Mocha looks SO good! Such a happy, healthy boy! And I love your barn! Can I have it when you're done?

Thanks a bunch for the great pics!

Mocha is a handsome one!! I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa and Larry a couple of days ago and decided I wanted her truck. Now I want her barn too. Hmmmm maybe you wouldn't mind selling your place to me Lisa? ha ha ha

HAHA. . .my buddee hasn't even slept one night in the barn yet! I've waited all my life for this barn and I'm not ready to give it up just yet. . . .I do think I'm going to live out there this winter, heck, I even have internet out there so who needs a house? Well, Larry might not like that but still. . .haha

My truck is probably getting traded next year for a bigger one since we're talking about doing a lot of riding and camping next year - I'll keep you in mind for that one! We'll see though, umm 3 horses, truck to purchase, trailer to purchase, camper to purchase. . OUCH on the pocketbook! But all in due time and I'm loving every minute of it!

BTW Katy. . we took horses to the Greyland beach a few weeks ago and we are making that our yearly camping trip if you want to join? There is a nice little barn just a short ride from the beach and cute little cabins just up the road with privacy, bath, cooking, etc.. . .it wasn't that expensive in the end for a really fun time! You can also camp just down from the horse barn and actually have your horse in a pasture right next to you but shelter is limited. I say the more the merrier on those trips so let me know if you wanna go next year;)

Here's Larry and I riding today (Oct 26 2007). His new rescue Molasses (mysterious breeds), and Mocha! They both did FANTASTIC but I have to say. . . Mocha had little patience with the camera operator same as I did;) Really he did fantastic and I'm looking forward to many trail rides in 2008.

Wow. . I haven't updated this one at all. . I've been updating for Molasses in Mys. breeds but Mocha is doing well too! He went into training late Nov 07 and we got him back early Feb 08. He's still got some issues but we've been taking him out on trail rides to put some miles on him and he's really trying. He goes out confident althought I know he's eyeing everything "spooky" that we pass. He's a little hot. . that youngster spunk that needs to be worked out, but not anything I feel I can't deal with. He did buck on me on our last ride. . but later I noticed his back shoe was coming off so it's possible that was the irritation (time will tell). Here are some pics of his awesome trail abilities! (BTW, ignore my indian markings on his back leg. . he came back from the trainers with muck and mud that I cut out what wouldn't wash out - not happy about that at all!)
