Wow! Its been awhile since I have posted updates to the blog.... will start trying to keep these regular. We have made alot of changes in 09 with the decision to sell Clayboy and focus on our riding. We sold Clayboy to Lisa over at Win-Huynh-Ranch and feel good about our decision because now with all the updates we get from lisa we know he is happy and she has lined up an exceptional band of mares for his 2010 breeding season. We also get visitation with him every summer which is good.
We bought some new riding horses and put training on the young ones we have here. We bought Starburst Danny for Kata (our 10 year old daughter) and he is probably one of the greatest youth show horses we have seen. He is right up there with our old black horse, Blue, in terms of his temperament. The kids can do anything with him and tend to fight over him. HE is a true packer and I never have to worry with him whether kata is in lessons or showing. He also understands voice commands so when she daydreams (which she has a tendency to do) he listens for the announcer! lol.... this is so true... have to see him to believe it. Danny is 15 and we hope we will have him with us for many years to come.
I started riding him over the winter to build my strength and confidence and he did the job. After four kids and many years out of the saddle, Danny sparked my passion for riding again. I then brought Sonnys Free Whisky home... thanks to Gwen for letting me take him... and Whisky is my new riding buddy. Whisky is a step up from Danny as he is much more curious and full of mischief! Whisky is super gentle and wouldnt hurt a fly but he is a big boy and ironically, he looks alot like Danny!
We have put training into Belle and now I am thinking of having her seasoned for youth showing. Pisim is next on the list, Jay is starting to work with her now, I hope to get some better photos and video up of her.
anyways.... will include more updates.... take care!
