I did get Rayne to a trainer she stayed till May and was really nice but so big so I was thinking of selling but unsure if I wanted to deal with people and then I see a post of some guy looking for a tobiano paint horse taller than 15 hands. Well how could i not resist putting her on there and so he asked a few things about her which I didn't know much since I hadn't done anything with her and she wasn't home yet. I really tried to get him to call the trainer but he didn't want to. I told Alex I had a guy interested and he even suggested they call him. But anyways I brought her home on a Thursday and he come Friday and really liked her. He was at the rodeo all weekend but wanted to come back Monday. So sure whatever. I just kept up life as if they didn't want her but they come Monday and I rode, his wife rode then he rode her. It was a lot for Rayne but she just took it all in stride. They didn't bring a trailer but they really wanted her and came back Wednesday and took her home. No dickering on price or anything. He did ask if we could measure her and I had no problem with that and she was 15.2 already lol guess she was tall. She just didn't look it since she was fit.<br />

Otherwise not a lot of riding happened early in the year. April 19 was my first ride on Jess in a year and a half and she was so awesome. Then after a few rides I noticed she was short striding, kinda like a pulled hamstring. We got her massaged and that all organized and through it all they told me to keep riding her, slow easy rides so I did. Me and Char headed to Sandy McNabb that was a super cool day, woulda liked to go more it just didn't work out. But I did get to Janice's and get to ride with her and Colleen for 5 days that was awesome. Then the weekend after I had planned to go to the Donalda poker ride and it was 2 days of fun as well. Then in October she decided to colic. yuck. my first bout with it, luckily after a vet trip and a lot of painkillers and oil she seems ok. That was scary, never wanna do that again.<br />

Won a breeding in a Facebook auction to a super cool paint horse so I bred Razz to him, I think it will be a good cross, hes proven, does everything, And his babies are doing western pleasure, jumping, English, roping, trails. Sounds like a good cross. Im excited for this, hes also homozygous for tobiano so the foal with be a paint. Hes bay so lots of colors available, I am not picky lol <br />

Heard back from Rayne and she was pushy, which I knew but shes better and progressing nicely, I may go down this week if it warms up and see her.<br />
<br />
And biggest news is I sold Easy. Sad that is my cutting dreams for this year but I put the money in a gic for when Dixon goes. Which I talked to him about taking him, he would prefer started and wants him in March or April next year. Kinda excited. Anyways Easy sold to a gal doing high school rodeo, they also ranch and he said shes a good hand so that's good. I may have to keep track of her and go see him this at a show. Will miss the silly bugger although makes my life freeer and have many plans for this summer already in place :)<br />

I been crocheting of course, cant show my last make till next week as its a gift, but I also made a shawl and a sweater and a baby blanket. Since I signed up for a craft sale in May I want a few things made up that I can have there, Also gonna make some unicorn purses, some baskets, scrubbies, dishcloths, scrunchies and face cleaners. Also gonna have some wood stuff there too. Not sure what as there is still a 4 foot drift in front of my wood shop so its out of use for now. <br />

But its been -20 or colder everyday (except 1) since the first of February so I turned out Pally and I had planned for Rayne to go to the trainer on Feb 6th for a couple months, get started and going good so when its nice (ish) here in April I can ride out on her. Well it was -34 when we were supposed to load and so I wimped out and we decided he wasn't doing much anyways so wait till the next week. A little warmer, only -21 and Rayne was so good, shes kinda a pleaser anyways which helps a lot. but shes only been loaded once before when I went to pick her up. So I asked Neil if he would help and I brought Jessie too. we walked up tot he trailer, I had shavings down and she thought she would eat them silly girl. I could get her front feet in without even asking but she wouldn't take those last two steps and she just stood there. I tried bribing her with cookies which I don't normally do but it was cold! Anyways swung my lead rope and she backed out but no biggie, just walked front feet in and stood again, not worried just hanging out. I was cold, Neil was cold and I finally said to Neil you have any ideas I don't know what to do. and kinda just gave up. Well up she hopped in. So lots of scratches and there was a hay bag there too and we tied her up and closed the door. All in all was only 15 minutes, I was surprised at that felt much longer. Got there and we put her in the indoor arena to run around and she was excited to run without snow and ice everywhere it was funny. He said he does that a lot then they can check out everything and its not a scary new place when he takes them in there. We visited a while then I headed home and got home before dark and turned out Jess. Got an update the other day, they did say I can ask but I don't wanna bug them everyday, well I sorta do but trying not too. He said she was pushy and tried to run him over which I knew she definitely did try that here too but he said shes coming along pretty good. <br />

