Anna's First Horse Show ~ Clean Sweep!

Arts & Crafts

We discovered Mod Podge this weekend. This is a great project for the up coming winter days. We decorated a clip board in a horse theme but you can do just about anything. Water bottles are real popular. A few magazines, photos, and 2-4 coats of Mod Podge and there you have it.

Cavalia Smiles!!!

Ashley & Paige are all smiles standing in the stables of Cavalia! Everyone is in agreement that the show is incredible. Do Not Miss It!!! The show may not return for 5-6 years.

Fall Series at Colorado Horse Park

As I post this photo I realize the trees in the background are starting to change. One more day of the Fall series and then next weekend is the CHJA Medals. Caylin looks forward to this show every year and considers it to be the coolest horse show ever! Ashley & Caylin will be there on Friday & Saturday please come and watch. In prep for the CHJA Pony Medal Caylin did another medal class today (qualifying class). She received a second place ribbon.

Horse show ribbon Pillow

If any of you are interested in creating a unique gift I have the women for you. I work with Melanie and she made this for our family over the weekend. The most painful part was taking apart the ribbons (they are so pretty) but we now have this beautiful pillow to enjoy. She also does quilts. To contact her just email: whirlygigcrafts@yahoo.com

Price for a pillow 16"x16" is $55.00 18x18 is $65.00

North Woods Farm ~ beautiful surroundings & wonderful trainer!

Maddie aboard Berries...I couldn't help myself but take out my camera when I saw the sunlight beaming through the indoor arena. With the several opened doors, newly built set of jumps and flower boxes, the arena was so inviting.

Meet Rachel & Fiona

What is the excitement?

Read on to find out....

Meet Berries....Maddie's new pony.

Maddie was surprised with an early birthday gift from her parents. It took her over a week to realize Berries was truly her very own pony. As this photo looks dreamy she herself is still in a dreamy state over the generous gift from Mom and Dad.

Surprise!!! Happy Early Birthday Maddie.
