A few updates

The paint mare is confirmed in foal to Beamer, and the grey mare  must have caught too because she hasn't come into heat since she was bred. So 2 little B Babies next year, even though they won't be born here!

Beamer is staying busy teaching the nieces how to ride- yesterday the two oldest trotted for the first time, they did really well. I think they will want to trot every time now!  Once again, the picture is disguised but the happy face fits! Yes she was wearing a helmet, and I had her on a lead line but she was doing all the steering and speed control.

Shayla has decided to sell Rio, so if anyone out there is looking for a big gelding with lovely movement, you might want to get ahold of her- just leave a comment on this post and she will see it. The little kids have been leading Rio to and from pasture, he's really good with them. Even puts his head down- thanks, Shayla for teaching him that!
Kai still isn't started yet, I'm hoping for a round pen soon, but I think I might have to go ahead and start him without one. Can't wait forever, looks like my honey-do list is at the bottom of the heap this year. Sigh.