Well big changes here. Today Easy went to Doug's, he's gonna leg him up and sell him. I will be sad but I think its best in the long run.<br />
<br />
And Pally came along as company and she's staying in for a few days or months lol I am gonna ride her and probly sell her as well.<br />
<br />
I got to use my new trailer it pulls so nice! I got it last October after selling mine in June cause it just wasn't what I wanted and this one is almost exactly what I was looking for except its steel not aluminum but I will use it for a few years and see, it was a steal so I couldn't resist. No pun intended.<br />
<br />
And I got Rayne booked in for 2 months to get started, she will probly be for sale but I'm in no hurry for her to sell, I really prefer they are nice and broke before I sell so it may be another year but she's so big already and she's 3 how do they get so old so fast???<br />

Looking into a beginner ranch roping clinic, I will take Jess cause that's one of my goals this year is to learn to rope and shes my best candidate cause shes done it before. Not a lot but she did get roped off at a branding and could care less unless you slapped the rope on your leg but that's dealwithable.<br />
Also going to take Jess to BC and we are gonna do some of the rocky trails cause she will have shoes all summer, I'm pretty excited about this.<br />
<br />
My boys are growing, Huck is becoming quite bossy and I had to get after him the other day, he wouldn't let Dixon in all day to eat so I locked Huck out and in the morning they were best friends again. Huck is really good at joining up and Dixon is really good at disengaging the hindquarters, partially cause he wants to keep and eye on me but whatever I will take it haha. Haven't actually "done" anything with them lately cause of my back but I do have to go in there everyday to feed them so spend a little time just visiting and being friends, its working Dixon comes up to me now, Huck always did.<br />

<br />
Got goals for Jax as well, gonna get him pulling a cart and want to go on a group drive with him. And Razz, shes probly gonna have an easy year but I'm sure she will get used here and there :) And Nita. Haven't decided what I am doing with her yet, I will probly end up selling her turns out I can only ride so many and looks like about 4 is more than I need so that means 5 to sell but not yet if I get 2 sold I'm happy with that for this year.Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18035210092855895218noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136171157636730536.post-81510649100795610702019-01-02T23:37:00.003-07:002019-01-02T23:37:51.441-07:00Wow 2019Where has the year gone, I cant believe my last post was a year ago! And so much happened last year too. Lets see if I can make a short summery.<br />
<br />
Horses. Didn't sell any, had 2 new ones born, Dixon out of Jess and Watson out of Nita. Unfortunately Watson died at a month old from I don't know what. That was sad, I was really excited for my Hezgonnabefamous horse. But I still got my cutter to be and since I had no one to wean him with ended up with another colt, ranch bred, a 3/4 brother to a colt I raised in 2010, Jamaica. He is such a nice horse, so confident and comfortable in himself its just odd but I love it. He will be a good fit in around here too, since my other 2 ranch horses are 13 and 14 now, I dunno how that happened.<br />

<br />
Rode very little, 10 maybe 12 times this year because of my back and my knee. Not impressed with that but I am working my way back up this year.<br />
<br />
Making some decisions on what to do with Easy, was planning on showing this summer but with my back the way it is I'm not sure I can and talked to my trainer today and he asked if I wanted to sell him, I never even thought of it but it would kinda make sense and he said he could probly sell him for what I paid without anyone even trying hom. tempting, I really like him but since I cant haul him alone or ride out on him if I cant cut he would be an arena horse and I do not need that, I can ride any of my other horses in an arena if i wanted. So now to decide what to do. It would be nice to save that for Dixon's training but it would be nice to show and get some experience doing that too. Of course if I do get better there will always be more horses for sale. <br />
<br />
Crochet-- Well since I didn't do much horse stuff this year I did a lot of crochet. I am really enjoying it and even getting a few orders in, that's great, I can pay for my hobby :)<br />

