Playing

So, I was at Dorothy's today and Rachel and I got Julio to play with the big bouncy ball! For a while, he was terrified of it, you could see it in his eyes. Then we kept rolling it around him, all over his body, and then eventually we bounced it off of him. After a while, he let us bounce in off anywhere on his body! Then, we tried rolling it to him to see if he would roll it back...it took a while, but he eventually did it! He did it three times in a row, and then he didn't do it for a while. When he did it the next time, it was quite forceful! :p He was a very good boy! Next week it's Mr. Sharkey's turn! :D

It's A New Year

Although our horsey year got off to a rocky start.(R.I.P Cents of Humor), I am very excited at the prospects of all the horsey fun we are going to have this year. I have made a few new years resolutions myself that pertain to horses and I really hope they work out. You all know how New Years resolutions normally work out. Haha Well not this year!!! Oliver and Iwill be doing Grande Prix Dressage before you know it! That wasn't actually my New Years Resolution by the way. Well my actual horsey New Years resolution was to build and even better relationship with my my big fuzzy boy (Oliver). So far so good!! And maybe we can get those two tempis down while were at it! Happy New Year everyone!!!

Just like old times

Today was fantastic!

It was so great to get back and do some work (sounds crazy huh?), but honestly no matter how much I might later regret saying this, I actually enjoyed doing frozen poop! Some nice brisk air entered my lungs and I could see me breath (it was chilly out there), my fingers were numb, but soon warmed up, I could feel my face turning pink and my hair slowly becoming crazy, but best of all I was with those I love! The ponies were all o so cute and o so fuzzy!

When Molly finished her lesson with Toby I groomed him with her, he was as cute as could be. I kept giving him kisses, and playing with his nose, but all he wanted was carrots! For a while he nuzzled me and searched for a treat of some sort, but finally gave up. I put on his sheet and Molly took him outside, I of course went to say my farewells and do my last smooches and hugs for the day! Then it was as if he finally remembered me! I started off to the ring to get some poles and he looked and me as if to say, "Wait a second, I remember you!" He waited there watching me until I came back and gave him a last hug of recognition... It touched me. But you know, I might be being just a tad over emotional because I haven't seen my guy for more than about 20 minutes in what seems like years!

Gotta love him. <3

Later when Rachel got back from her ride, I groomed Julio with her! We were laughing and chit-chatting from opposite sides of the pony, so fun...just like old times (I'm pretty nostalgic, aren't I?)! Finished up grooming, quick sweeping, some last giggles, then we went inside! Gee, I can't wait to ride!

The party was fun and the candy was great... As for the movie, I could watch it 1,000 times and still always feel so excited at every race, every touching scene, and every horsey moment! Wouldn't I love to have a horse like that!

Yep, I had a pretty crackalakin day!

...Did I mention that I've missed you all, and that I can't wait to get back??... I'm sure I have only about 100 times! Merry Christmas my dear old poopin' scoopin' friends!

Love to all,

Therese

Fuffy Ponies

All the ponies are so fluffy. Julio looks like a big fluffy teddy bear already! :) Sharkey looks like a small puffy pony with small fluffy ears. The Tbs are all fuzzy, and Oliver almost looks like a woolly mammoth. I love seeing our fluffy and fuzzy ponies! In the winter that is what makes me smile, i may not be warm when I get the farm, but when I see and ride those silly little fuzzy and fluffy ponies it warms me right up, inside and out!!!! :)
