We are a family oriented farm that lives life together. This is a diary of our lives together, and the ramblings of me, the trainer.

Happy Birthday Paula

Today was Paula's offical birthday. Happy Sweet 16!!! We had a big party for her on Sunday with nearly 50 people in attendance. We rented a dunk tank and big speakers on tripods. I'm sure our friends at J & B could probably hear the ruckus. I'll post pics as soon as they get downloaded.

My big girls have camp all this week. We had a good first couple of days. They spent yesterday working on their dressage tests for Clemson in a couple of weeks. Then today we schooled over fences. Followed by a trail ride and another evening lesson. Paula and Amador are doing really well, and will be ready to get around the courses at Clemson. She won't be able to do the height fences that she really wants to, but is excited to get him around. Nicole is still debating who she is showing and where. One of her horses is going to Clemson, but we're not sure which one.

We did take a break today and went to Splash Island for awhile. It seems we can't go anywhere without running into someone you know. We ran into Annie Walters and her family at Sonic, and then Nancy Harrel at the water park.

The girls will finish out the camp week schooling cross country Thursday at One Tempi, and then Friday at Stono River. Pictures to come after we've been.

Shiloh's Tall Tale aka. Shoalih's Tale

Showing off my baby

The above slide show is pictures I've managed to accumulate of my pride and joy...Shiloh. These are all pictures I've found of him on the web. They start with him as a yearling at the Saratoga sale and go up through his winning at the race track. You will find more pictures of him in the bottom slide show at the Clemson show with one of my students aboard back in Dec. 2007. Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures of myself showing him in the near future.

You'll notice a couple of the pictures are during his time at Canter. Please check out their website at http://www.canterusa.org/ohio They are running on very hard times right now and every penny people can send their way is greatly appreciated by the horses. If everyone who checks our blog regularly could send just $5 they could feed a horse for a month.