More Horses--Got a chance to go photo wild horses with a friend, that was really cool they were quite calm and stuck around a long time, kinda boring no play going on but that's OK it was still pretty cool. Id like to go again in the spring time maybe.<br />

The pattern said one ball of natural but I was suspicious when it said 3 balls make a scarf, hmm and one will make a pillow? Well I got about 12 inches and they want 17 to cover the pillow form so I will add more wool when I can find some. The Fields in Hanna usually carries it but they were out from Christmas haven't restocked yet. <br />

And it sounds like I am gonna have a lot more time to crochet in the next few weeks and my chiro is pretty sure I injured a disc. He kinda thought last time but now he says its healing way slower than a joint/muscle should so he thinks its a disc. Which he said heal fine 98% of the time they just take a long time. Not what I wanted to hear but I guess not much I can do about it except rest and heat and small easy activity. <br />

I went swimming Monday and that felt really good, better if the hot tub was working but still nice to float with no weight on the spine. They have renovated the pool and now its deep almost all over cause they built a toddler area (that noone was using while we were there). I wish they woulda left 2 lanes shallo so we could walk still that was great back therapy. We used water belts but they just are not the same. Might have to actually swim when I can.<br />

<br />
Went to the chiropractor yesterday and he sees me walk in and looks at my back and says he still wants to be friends after this. Well I knew it wasn't gonna be good lol. He wasn't too bad, used his hammer on the backs of my knees and my lower back and a bit higher too then put the hips back in (that wasn't that fun) Still sore but less intense pain its just sore muscles now that need to relax. I go back tomorrow and I think maybe that's all for a while. I only went 7 times last year that's gotta be a record thought i was doing pretty good. Till this. I also asked him about the weird clicking noises and he says on the outside of hips and I said mostly he said there is actually a name for them called clicking hip syndrome. Its when the tendons slide over the hip back into place, especially loud on tight muscles. Not much I can do about it either, and its not bad or good it just is. But now I know.<br />
<br />
The weather had warmed up beautifully here was +4 today and melting :) Still was inside but its nice to know I could go out haha. Saw the last of the ponies come running up this morning, not sure why they were behind but I like watching them. Can always tell Razz even if shes just a shadow cause shes always loping in, everyone else walks or trots in. Speaking of Razz I am in the 12 week challenge on Facebook again with her gotta get 30 rides, 40 hours horsemanship all within the next 12 weeks, starts Sunday, hope I'm up for that then.<br />

Many things have changed and I have changed and therefore I am hoping more stuff I want to get done this year does and it will be awesome!<br />
<br />
1. First off 2 new foals how can that not be so fun! I plan of halter breaking them early of course since its during branding season it may not go as smooth as planned but it will happen eventually.<br />
<br />
2. Cutting. I have plans to start riding Easy as soon as I can. I kinked my back on Friday so I'm out for week or 2 and still working on finding a place. Then come April he will go be boarded at the trainers and then if I can't ride at least they will keep him in shape for showing.<br />
<br />
3. Finishing projects at home, I have a huge work in progress list, both of crafts, woodworking and building items I want to get done. I have made out a list/timeline and gave myself goals for when they are done I think it will work knowing exactly what I need to do.<br />
<br />
4. And of course my other horses, I have goals for pretty much everyone, all listed out, I wont bore you with them here but it starts with getting Rayne started and taking more clinics with Razz to have her calmer and relaxed in groups. And taking Jax on a group ride/drive. And probly leasing Pally out after branding season, I have a few places asking about her and so we will see, not like I won't have enough others around lol. Only one who doesn't have a goal list is Jessie which is weird for the first time ever for her. Still debating on Nita, whether to breed her back or ride her we will see how the foal is and how she is.<br />
<br />
5. Enjoy every moment. So even now as I am laying in bed writing this up I have taught myself to crochet. So far just a single crochet in a dishcloth but I want to make some log pillows for my window seat so I need to practice. Times a wasting gotta do something.Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18035210092855895218noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136171157636730536.post-27252376796622324282017-12-28T15:00:00.002-07:002017-12-28T15:00:26.152-07:00CO ScareYesterday as I was testing out my dehydrator making apples and pears, I had a box of pears I got from a preschool fundraiser and wanted to make some jam but there was a lot and so I also canned some. The vanilla pear jam soooo good! <br />

