New filly!












Back in may I purchased a gorgeous little filly! Lucky for me, I found quality breeders right nearby. It was hard waiting all summer to get her home, but at the end of august we finally went to pick her up. I got to meet her big handsome dad and a bunch of the other foals. They are all very nice looking horses. I was tempted to fill up my trailer with pretty babies! I'm really excited about her! She's my favorite color too, a lovely grulla. I couldn't have asked for a better horse, she's been a lot of fun and handles everything so well. I'm hoping the good weather lasts a while longer so we can continue to make progress. She's going to be a great addition to my herd! The first picture is her at a day old and then 3 1/2 months. I love her!

Updates

Wow, it's been a while since I last posted. My journey is still going pretty good, slow but good. I'm trying to find time to play with all my horses but it hasn't been very consistent. I'm happy to say that we've progressed to the point where I feel like I now have 2 riding horses. My levels horse, Moon and my second horse, Buddy. He's coming along pretty good, I'm quite happy with him. I've really only started riding him this year and he's doing fairly well. I managed to get a few rides on him off the yard in the field nearby as well. True to his left brain self, he's taking things well and is nice and quiet throughout most things we've tried.
My paints are in another pasture for the summer but I had a couple good days with each of them. Everytime I'm with them I realize just how much I really like those 2, they are going to be some lovely riding horses someday. I had a first ride on Copper, just hanging out on his back and doing a few things. I can't help but like him :)
I'm also excited to say I have a new addition to my herd, a lovely new filly! I've had her for a month now and she's been a lot of fun. I can't wait to see where the 2 of us can go together.
I've even been invited to play with a few horses belonging to a friend. It's always fun to play with new horses and hers have all been great.
I've even found some new riding buddies this fall, that's always a bonus, can't have too many riding friends!
So to sum it up, I really can't complain about my summer. I'm surrounded by good horses and good people to enjoy them with! I'm pretty lucky!
