Memorial Day Weekend



We had a very nice relaxing Memorial Day weekend. The kids played a lot outside, fourtunately the weather was good.

These are a few of our new flowers this year. We didn't even realize this was going to flower. We put it in last year and all it was all summer was the green leaves....now all of a sudden this year they sprouted these beautiful purple flowers.




We planted the garden too.......Of course that was my "big" chore for the weekend and it took all of about 15 minutes to put in....lol. It's looking good so far and at least the rabbits are leaving it alone this year (so far).


We also spent some time working with Danny over the weekend.....he is doing very well....he's has now met all of his new horsey friends and is enjoying being out in the huge pasture with all of them. He is much more calm now that he is out with them too. Our trainer rode him to see what he does or doesn't do and it went pretty well. The only issue was that when she asked him to go into a canter he would do a small buck.....I did however talk with the lady that I bought him from and she said he was never cued to move forward with legs only clucking and asking with words.....we are going to try again tomorrow evening. I think he was just a bit upset with her asking him to move forward with her legs......we will have to teach him though because you can't cue a horse in the show ring with clucking and talking ... he should catch on quickly....he's a very smart boy. We love him sooooo much.


Well that's about all for now. Have a great day!