But since all burners and plugs were used (not quite but it seemed like it) I cooked us burritos in the oven, nothing I haven't done before. But before lunch was over the fire alarm went off. Well the microwave above he stove quit so that meant I had so exhaust fan either and I figured that's what it was. Well turns out no. It sounded weird so we listed and she was saying carbon monoxide warning. Not good. Well I guess you are supposed to turn off all gas powered appliances and let it cool and then test again. Well lunch was almost done and the canning was done so off went the stove and oven and we opened the doors even though it was -22*C outside and we turned off the furnace. The alarms went off and never went again so we guess it was good this time. I turned back on the furnace and left the doors open a bit to circulate some air.<br />
<br />
Then off to google I went to see what I could find. Turns out all gas ovens vent into the house they say it is a safe level. I noticed last couple times the fire alarm went off it was when the oven was above 400, below that it never bothered. I think its a mix of the oven needing cleaning and no exhaust fan and Neil was in town and he said something to the electric guy and he said they go off a lot when its this cold out. Makes sense we are not going in and out very much and its pretty sealed up inside. So I guess as soon as it gets a bit warmer so I can leave the door/window open I will clean the oven, the second sounds nice. And we have a new microwave with exhaust fan that I bought of a buy/sell group and we should put that in before I do much more cooking. I was thinking I haven't had a microwave in a month I didn't need it. But I guess I need the fan. And I want popcorn lol.Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18035210092855895218noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136171157636730536.post-57303336552378729202017-12-25T19:19:00.001-07:002017-12-25T19:19:19.795-07:00Merry ChristmasWe spent the 23rd in Medicine Hat at a funeral for a good friend, She will be missed. Cancer sucks. But she is in a better place now and we will all see her again one day. While we ere there we finished up our Christmas shopping and then had supper and headed home. <br />
<br />
Sunday we were on our way to Olds after Neil finished chores. But first our neighbors come and we had coffee and Baileys with them, must have Baileys in all coffee at Christmas time ;) Then the waterers were frozen so it actually worked well cause they were thawed by the time the neighbors left. So we packed the truck and off we went.<br />

Was a good day , we opened presents and ate and got stockings and visited and lots of laughing occurred. I had most of my shopping done early and I really liked that it saved a lot of stress except what shoulda been easy was hard, t-shirts for a teenager, well last place we stopped at had the best ones and they were cheap! We shoulda gone there first. <br />

I haven't rode in 6 weeks, probly the longest ever since I got a horse back in 2004. Not sure I like it even though everyone says its good to take a break and its so icy out its pretty well impossible to ride unless I jump on bareback in the field they live in but I don't wanna do that and have 7 loose horses around. I did get the farrier out to do their feet, hes pretty sure hes not gonna do Jess and Nita's feet next summer when they have foals on them so he plans on coming in late may for their last trim. I think I can convince him to do them after that in July or August anyways. Both are pretty good, we will see how they are then, I guess no use worrying about it now. He also thinks I should breed Nita to his cowhorse/ranch stud. I'm not sure, I either breed her back or I ride her and maybe sell her not sure which I should do yet.<br />

We had the craft sale, it was really bad, I sold $125 worth of stuff, less than half of what I usually sell (which is closer to about 300) Because the lady in charge of advertising just didn't. She was supposed to get posters up to all the mailboxes and call in for free advertising on the radio and she did nothing so no-one came besides the people selling and a few others. So I don't think I will go next year and have started a Facebook group for selling my stuff, been looking around at a few other craft sales that only sell homemade stuff and there is a couple not too far I may try for next year.<br />

Its winter we had about 6 inches of snow and its still here 3 weeks later. I'm about sick of it. I really need to do something about being stuck here all winter. I make plans every year and think it will be fine. But its not. I hate being stuck inside and I cant go outside when its that cold cause I can't breathe.<br />

Otherwise horses are turned out and will be probly till February or March now cause its so miserable already and I can't see it changing a whole lot. Which sucks.

