Winter Plans

So since Tuesday I have changed my mind, lol.  Sure did not take long.  I am actually gonna bring Jessie and Kali down to Theresa's for a couple months.  And keep Jazz at home and work with her more here then bring her down later when I might be brave enough to get one her and she is ready (which I am afraid will be before me)

But the girl I am riding with this winter wants to jump a little so maybe Kals will have a new career.  There is a instructor there that jumps a lot and so we can get her help if we need but mostly will be for fun.  And the owner of the stable is going barrel racing this winter and we might hop in with her a few times just for fun as well.  However I think Kals will be a better jumper than barrel racer but it might get her out and moving a little better.

So I spent the day sewing up blankets and collecting stuff to go with me and boy a horse sure uses a lot of stuff, especially 2 of different sizes in 2 different disciplines   But not a real big worry cause if I forget something I am home every day and can just bring it the next time as long as its not something real important like my saddle.  I am gonna even try riding Kal in my English saddle and see how that goes.  She might get a few rides in the western one until I feel comfortable since it will be almost a month since I rode last!  Wow that makes me sad to think about that but glad I am getting going again.

And Jessie will just get rode and hopefully after a week or 2 I will get to go to more lessons.  Again it seems like forever since I been, guess I better get more on the ball and more consistent if I am gonna get anything done.  Will be easier now that there is less to do and I have an indoor arena to ride in no matter them temps or the amount of snow on the ground.

And we are headed down to Great Falls for the weekend and I am so excited!  I have so many things I want to get down there and just will enjoy spending the weekend away.  Neil and my Mom and Clint and my Sister and her friend Liz are all going down so it should be a fun filled weekend but exhausting as well.

Wordless Wednesday

Impatient and Bored

So no post in a few days, but not much going on around here, we got the calves weaned and the cows preg checked and the calves got vaccinated yesterday.  But otherwise just moving on into winter.  Even the cats think its winter, he sure had a lot of winter hair ;)

And we have had some really foggy days, like when Neil was bringing the bulls in, it was cold so he took the truck and the bulls took their slow sweet time too.  You would think they would be in a hurry to get home to good feed and shelter with straw.

And the sun started shining on Sunday and made a mud puddle, but there was still lots of snow on my walk down the road.

Then yesterday was just wonderful it was so warm and sunny and almost all our snow dissapeared.

And our Polish hunters were out scouting around and they will be back this week but they brought us a bunch of candies and stuff from Poland, have only tried one kind so far, but is was sure good!

And I talked to Teresa and am gonna bring Jessie and Jazz (I think Jazz, still deciding, lol) down there for the winter, probly going down next week after I go to the farrier.  So its all coming together, it just is taking forever and I am not very patient.

Sunday Stills -- Closer Look

This week we needed to get up close and so I got a few pics of items where i can see detail.

First off is my Christmas Cactus.  I thought I could get a new leaf coming but of course none started this week, so I just got a old leaf and I think I got too close cause you can see the dust on it!

Then since I have been fiddling with my hackmore this week I got a close up of it too.

And the horsehair reins on the smaller one which look fuzzy but in reality are a little pokey, but not bad I don`t even think I will need gloves with them.

And lastly I got this pretty flower I bought one time and it has no real home just kinda floats around the house but I like it so I don`t wanna get rid of it.
