I'm Back!!

YAY for finally getting the internet at my place!! :) Alltel had a deal I couldn't pass up, so I got myself a nice little internet card and away I go!! I'll actually have time to keep up with this thing now, instead of having to wait until I can get online somewhere to post.

Here's the jist. Remme's AHHA registration and evaluation is pending again now that I got his recent photos sent in. They prefer horses that are over the age of three for the top 25, so it'll be pushing it for him to make it up against all the mature horses that entered. I never did get anything else submitted. It's gotten so cold and muddy that everyone is hairy and dirty, plus Adella and Rain are the only other ones that come close to the three mark anyways. Oh well, I am pulling for Remme to make it and will congratulate those who do make it. He's really growing into a handsome boy!! Very spanishy in my eyes. His AIHR and HOA paperwork is ready to go out also, just have to get the money orders and mail everything.

Rain and Riot are doing great. One of these nights I will sit down and figure out how to add pictures to this thing so that I can post one of the little guy. He's such a little sweetie. Getting so big and looking more like momma every day. He had another haltering session the other day when I dewormed him. He wasn't to keen on having anything around his head again, but once he got done trying to drag me around his paddock he seemed okay with it. Just stood there and looked at me while I petted him and touched him all over. He is so funny, not a ticklish bone in his body. He just stands there and lets you touch him wherever you want. I can't wait until he grows older. He's gonna make a great companion for someone! Weaning is imminent. Will report back on how that goes.

Ransom just returned from the trainer's and is cuter then when he left. Crystal, my friend from college who owns a boarding and training place not far from me, did a wonderful job with him. He is ready to be backed and ridden. I can't wait! Okauchee is at her place right now. She sent me pics of him and said he is doing well. Looks like she got on him a few days ago and walked him around. He will be there for thirty days, and I'll get to ride him when he comes home! Finally!! I am pumped about the whole thing. Then hopefully someone will buy the two so I can cut my numbers down and really concentrate on the training and campaigning of my breeding stock.

Ella and Adella (really? did I need to choose their names so close?) are just hanging out, as usual. I put Ella up for sale just to see if I got any bites on her. I can't breed her to Remme, and I don't want to sell her, but I figured that maybe someone else would love her as much as I do. We will see, if I sell some geldings or Riot I may just keep her and breed her to some other stallion eventually. Speaking of breeding, Adella is going to the University this spring to get bred to Wayward Wind via frozen semen. I am excited about the prospect of having one of his babies to campaign!!

Kim is coming to do feet (finally!) Tuesday and Wednesday. I really need to find a farrier in my area!