Cows are all weaned, we are feeding already even though its way to early, we are gonna have to buy more feed. Calves are all sold and in their new homes, we did something different this year and sold them ahead of time and it seemed to work OK, was nice no need to order trucks they just showed up. Even though they were about 40 pounds heavier than we guessed at. Bulls are home and being a pest, specially when the gate is left open and they wander around the yard. We are looking at buying cows again and sales are on Saturdays so hopefully sometime soon we will have a bunch of new ones.<br />

Our local craft sale in on Friday and so I have a bunch of jams and bath items and a few sewing and wood projects as well. I'm hoping to sell out but I doubt that's possible haha. Oh well gave me something to work on, although I wish I could use my woodshop more but its too cold in there cause when I work I gotta have the door open. Another item for my wish list. I did get business cards and they are so cool! I really love them haha and I got a car magnet cause it was super cheap at checkout. <br />

Since I was feeling a lot better today finally. Turns out there was about 6 people who got sick after the party on Sunday, noone wants to say who was sick then and I don't blame them lol. Did chores this morning and then waited till it got warm enough and thought I should go for a ride. But I really needed to check the fence in the winter pasture before the horses move there Sunday or Monday. So I took Jess and we went around it, no reason we can't do 2 things at once. It wasn't bad, a spot where the bulls went through, a couple wires needed stapled up and a couple posts needed. But all in all nothing my horses would go though. The bull spot was covered in panels and Neil plans to fix that this week. I will nail the staples in and he will pound the posts then I will put the staples in there too.<br />

And Shirley was asking about Rayne, well I haven't had much time to do stuff with it being weaning season and all but after Wednesday I think we are pretty well done for the year. I did figure out she has a lack of respect for space, but that's normal shes young and testing. She got pretty upset at me the other day when I would not let her eat out of my oat bucket and kept crowding me and of course had nothing with me to chase her away with she eventually turned away and crowhopped. Just frustrated didn't know how to deal, but not toward me to that is OK, she will learn. And when she was near me and got chased away when I was opening the gate she ran into me....not acceptable that time I had a lead rope so I just stopped opening the gate and twirled the lead rope it hit her butt and she eventually moved away and I stopped and went back to the gate. Slower than I normally do of course but I think she was thinking it through. She is very sweet wants lots of attention so I been giving her a little, after next week I think I am gonna keep her and Jess in and get her ponying and then she can come out and see the big world. I may take her out on her own as well we will see how much nice weather we get.<br />

I don't wanna do too much too soon but I think she is ready for more so I will probly get her saddled and bridled and long lining and stuff this winter, will wait till spring to actually get on her but lots of stuff to do before then. I'd also like her to load better so I can haul her to Brooks when I go down there and ride.Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18035210092855895218noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136171157636730536.post-64432575426397502172017-10-25T21:44:00.001-06:002017-10-25T21:44:33.719-06:00Riding and RidingWell its fall. I should remember every year that October is always a busy month but somehow I seem to forget. We are well into weaning although I think we are the last this year. We hauled cows home from the community pasture, I took Razz and she stumbled and fell into some brush part way into the ride and something must have got caught in the cinch/breastcollar area and it rubbed her. I didn't notice and she come home with a pretty big sore spot. I felt pretty bad for her afterwards. I kinda was unsure of taking her cause we been working on so much stuff and she really wasn't ready and now I worry I set back with her again. Well I have all winter I guess.<br />

Then I helped the neighbors preg check her cows that was a good day, weather was so perfect and cows worked really well. And we hauled home from the Stettler place and that worked pretty well too, except we hired a guy with a stock trailer to haul some calves and he charged just as much as a liner. We sure won't be getting him again. Might as well hire a liner and we won't haul any.<br />

And Neil went to one neighbor yesterday and I went to another and both those worked well too, this warm weather is pretty nice. Was 23*C yesterday. I took Jess and we gathered and sorted off horseback it worked well. Then after lunch I wasn't feeling very good and I think I have the flu. Good thing we don't have to help anyone till Sunday, hope I feel better by then.<br />

Then Friday I loaded up and headed to Saskatoon to Lisa's and she was hosting an Equine First aid course. It was really cool. Some I had known about but lots of new things as well. And good practice bandaging again as it has been a long time since I have had an injury here. Well more than a just a few stitches or a rest/time off injury.<br />

