It's still raining! Here is our arena completely covered with water.
The students including "Morgyn" saddled up anyway. Fortunately, there is a God and he allowed the storms to settle during nearly all of our lessons.
Emily is improving her balance by riding bareback hands in the air. She also trotted this way and did quite well. You go girl!
This chicken found out that she isn't a duck, but I bet she wished she was!
It's been raining everyday for the past few weeks. Fortunately, the weather brakes for my lessons. Off to the right of this photo notice the pool of water in the corrals.
Maddie manages to keep a good outlook on things and faithfully shows up for her lessons.
Brian weathers the storms and we are making final adjustments before his ride.
Emily has learned to bridle and saddle her own horse. I'm always grateful for students who try and progress with the "not so fun " part of lessons.
Here's Morgyn after her lesson in barrel racing. She is practicing her skills in teaching horseback riding to her friend. They grow up so fast. 
The puppies are growing. We set them outside and the students love to play with them so they get lots of attention and love it!
One of them has longer hair than the rest. That is possible due to the fact that one grandparent was a long-haired Chihuahua.
They are healthy and playful. Being out on the grass sets the foundation for easier house-training.
This little guy will probably only weigh two to three pounds at full growth. He's 4and a half weeks here.
These are the cutest and friendly, and people oriented puppies and will be ready to sale around June 15th, 2009. I have copies of the studs papers.
The puppy looking at you has the most adorable personality. Trever my grandson held him everyday since he was born for three weeks. This puppy is mostly white with a diamond shape marking on his head. The Grandfather is named "Diamond Jim". He is also the only one with blue eyes. Feel free to contact me for any information on these puppies.
This is my baby "Kye Leah" teaching her college roomate "Crystal" how to tie her horse.
It's not all about the work. Natacia, Crystal , and Kye brought me along to West Yellowstone to see the sights. It was breathtaking! Of course, I'm sure these poor college students just wanted to save gas and I was there excuse. We did have fun.
Crystal learning to groom.
Kye and Crstal all smiles and everything nice.
Emily is back!
I am always amazed at how quickly some students grow after a season. I'm always grateful when their legs are long enough to mount without my help!
The progress each student makes in becoming a more independent horseman is rewarding to me.
Julissa is trying her hand at balancing the egg in the spoon. Nice focus!
Eric is ready to take over the training of Sonic from now on. Notice how calmly this 2 year old thoroughbred stands while being mounted. By the way "Sonic" stands at about 17 hands and growing.
Brian is required like all my students to catch, groom, and tack up their own horses. He does an excellent job!
Brian demonstrates how to tie his horse. Rule is tie above the withers and aproximately 10 to 12 inches long. This tie becomes untied quickly and easily in case of an emergency.
Sam and Julisa are practicing control and balance at a trot. I like to post these photos in hopes that it may help each rider to view and analyse herself.
Morgyn is progressing well and quickly. She has moved on to a bigger horse.
Here's a lady to admire. Sharon amazed me. It's been 34 years since she's been on horseback due to back and knee injuries . Of course doctors advise patients that riding days are over. I've heard that once or twice. Just ask me to quit breathing! Sharon did exceptionally well and looked right at home on 19 years young Captain. Sharon will always be young at heart and absolutely Beautiful!
Here's our newest and youngest addition to the program. Morgyn just makes me smile all over.
The curiosty, honesty, easy going way of life and to be young at heart with the whole world to explore. That's who I want to be!
Welcome the young and young at heart. New puppies, Chihuahuas!
