Awesome picture of Bijou and Cappy

I turned *Bijou and CC out in my big field the other day and was all ready with my camera - I was really happy with this great picture of *Bijou - look at that extension!

I also got a nice one of Cappy. And you wonder who Cappy is......well, he is my purebred Arabian stallion - he is a son of Bask AND Aladdinn - an incredible horse! Cappy will be bred to *Bijou this year and he is also available to outside mares. Here is Cap - he is a very sweet boy.

New Year - New Horses

A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to lease a lovely Arabian mare Ana-Alisia, aka Lisia. In 2006 Lisia had a lovely foal with *Sandman so I'm looking forward to a repeat. You can see pictures of *Sandman's Babe here. Anyhow, the great thing is that Lisia is also a neat riding horse - big and powerful and a real been there done that kinda girl - here she is with my friend Maryan the other day.

The other exciting news is that I have two new Curly mares - *DSF Cassandra who is a fantastic Curly pony - about 14 hands, black going grey AND *Poplar's Bijou *Bijou is a half sister to our *Sandman - she is a lovely, friendly, extreme, feminine version of him - how lucky am I to have these two great mares!

A new year!

Well, I haven't been adding much here recently, but I plan to do a TON of riding and training this year so I thought I would try to write a bit about how it all goes.

Even though we have more snow here than I can remember in the past half a dozen years I've been riding every day this week. My favorite riding horse Amazing Gracie aka Gracie is open this year and I have plans to do all types of riding with her - trails, showing and maybe even endurance - I'm really looking forward to it! Gracie is a fullbred Curly with a smooth coat - I find it hard to explain this to people sometimes LOL - but there you go and she is one of the most hypoallergenic horses we have too.

So on this day, January 7th, 2007, three of us went riding; me on Gracie, my daughter Anastasia on her Curly gelding *Cuervo and my daughter's friend Sam on her Curly gelding *Kobee - *Kobee just happens to be Gracie's son! He has become a great trail horse and this young ladies best friend.