And the cats what goofs, had just done chores and Copper is a little unsure of the horses but every night when I let them out he stays by the yard gate then they go out and he walks over like he chased them out what a silly cat. So since it was pretty nice out I thought I would try to get some good pics of him well not so easy I sat on the ground and he was in my face right away. Got a few funny ones though weird perspective.<br />

I got started on my stairs for the deck finally had a decent day after having everyone out for Thanksgiving. Now its cold again and I'm on my way to Saskatoon for a first aid course but next week sounds like really warm again which is good I have a lot to do still. But the carpenter came and built the roof over the deck and I got 2 stairs done.<br />

And the horse I went to look at well of course she came home, rarely when I go look at a horse am I not sure I'm gonna buy it. So let me introduce Rayne of Terriana. Rayne for short. Shes just a yearling even though she looks big and I think she will be big. I saw her mom shes a sloid black girl and I mean a solid 15.2 maybe 3 and big. But shes nice. so gentle and broke just a nice horse. And the sire wasn't there but she said hes pretty nice and a good 15 hands. So tall it is. But she was so nice. I went there with my default being no and she just changed my mind right away. Very friendly, curious and wants to please. She hasn't had a lot done with her but is halter broke had feet done and she ties. She let her loose in the round pen and tried to chase her around lol and as soon as Rayne figured it out she did it nicely so that was good. Went up Tuesday to get her and she just walked into the trailer no big deal. I like no big deal :)<br />

Well at least I did. I'm hoping Razz did too. We started where we were last time in getting her to give and relax and we did a bit more on the ground and then time to ride. Char got a bunch of pics of me they are awesome!<br />

We worked on more of her getting to be balanced at a trot and eventually a lope but we want solid trot first. She learns easy at a trot, always has and he says lots do you need forward momentum and many walk just plodding along. <br />

We were getting through so much so I just asked a bunch of questions, one was her back up is stiff and I want it softer so we worked on that a bit, I was standing there and he said how hard do you pull and so I picked up my reins and she lifter her front end and was all weight on the back end. Hes like YES! THAT!!! That's what he is looking for when riding and backing. And she just done it :) She's so cool. And expressive, her ears are always on the move when we are doing something, its easy to see when I am asking wrong or weird or she doesn't get it. But she always tries.<br />

<br />
We had our own session in the morning and then after lunch we all rode together, did a few obstacles, jumped walked over a weird camo tarp and the bridge. Razz did all with ease. Then he brought out a tarp on a rope and we followed it then he handed it to me and I drug it and they all followed me. It worked well. I wasn't too worried about that we have carried a flag before but this was a bit different. Then he had us lift it up and pretend to use it as a coat. I'm uncoordinated and it drug over her butt and she didn't care, I've done that before. <br />

<br />
Then we headed out into the field across the road and practiced the same things we did in the arena. That was cool, Razz was just trotting along minding her own business then I asked her to give and relax and it took a couple asks but she did and was so nice! She really elevated when I ask a bit its super cool.<br />

All started a week ago Friday. We sold our calves at a presale they sold really well we are pretty happy with the prices. We are not weaning till Halloween, having a Halloweening haha. And so those buyers will send their trucks here and pick them up and the leftovers (small and whatever else no one wants) will go to the sale the next day. Then my Mom had planned a scrap booking evening so I headed over there and got that done. I had headed home early cause Saturday was the Horse Parade.<br />

I like going there mostly because its all horses but the parade doesn't start till 10:30 so I left home at 9! I got to sleep in even that was weird. Jess was super good as usual, she was even a little lazy but that is just fine with me. Only thing she looked twice at was a team of minis, it was funny like she couldn't figure out what they were. They had made a shorter route cause the rodeo comittee decided they wanted us to stay on Main Street case lots goes on there and if we go on other roads people just watch from their houses. But the road was dug up all summer and so we had to go around some of it. But then they ended it early was only about half hour, kinda short and they didnt go by the nursing home and hospital. So a bunch of us made our own parade and went by there, it took a little longer and we got thanked by lots of people who were waiting there for us. A few teams and wagons, maybe next year Jax can go :) <br />

