First Times

My pooch Sarah had her first haircut yesterday..... she was way too hairy for Florida and was shedding her fur everywhere in the house. I almost didn't recognize her when we picked her up from the doggy hair do salon !

I rode Stylin bareback, no halter - no bridle today for the very first time ever ! I did use a neck rope and climbed on her from the fence. She did really well! Of course I did it in the horse pen, not out in the big wide open, but she walked, trotted, turned, stopped and backed like a champ. I had Bobby taking pictures of me working Ringer in the round pen, but he was already in the house when I hopped on Stylin.

Ringer For Sale

We're planning to put Ringer up for sale - $2500 to approved home. 2005 APHA red roan overo gelding 14.1 hands - Cant Bayou Diamonds. Those who know us - know that he's been handled since birth, brought up and trained correctly. He's well started, has been ponied extensively since six 6 months old, and is being ridden on trails now. You can see photos from birth to present HERE. If interested please email zambito_oaks@yahoo.com.

Getting ready.....

I need to be getting ready for Christmas, but I haven't done so yet. No shopping, no decorating - nuttin.

We did go camping with our friends from First Coast Trail Blazers last weekend and had a blast! It was our first Annual Christmas Party and Campout. The weather was coolish in the morning and warm in the afternoon - just perfect. We all stayed on top of our horses - YAY !

Dixie came home from her lease effective Dec 1st. It's good to have her back home - I don't think I'll lease her out anymore. She's just too good to have around here for friends and family to ride.

Work has been crazy - today I just relaxed for most of the day....rode Ringer and Dixie in the back yard. We've got to get Ringer ready to sell for the first of the new year.
