Brasilia was the last horse clipped and washed! Her coat is like mink, so soft. Great job by Aaron. Beautiful day today in AZ.

We've been under the weather for a lot of days, but Aaron came and did a trace clip on 4 of the 5 here. For one day they were shiny and clean, but it didn't last long. The model horse here is Hawke do Summerwind.

Amie and Don took the time to drive north and we had a lovely reunion with all of our Summerwind Marchadors. But they have favorites and here are 2 of them - Hawke do Summerwind (grey) at Outwest and Re*****on do Summerwind (buckskin 1.5 year old) at Adrienne's. Amie groomed, loved and did groundwork. All listened well and loved her visit just as we did.

Amie was one of the first to meet Kadencia do Summerwind in December 2016. It was a great reunion with this sweet mare on Saturday. Memories last a lifetime. Come meet a Marchador in AZ this winter.

QYRA! We have brought out our training checklist! Teaching leading - proper distance, proper pace, stops when handler stops, backs when handler backs etc. Great work by Michelle!

Thanks to John for riding Caboclo, our BMOC, now 25 years old. Caboclo really loves getting out even though he can't go like he used to go. I need to get them shaved soon, but we are getting more stuff off the list. Farrier day today. The guys here at the ranch cleared our trail for us yesterday which had become overgrown. The care and atmosphere at the ranch is resortlike - I love it!! ❤️

Curious Steele! We were done with lesson time, but I picked up the flags and he was smitten. He followed it everywhere! ❤️

Qyra do Summerwind! First meet, greet and groundwork session for me with her! Great job by Jeff and Michelle to offer her their care, handling and housing with their MM mare Bacara do Summerwind. Qyra - very responsive and a quick learner. She loves people and attention. When Michelle and I were done, she followed Michelle all the way to the gate, a real pocket pony.

Catching up is great fun! Lori doing great with her 2 MMs. In front is "baby" Rhapsody do Summerwind, at 18 months looking beautiful! Behind is North Star do Summerwind, doing so well partnering with Lori in lessons, at the ranch and on the trail. Watch for them at some WE schooling shows in 2025 in AZ!