Then Sunday was East Coulee breakfast, the first one since May and it was good to go again. Then I finished up cooking the crab apples and making juice and pulp. Still have to make it into Jelly and sauce but that can happen when its wintery outside. Monday I skipped yoga cause I was just tired. Although I did ride Razz, she was so fun, she is so brave now its cool doing stuff with her. We started in the arena but that was boring so we went and rode half way around the North pasture then around and saw antelopes. Then back but she didn't wanna go back so I let her pick the way and she headed East away from the horses and whatever then we went around the house and between the steps and garage and over top of the gravel pile. That was weird haha then I decided I was done and so we quit.<br />

Tuesday I shoulda hauled horses down to the arena before theraputic riding but I woke up with a sore throat again and so I just didn't. I did go but not with horses. Then Wednesday was the clinic I wasn't sure how much I would get done but I went anyways. Took Razz and we had so much fun. And Char got some cool pics of me! Finally a few pics of me riding :) We did it a little different, we each had our own session in the morning and I got the start of some lift from Razz that was cool. We also worked on our backup making it softer. Then in the afternoon we all got together and started with a few obstacles and dragging stuff and going over tarps and jumps and stuff. Then we went out in the field and did some of the same exercises it was super good. So much so we booked another day on October 11 to get him again.<br />

Then I had planned to go to Calgary Thursday but we went to the Supreme instead. Then I went to Calgary after and got up early to get in line to buy a Super Nintendo. We got one too :) we were 2nd and 3rd in line that was cool. Then we did a bit of shopping and then went to the football game that night.<br />

Gonna keep trying till I gotta go on the 2nd.</div>

Specially in winter where nights are so long and I don't like going outside cause I don't get along with cold weather.<br />
<br />
So for the winter I been trying to find a place to board Easy to ride and then that would give me something to do, wasn't gonna board at Doug's till Spring cause I don't need him rode everyday till show season. But so far I can not find a spot so I don't know about that. I may just have to haul down to Brooks and just ride him in March, we still have time so I can decide later. <br />
<br />
But I did join the Therapeutic riding again this fall, only 3 more nights of it left. And I started a painting class that is 7 weeks long, its kinda cool cause we can pick our own project and she will help us with whatever we want to work on. I had a couple ideas I wanted and when I talked to her she looked through my Facebook page and wants me to paint horses, well that would be cool but I can't paint a stick man lol. She said horses are her specialty so I said I sure would try.<br />

And then I got a call from Susan at the library, they are doing a paper making on the 12th and then every Thursday after that is come do your own craft night and if someone wants to know how do something we will have an evening on that. That sounds fun, and not restrictive if I don't wanna go I don't have to its perfect. I haven't made paper since I was in elementary school so it should be fun. And I wanna learn to make these cool log cushions so go with the one I have already. And it will be a good excuse to get my cross-stitch done.<br />

I texted Neil and he said that sounded interesting so he may go. I kinda wanted to go but I knew I wouldn't make it in time. Well he went and turns out they had a wreck getting to Kerrobet, the wind was bad or some weather stuff. and were staying overnight. That means they would be there Thursday. So we headed up to see them, was supposed to be at 3 but they got behind and never made it till 5. Which worked out alright cause I went to the chiro and the grocery store, Neil did UFA and then it was time. Well it was so worth going for!<br />

They are so tiny! The one guy got out of his plane and hes taller than it and he just picked up the tail and turned the plane around. I can't even imagine fighting a war in a flimsy plane like that. They look like cardboard but are metal/wood covered in fabric. These are replicas but identical to the originals.<br />

They been flying all across Canada on thier way to Vancouver where one plane is being donated to hang in a museum there. They were in France on April 9th, did a big flyover after the ceremony. Sounds like its been an adventure, they said the tall guy crash landed his plane in a field and it was overseen by the country and they did not want him to leave with his plane so he was stuck there for 2 days while they sorted it out.<br />

The other guy was a pilot of commercial planes as a real job, he said its quite a difference haha 757s compared to these little guys. They are only about 500 pounds and they travel about 65 miles per hour and only can go about 2 1/2 to 3 hours before fueling up. Although they fly higher than I expected, he said up to 4500 feet. The originals had bigger propellers and they flew up to 12000 feet.<br />

