Egin Lake Ride


A few of the students were out for "Spud Harvest". We were able to travel to "Egin Lakes" for the last ride for them this Season.

Paulina Maddie

Tacia

Trail riding is a high risk adventure. Unfortunately, Tacia did have an accident. She was kicked when traveling to closely to another horse. She was pretty tough to be able to ride back with her injury. We did wrap her leg and fortunately were close enough to home that she was able to get care. The last time I spoke to her Mom, she felt that all would be fine with the exception of bad bruise and possible scar. It all goes with the territory!



Some of the territory is worth it!

Fall Postcard to You.

Recycling the harvest into Fall decorations is one of my favorite things to do.
I think these flowers are great Fall flowers. "Impatience" and "Tuber roses" can tolerate the cooler weather.


Rainbows are a sign of hope.

The apples blush as the Fall weather is upon us.




Here's to you my friends. Health , happiness, and a bountious harvest with hearts of gratitude for loved ones and our many blessings. May God bless you to see the blessings of each day!

As the Summer closes we are able to take more trail rides.

The harvested fields provide wide open spaces for riding.


Maddie, Sam and Tacia are getting ready for our upcoming trail ride to "Harriman Park".



Riding Captain outside the arena is work. He acts like a young stallion rearing to go. Taking clear photos is a challenge because he can barely sit still.




I think it's every girls dream to be on a horse running free!





Tacia and Noble.

Eric and Sonic Moving On!

Eric and Sonic are progressing in leaps and bounds.
I sometimes post these photos so the students can critic their own skills.

Here Sonic got a little "humpy".


This looks better!



Sonic wants to snack on my gloves and camera. He thinks it'll slow me down. "NOT!"





This is my grandson Nathan. He, his brother and Shilowe my daughter came for a short visit.
I always manage to work even when we play. Here Trever and I are opperating a playground backhoe.
Shilowe and the boys at Temple Square in Salt Lake.

Thanks Chad for holding the fort down so I could spend some time with my best treasurses.




Meet Aaron

This is Aaron. He's one of Chad's employees and has experience with training horses.

He came out the other day to ride. He also helped me to shoot the following video. You'll probably be seeing more of him out here. He has some good skills .

My first video on Remy!

I'm learning to apply videos to this blogspots. Our friend Aaron shot this one so I could ride Remy. Chad had to shorten it so it would work.
