My birthday today…

I had a really nice birthday today! I did work all day but the weather was perfect and I worked outside with the horses – not at my computer so I loved it! I wanted to ride for a few minutes but the day was over before I knew it. Our kids came home late this evening for dinner and cake. I went on Facebook tonight and couldn’t believe all of the “Happy Birthday” posts! And the emails and e-cards! Thank all of you – they mean a lot to me – a whole lot! I don’t get on the computer much to “converse” with anyone anymore but I know everyone knows I’m very busy with the horses and that I’m always only a phone call away. Volunteers are going to take me out to lunch or dinner one day next week. And – it was on the front page of our local newspaper today (Williston Pioneer Sun News) that I have been nominated “Pioneer of the Year!” The winner will be chosen at the end of the year but this nomination was a total surprise – what an honor!

Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday and today…

Dr. Ryan says Narissa is close to 30 years young. She enjoys being able to come and go in and out of her stall. She stands in the breeze of the aisle way a lot.

Ghost and a little braid in his forelock – he got a much needed bath this week. Ghost is a sweetheart and is looking for a forever home. He is a 15 yr young Paso Fino gelding. Katie, our daughter, had a blast riding him.

Nikole is doing well – she’s waiting for her turn to get body clipped. She really is a sweet mare. She is looking for a forever home. She has Cushings but it is managed with a compounded version of Pergolide. We’ve not had any issues with her – just a wooly coat.

Gentleman is next in line for body clipping. If anyone in this area can do this please call me!

Narissa napping..

I am totally beat and am going to get to bed a bit early. I will be up early to go to the Paso farm for the day. We need to find homes for the remaining mares.

Please keep Gentleman and Narissa in your prayers. Have a blessed weekend everyone and thank you for your continued friendship and support!
