This will be my last post on this site.

I am becoming very busy with work, horses and my business. Besides blogging on a couple of other blogs, ( www.aliciaharper.com and www.xemion.com/blog ) I just don’t have anytime any more.

The site will still remain and you can look for updates on the homepage.

Well Xmas has come and gone and we are on the road toward show season. I personally can’t wait. Our next show is the FEb 10th, Southlands Schooling Show. After that we will probably fit in a schooling show for Fuzz and then off to the APHA show in Chilliwack.

Everyone is doing very well - including Flashy who is now jumping 3′ courses without a problem. I can’t wait until she is ready for the shows. Hopefully someone will take her this spring.

 Vinnie is also doing very well. He is a perfect gentleman with Lori and is coming along very nice over fences. Now jumping 2′6″

Fuzz is now doing her flying changes and is slowly being started O/F. I haven’t pushed her to much as I would like her to complete her flat work first..

Happy New Year Everyone!

We have some exciting news for the new year. We will be attending the Valentine’s Day Schooling Show in Southlands. This year I will be taking Vinnie.

See you all there!

Well I was fortunate to have Monday and Tuesday as vacation days.  And I was able to have time to ride everyone. I rode Flashy on Monday she was very good, we jumped up to 2′9″ and next week we will be starting her flying changes.

Tuesday I rode Vinnie and Fuzz - both were very good. And have now settled in quite well and they seem to like the work they are now doing. Vinnie jumped a 2′3″ vertical and Fuzz as well. Vinnie needs a bit more push to go over the jump and Fuzz just goes over. She has only ever refused twice.. She usually just goes over… Maybe Fuzz is going to be a better hunter than Vinnie… Should be interesting to see how each develops this winter…

Next week , Vinnie and I will be working on his left lead and some small jumps. Fuzz and I will be working on her lflying lead changes and small cross rails.

Nothing in our schedule for this coming month - just schooling unless of course Blue Meadow has another dressage day in which case I am in.

Everything went very well. Tegan rode Flashy and scored hign 50s. Both Fuzz and Vinnie did well, scoring hign 50s. And Suzy had a couple of different riders and she was very good for them as well. She is reall enjoying her life as a lesson pony with Yolanda.

See Attached - shows my days at barn and which days Flashy and Vinnie are not available Black days are when I ride and other colors are when other people are riding and horses are not available.

December Calendar

We have successfully moved all the horses to our new home at Blue Meadow Farm. Flashy and Vinnie are settling in well. Fuzz is having a bit of a hard time but she will come around very quickly.- we hope. Only a couple of things over at Blue Meadow left for us to do, to be completely settled in.

All I have left to do is fill the leasor tack locker and then I am done.

I am looking forward to the Dressage Percentage day on Sunday as we have all three horses in tests.

Will post results after the percentage day.

I actually was able to go to the barn and simply ride Vinnie and go home, it was excellent feeling. Can’t wait to get all my boys and girls into their training programs.

For any of the leasors. I will be posting my schedule of when I will be at the barn riding. ( next post)

This list will be updated as time goes by

Show Schedule 2008

Dec 2^nd – Dressage Percentage Day – Fuzz and Vinnie

So this summer I thought I was smart and I decide to buy a whole lot of hay cheap and get it out the field, so I would have enough for all year. Now I spent all weekend moving it again. And yes - it is just as painful as the first time…

Only a few more loads left - one more day of hauling hay…

After being at where we are now for over a year, we are moving…. Due to my career taking off and just needing an indoor available to ride in - in the crappy weather we are moving Dec 1st to Blue Meadow Stables at that time bothh Flashy and Vinnie will be available for lease.
