Tigger

Good-bye to Tigger, Leah's last project horse.  He was quite the project and taught her many things about training.  She learned that training horses is NOT what she wants to do to earn money and that selling horses is REALLY dependent on the market.  While we hope he has a good home, we are not sorry to see him leave our property! 

SLI Graduation

Sat. night was the big night for Andrew as he graduated from an awesome year of SLI. Each of the students had to give a speech about what they gained from the past 10 months.  Andrew had a very touching speech and it brings me so much joy to hear his heart for God and other people.  Great job, Andrew. . .I am so proud of you!

Prom

Last week was Prom night for Hannah and her date, Josh.  Since Josh goes to a different school, they were off to his prom.  The day of the event was unfortunately the day we were putting in 1100 bales of hay.  We did ask her to text us when Josh came to pick her up so that we could see them off and take photos.  They had a good time as they went with 2 other couples from church.

Just a few pictures of Leah and Julia's last show.  Leah took Izara and it was her first time doing stadium and XC.  She did really well and only had a couple of refusals the whole day.  Julia did excellent with Jackson and took second place overall in her level.  It was great weather and fun to watch them both succeed at their goals with their horses.

Jim's New Bike

 Last fall, Jim purchased this dual sport bike.  He wanted something that was road legal, but also something that he could ride on the trails or track.  He has really been enjoying it this spring since it has been so mild.  The kids really like that he has it because that means another vehicle is available for them to use since he rides it to work.  When we take Leah to horse shows, he loads it up in the trailer in the second horse stall.  When we get to our destination, he rides it around the area until it is her time to show.  We could probably assume that this will be his "favorite horse!"
