Where has the time gone?

I can't believe that my last post on here was almost a year ago!  I always have good intentions and then forget or time gets away from me or whathaveyou lol

Well, we have had foals born, horses trained, attended shows and endurance rides - there you are caught up on the past year now LOL

Some highlights - three lovely foals born - two sired by *BCF Icon and one sired by the lovely Arabian stallion Aur Mystique - all three are really spectacular - so pleased with them.  Here are links to their pages on my website:
*Izzabella
*Indiana Jones
*Baron Rouge

*Icon was started under saddle - did fabulous!  Had the winter off and will be back ridden soon - we intend to show him in dressage this year!
Most recently, this past weekend I was lucky enough to acquire one of the smallest Curly Miniature mares in the world! Her name is *Patty Cake and while she does not belong to me (still owned by Mary Stewart of http://www.firesideminiaturecurlyhorses.com/) I will have *Patty here at my farm over the next couple of years for promotions for Mary's mini breeding program and also for my full sized program.
These Curly Miniatures are perfect for an aging horse community that still wants to have horses and would like them for driving or for a pet or for grand-kids!
I plan to take *Patty to as many horse events (and non horse events too!) as I can manage and think of. She is so tiny she won't be intimidating and she is so Curly it is pretty obvious she is a a horse with a difference.
Have a look at the slideshow I put together of her - at one point there were 13 horses lining the other side of the fence all google eyeing her LOL. http://photopeach.com/album/5bmo6j
 
Okay - I will try to be good an update this more often!
