What a phenomenal present! Good for you!
Merry Christmas indeed :)

I know you'll have wonderful times together. Looking forward to lots of pics.
Bonnie, OMG indeed!
Kerri, lots of pics coming up as soon as the weather improves, its too dark and wet!

Oh, guess what the best part of my Christmas vacation was (at least the gathering of the clans in NC part)?
I got to ride!
And better yet, I got to ride 2 beautiful Arabians. One of them I got to try riding bareback (I haven't ridden bareback since I was a kid) and the other one I got to try riding without a bridle.
The bareback was pretty shaky - Cami's a really well trained & sensitive horse & if you so much as touch her with a heel, she starts moving out. Hard to not get the heels involved when I was sitting on a horse without a saddle for the first time in like 30 years. I think if I'd had more time & had tried on the lesson horse (a big Quarter Horse, great horse but a bit less of a Ferrari!) it might have gone better. there were no actual disasters - I just felt like the biggest klutz in the world.
The bridle-free riding - that was really cool. Didn't get to do it long enough to quite sort out how I told him which way to go with no reins (there were moments when I actually seemed to be giving him a coherent message, then I'd lose it) but we did work out stopping and starting just about perfectly.
I just wish there'd been more time!
Where did you find so much wrapping paper for that prezzie!! She looks intelligent, you can see that in her expression. Have fun together!
hi. thanks. i'm excited to receive the calendar. =D
God bless you.
Poetikat, I'll make room!!....she'll be staying at a farm up the road.
Bonnie, that sounds amazing! what a great thing to try.
Matron, well if its a prezzie for yourself you don't have to wrap it...
Pia, blessing to you too!
So very excited for you. Sorry for not leaving many comments. I do lurk and plan to come back and leave one, but then I get side tracked.
Just wanted you to know how thrilled I am for both you and Abbey. She's goig to have such a wonderful time with you..and you with her, too.
This time last year, I was horse shopping, too.
And this year, I'm laid up from falling off the horse I bought!
Oh well! lol!
Congrats!
