Keeping Up With Brother and Aladar In Memory of Ella

Keeping Up With Brother and Aladar In Memory of Ella A paint and a donkey walk in a bar...
The bar keep ask, 'why the long faces?'
The donkey snorts and turns away. The paint begins to panic and look for an exit.

A very tired woman walks in with a sigh and leads them to their barn...whiskey in hand Little Brother-stallion turned babysitter gelding and his donkey sister-Ella have a little fan base so I figured I'd revamp the page and showcase the adventures of these two crazy equines. Dad jokes in tow. Enjoy!

Ok last bombardment of pictures for the night.

Selfie with my boy and our custom hat.

Looking for the perfect silhouette and I found it! Look at last pics for confirmation lol.

Thank you Ridge Creek Tack for the hat!

He was concerned as to why I was on this thing lol

Apparently I can only share one video at a time. But man if the arena wasn't deep I could've shown him with the scooter 🀣

Well it wasn't what we were hoping for as my ankle got hurt a week before Nationals and I'm in a boot and the halter broke right before our class but we did place 5th under one judge despite a not so good trot off.

We even tried the riding classes. Not successfully but he went in by himself and got nervous of the stuff out there but it's good exposure and he's literally had maybe 10 rides on him. But when in Rome...

Had a good ride(Eric) in the warm up pen today even though he was a little difficult at the beginning.

Success is not measured in ribbons but in growth and I'm proud of my boy.

Exactly 1 week till we leave for Nationals. Excuse me as the anxiety kicks in. 🫠

Aladar grew up and aged up and we are up against some niiice geldings and donkeys in general.

Last year was a life highlight so even if we placed deadlast/not at all I'm still so thrilled with him and excited to see and cheer everyone on.

My only goal when we go into the ring is a nice trot off and no dq lol.

I also may have signed up for two riding classes(TL barrels and poles because ring exposure and just us in the ring so if he does shenanigans he's not messing anyone else up) and I'm regretting it now 🀣 Might just count it as a donation to the association.

Can't wait to see all my long ear folks!!!

3 years and a day... not a day goes by that I don't think of her or Bonnie Boo(my mother's day pup with health issues that I had to put down not long before Ella). Miss my girls.

05/31/2024

Don't mind me in my feels! It's that time of year again where I feel happiness, same and guilt.

I miss this big beautiful girl so much. Aladar is his ownself for sure but he has moments where I'm like, oh that's his momma shining through.

"Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart" -Roy T Bennett

Don't mind his lip wrinkles, the bridle slid a little to the other side due to no brow band or ear piece. Nothing can hold those ears back πŸ˜‚

We had a fantastic 10 minute ride, weaved through some poles, went over poles and really worked on direction and staying soft. He is young still so no hard riding for awhile. Ground driving mostly and then a ride here and there. He's gonna be such a looker under saddle in the ring. 😍

Went on our first trail ride in forever! (We went to Mt Gilead like a year and a half ago?? And it was a moment before that one). Creek crossings that were way wider and a little deeper than I was expecting πŸ˜… we crossed them 6 different times.

One spot was nick named pucker up buttercup and got about horse mid shoulder depth kind of suddenly...Brother is not a fan of water crossings so that was interesting. Lol

So thankful for the Greentree Riding Stables folks we went with that gave us pep talks and encouragement. We appreciate it so much! πŸ™ πŸ’•

Brother was jiggy jogging the whole flipping time, like sir you're 19 not 4 but it's a good thing to be annoyed by in my opinion πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

I did take my go pro but there's a lot of footage so I'll eventually get to editing it to shorter videos and such. Lol

So excited and nervous for show season. My little diamond has aged up but it'll be good 😎

Had a good ride on this speed demon yesterday. At first I thought oh boy he's gonna be difficult but that was quickly adjusted and we were pacing out and racking nicely after his first little bout of speed lol.

Night before had a good ride on my ol trotting boy. Nice being able to switch it up every now and then. They both ride so differently.

Had a good ride with this turd tonight. Even if he's a butt sometimes. Rode him solo, then double with James and then James solo and he even got him trotting on his own. He was so excited. Love you big handsome!

My two new to me saddles! The western one is a used treeless Bob Marshall! I got it for a lighter trail saddle for Brother and my saddle for Aladar till he's done growing and I can get him a custom one. The other is a Wintec with adjustable gullet system. Fitting him with his big shoulders is a fun time πŸ₯΄

Aladar had his second real ride and first with a bit(he's been in the bit before ground driving). Can't say it was uneventful though 🀣 He was a pain in the butt when trying to put the cropper on, he spooked at the barn cat(way less eventful than a horse spooking), then he tried to chase the cat, then he gave me a little bunny hop. Lots of forward though and when he was going he was stepping up niiiiice! He also is already starting on the running me into walls...like boy you will not 😀

I am sad to post as I was really hoping this would be my next trail saddle but I don't like how it fits me. Fits my broad shouldered paint really well but the more I sit in it the more I personally don't like how it feels if I were to ride hrs in it. πŸ₯Ί

Would make someone else a really nice trail saddle and I have too many to justify holding on to it hoping one day I'll change my mind.

Genuine Buenavista Plantation saddle. Measurements are in the pics. Picture of it on my boy as well.

7️⃣5️⃣ or will trade(and put cash down) on an aussie type or western trail saddle.(must fit broad shouldered horse!!)

Cincy/Dayton area.

The equine boys are all tucked in at their barn. Now to get our babes here at home tucked in.
