Those are gorgeous pictures. I love the mountain scenery.
Well, I have never seen my BIL riding so he will have to speak for himself on his skills. The men in my family tend to be the kind that are ready to teach halfway before you get thru explaining though (rolling eyes). I know he will watch them and won't mistreat them. He had some horses of his own but had to sell them to build a house.
Eddie still saying we will be ready by July. We'll see. He wants to get an automatic water and feed buckets set up this next weekend. I'll throw some hot wire in:')

I think you could be ready by July easily - hot wire goes up very fast, automatic waterers and new buckets - how about hay or it there pasture right now?