Super neat, they answered everyone's questions and then they had a little talk and it was pretty cool. They decided to stay overnight and so we never saw them leave but we did see a helicopter coming in they are cool, I think he was as big as the planes.Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18035210092855895218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136171157636730536.post-57540852877205615352017-09-12T22:33:00.002-06:002017-09-12T22:33:35.485-06:00RanchingWe didn't just travel this summer we actually did a lot of work around here. Since the nephews were here I made a list of things to get done. We got quite a few things knocked off the list and a few still need to be finished but they had to go back to school but luckily its not winter yet.<br />
<br />
One thing I really wanted to get done was work on my tack shed, we killed the grass in front and laid cement blocks down and I wanted it tinned and the roof done and fixed the door. Well the door was easy then we started tinning, it was the tin we pulled off the old house so that was kinda cool, we didn't have to buy any, I will have to buy stuff for the roof cause its a weird shape but it will be so nice when its done. <br />

<br />
Neil also had an old pump house he wanted the roof redone so we got that done.<br />

I still need at least a month more decent weather and then I may have everything done.Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18035210092855895218noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136171157636730536.post-3215849906356783252017-09-04T21:51:00.004-06:002017-09-04T21:51:58.496-06:00Atlas Coal MineSo we have lived about 1/2 hour from the atlas coal mine at East Coulee for at least 16 years And we went one year about 8ish (I cant remember lol) years ago to a ghost walk that was there in the tipple. Which is where they sort the coal. Ever since then I have wanted to go to the rest of it so this summer when My Mom and Clint were out I thought was the perfect time. Neil and Clint went golfing in Rosebud and we were gonna meet them in Drum for supper so we had a couple hours of time left. And so I suggested the mine, everyone seemed happy about it so off we went. It was really good. There was only 5 people in out tour group so that was really nice we got more info and time to ask questions. My mom didn't take the tunnel tour with us because she didn't think she could walk the 200 steps down from there. She did a train trip tour instead and said it was really good too.<br />

Our Lady took us right through like we were miners, from the showers to the tunnel, through the blacksmith and up and then finally in to the actual mine. Was at least a 20 minute walk to the mine everyday. Then they had to go tho the tunnel they were working in, the mine was I believe 8 miles long and 5 miles wide, kinda crazy. They only worked in the winters and were the cleanest guys around cause the showered every night before going home. Sounds like a tough life, they recruited Jaret as a blacksmith helper cause he could lift 2 pails of teeth for the cutters and take them up to the blacksmith shop to get repaired.<br />

And seeing the Biplanes from Vimy that was cool too. But we also did a bunch of horse stuff, like going to a mounted shooting competition down in Brooks. I don't compete but Neil's cousin and his wife do as well as a friend of Neil's from Hanna and a friend of mine.<br />

I got a few pics, was nice cause it was in the outdoor arena so pics turned out really good. Jaret wanted me to get a pic of a balloon bursting but I wasn't fast enough, maybe next time I will try to do a burst shot and maybe get one.

Its about 12 miles away. We have 2 neighbors that work there and so we hear a lot about of it but I too had not been in the yard. So we phoned up the managers and asked if we could come up. She said they were at a rodeo that weekend, her hubby is also a pickup man but the other guy Charlie was there and he would show us around. Sounds good, we had no real big plans just kinda wanted to see it. <br />

<i>(the gate into the yard)</i></div>
<br />
So we headed up there and he met us at the gate and led us in. They put up a locked gate this spring just to keep crazy people out. They spend a lot of time keeping it looking nice, they do a lot of fancy spancy deals there where city people come out and "trail horses" in and then have a meeting. So they want it to look nice and it does. There is a lot of pens and this time of year not much in them which we kinda knew but thats when they were out.<br />

<i>(the retired horses halters)</i></div>
<br />
They had some horses, some bulls and a few studs up close and so we toured them and then he took us in to see the chute where they trim feet and brand and then into the tack room and then the boardroom where they have the halters of the retired horses hanging in there. Neil had been there quite a few times as a kid cause the kids went to school with him and even he said it was changed and updated, looked a lot better.<br />
