Notes From Around the Arena

May 1st-7th

Thank You So Much 
for my birthday celebration on Friday! 
Friends, Balloons, Gifts and Cake!
I enjoyed reading the well wishes and regards so many of you wrote on the cards. 
Thank You all for being part of my day to day experience.     

Many of you may know that Linda, Tassha, Sally, Linus, and Paul,  (who rented a ranch horse), went on a cattle camp out.  A place called the V6 someplace south of here.  They enjoyed the trip very much with all the different activities available to them, like trail rides, moving cows, sorting, cutting and even a little barrel racing and pole bending.  I am very proud to hear Linus and Tassha were very well behaved and did their jobs well when it came to new experiences like sorting and cutting cows from the herd.  Nicely done ladies.  Great to see all that work you put in, teaching your horses how to move their bodies in balance, put to work with success.
