Kind of warm here today. I got my van cleaned out and the front mowed. Working on the back. I got hot and came in to cool off. Summers coming. The ant and mosquitoes are back.

Top picture; that's me on the far left.
and I thought you all would like this one; it's from a book entitled 'Unsuitable For Ladies' 
Oh I forgot the horse is my horse Buck, he looks pretty rough in his winter hair. That's a Wade Corriente saddle on him, I really like it.
Well this afternoon I'm down to ten horses here on the place. Friday and Sam went to the breeder friend and while we were talking, they decided to take BamBam too. So we came home and Bob and my niece took BamBam back to them. They were all talking and Bob has decided to send Tuffy to the trainer our friend uses - if he does well, she will campaign him on the ApHC circuit. If not, he'll come home of course. We'll see on that, depends on what kind of money it is going to cost.
That's still a lot of horses:')
Yes it is - I still need to sell some more here, especially if I want to get retired soon.
Never happen. You will retire with horses:').
I still think you ought to "rent" Bob out. A horse "honey do" guy.
I'm kind of sore too. Had quiet a workout yesterday, then today I did a lot of mowing and yard work. I've had the hot shower. I guess I need to dig out the Motrin.
Sounds good on the mares... and good for tuffy to go to school and potentially out on tour! Keep us posted!
Thanks for the pics! It looks soo..... sunny there! That sure is a neat horse you've got, and a cool looking tree behind him!
That's a very nice looking Bay Horse:)

Sunny here, yay!
The banquet was nice, good food, but I didn't win anything in the Chinese, live or silent auction.. :( Alison won 1st in English Showmanship and 5th in Western Showmanship, Walk-Trot division 11 & under. They gave her a vest and a nice wooden framed picture of herself and Andy.
Yea Alison. What is a Chinese auction? I like the silent auctions and I usually win. My husband sees to it. I will stop at a certain point but he tends to go back and keep bidding if he sees my name. It's sweet but he will pay a lot more for something than I will because knows I want it. Once there was a flag bag that I wanted, filled with a lot of fireworks. A mom was bidding for her kids who really wanted the fire crackers. She quit before I did. He won it and gave me the bag and took the firecrackers to the kids.
You purchase tickets and put them in a bag by the item you want. Then they draw the winning tickets out of the bag. Raffle of sorts. Luck of the draw. There were some really nice items, DVD player, horse clippers and all kinds of cool horse items. The silent auction had free cat or dogs spay or neuters, feed from Tractor Supply, riding lessons, training etc. Alison won a large feed bowl with all kinds of art supplies, pencils, crayons and crafty stuff.
Cute pictures!
Gosh, it sure felt good to be outside! Alison is going to ride PJ now, so I will go watch her.,
