her. She is an assertive filly who will be 4 this year. She is a Missouri Fox Trotter. She has filled out alot since she has come to my home. She is also testing me alot. She has been getting out of the pasture area. She stays near the fence with the horses, but it still gets me nervous when she is out. She is also COVERED with burrs since getting out twice. I try to take the burrs out and she is uncooperative! I dont blame her since her coat is long and the burrs are just embedded in her coat! So i do a little at a time. I really need to take a picture of her now. More burrs then i have ever seen on one of my horses!! But she is safe now, i decided to put her in with Kobb and Max. Then of course Antar had a bit fit about it (Raven and Antar - buds forever) so i put him in with the boys too. I was worried because I wanted all 3 boys to be in that pen, but Max ran him around too much and then he was worried about not being with Raven. But it has turned out well. Raven and Antar hang together and then Kobb and Max. I have to watch her because she likes to bully horses out of their grain. And she also will tip over her pail with grain and then move on to the next pail and of course the older guys dont do that and they do not like to eat their grain from the ground! So now i have buckets tied to the panels. And then i found out that she will not cross Kobb! So Kobb and Max eat their grain together and then i put Antar kind of near Raven in the buckets. So far so good. But i really dont want them all to stay together all winter long. She will get the better of the old guys and they really need their grain and not Ms. Piggy beating them up to get extra grain! So this weekend we have hay to stack and also try to find out where she is getting out! I dont have the fence on, but maybe it had better go back on!
Anyhow, she is getting her way and her grain and she likes that just fine! HA! You go girl!
