I have been riding all week...Crush is beyond amazing...just when I thought I was never going to get him to step into his lope, he broke a lightbulb over his head and OMG! he is absolutely delighting me with his lope departures...I think when I start laughing with glee he gets the idea he has done something so right, so his interpretation of 'good boy' is spot on! I was thrilled to pieces today as he is just loving showing me how good he can do it...I love this Doofus!
It has been a crazy month; I worked a driving show at the saddle club in Daytona and it was incredible fun...So next month I am going to a driving clinic to get either Crush or Cleo ready to go into harness so I can show them...Got this incredible Jerald show cart and it cannot be much longer before I get out into the arena with it.

Colorado was incredible...I could live there if I didnt have to drive a rig up and down those twisty slippery mountain roads...Grand Lake was gorgeous but expensive! Figure ya gotta get that feed up those mountains and it is gonna be costly! Anyhow I loved being there, was like a mini vacation, and I shot close to 300 photos. People love to take their horses into the mountains and go trail riding. I would be like that too if I lived there.
Getting ready for our first Paint show in MONTHS...hopefully I can do western riding...need to go memorize those patterns some more...just when I am getting a clue, they add two more!! FRACK!
