Summer is here!!!

Hey Everyone!!!
 We have been very busy so far this summer, and HOT! It has been in the upper 90's and over 100 for the last 2 weeks or so. Lucky for us, it is supposed to drop off to the upper 80's this week, YAY!!! The girls have been very busy working hard on the farm every afternoon. They are learning lots about just how much more goes into running an operation than teaching lessons. Although, I think their favorite new skill has been driving the mule around the farm. Their driving leaves a little to be desired however. Last week Lisa and I both rode in the Verne Batchelder clinic. I work with him twice a month, but this was the first time Lisa has ridden with him. She did a great job and learned alot from him. As always, I got my tail kicked but he was thrilled with Moose and we worked on lots of new fun stuff. We also took all the horses (Including Moose, biggest miracle of all!) on a trail ride through the foundation the other day. It was a much needed reprive from the hot arena for everyone. Saturday Paisley and Gingersnap and Isabelle and Sutter went cross country schooling. Isabelle rode great and is getting tougher all the time....and Paisley and Gingersnap wowed us all. We had no idea that pony could jump that well, or that Paisley was that confident...wow. All in all we have had a great start to the summer. Looking forward to all the other activities comming up. Stay tuned!!! B

Everyone is having fun painting jumps!! (Including Hailey!)
