Just a lovely day


There sure is a feel of spring in the air here. The geese are hanging around, and when I was out riding Beamer today, we tried to get close to them on a little melt pond in the pasture, but they flew away.
I asked Beamer to walk through the little pond, and with only a little hesitation, he carefully stepped in. If you look at the beginning of the video below, you will see all the goose tracks in the mud. It was a lovely day for riding and I'm happy that after the dental work on B-Boy his left lead is much smoother to ride.

I turned Coyote Belle out into the field that I usually put Beamer in, hoping she'd eat some of the new grass that's coming up. She wandered around a little checking it out, then got to calling the other girls and went for a little run. I'm glad to see that she is picking up in energy, she seems to be feeling good! She is already putting weight back on too, I'm so glad I got her teeth done.

Sparkle is back on the market now that I have her mama home. I'll probably put her on Northern Horse.com in the next day or so. She really is getting to be a pretty girl, when she sheds out I'll get some nice photos of her.
We spent Sunday building a dog run, it's not finished yet. Got to get some more chain link to complete it. Tess's pups are due April 28. Won't that be fun!

Lucky you. I didn't get to see my own horses and actually spend time other than feeing them until after dark. Darn school.

I saw my first geese today so spring mustn't be that far off. I'm looking forward to your pups too.

I've heard geese flying north over us here in SW Idaho for about 2 weeks now!

You're really lucky to be with such cool horses!
I was wondering, do you think I can use your pictures? Just pictures, not videos.
It's just that, I don't live anywhere near horses, so I probably won't have any pics.
If you reply(hopefully you will)then please email to jessiej2007@gmail.com!

THANKS, ALOT!
