My Latest adventure has been working with my horse Reece that I got for Christmas 3 years ago from my father in-law. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much with her since I was pregnant the last 2 summers :) We just started working with her a few weeks ago and she is doing really well. The first night I was a little nervous because she wasn't real crazy about the halter and lead rope....but to save my mom from being scared we will leave that story out. Now she loves getting treats and she is enjoying all of the attention. Friday we decided to try out the saddle out on her that I bought used off of craigslist. Here is a picture of Reece and I with the saddle on and I'm walking her around the pasture.

In addition to working with my horse I have also started riding lessons at an arena in Ames on a "Safe horse" named Bonnie. Reece will being going to horse school in July so in a month or so I will be able to ride her :) While horses are an expensive hobby I remind Brandon it is cheaper then therapy!! It keeps me from going too "crazy" because its my get away.

  1. I'm looking forward to coming to visit you on your farm someday and riding an older and tamer Reece :) You look like a natural at this country girl stuff!
