We are so blessed with the amazing boarders and have.

David Beriault was helping me pick big rocks out of the sand in the yard. “everybody needs a Dave❤️.”

Tanya also helped a bit with a quick visit.

Feeling so blessed to have met the wonderful people we have boarding with us all thanks to horses. ❤️

My number one helper!!!!

Well maybe companion would be more accurate. Doesn’t matter if we are hauling sand for the arenas or gravel for the yard she’s in the truck with me. She also has been in the tractor every day while we are spreading manure there has been a lot of days of spreading should have let Darren spend more money on a bigger spreader. (What do they say about hindsight lol)

Have a great week everyone and happy voting.

Love the detailed explanation!

Please look at the circle on the lower right. Inside it is an eight sided series of straight lines, an octagon. Most riders who believe they are riding a circle are actually riding a polygon like this series of straight lines in the circle. This is because they do not bend their horses. They either don't know how or they lack the core and leg strength to do it correctly, or both.

Bending your horse and holding a bend happens when a rider applies physical strength at the center where the red arrow in the top image is pointing. Additionally, the rider holds their horse between the forehand with the inside hand and rein, and the hind with the outside leg slightly behind the girth.

The point of the red arrow acts like the point on a compass drawing the circle. The inside leg is the compass point at the red arrow defining the center of the arc of the bend. The right hand in the top picture is like the inside rein, and the rider's left leg acts like the pictured left hand. The rider in the picture holds their horse between the right rein and left leg and the "point of the compass" determines the center of the bend.

The process of riding an entire 20 meter circle in a bend might start as an octagon with many straight lines connected by quick turns. At the beginning an accomplished rider might hold a bend in their horse for the length of two of the straight lines, then three, then four and so on.

When the horse holds the bend longer, it requires more strength and stamina from both the horse and rider. Because of the strength required riders must be patient with the muscle development of their horse. To hold a bend throughout a complete circle is much more difficult than most riders believe.

Sticking with the theme of finding the beauty and peace in nature.

Loving the Northetn Lights. Disclaimer the picture on the left isn’t mine, the one on the right was taken from a different spot in the yard at a different time.

Grateful.

There is so much negative and controversial stuff on fb. Some highly entertaining, but it’s time to get back to positive and beautiful.

I was on my walk yesterday and was fortunate enough to see both sides of the rainbow.

Whenever I see rainbow and it always makes me think of all the amazing people we have lost in our lives that are watching over us and it brings me comfort and peace.

Feeling fortunate and blessed with having those types of relationships.

We have 3 males and 3 females puppies for sale. They will have their first shots and 2nd vet check, they have had their 1st deworming. Mom and dad are both smaller versions of the breed so we are hoping they will stay smaller like their parents. This is their first litter.

Life is always busy.

There is always something going on that will be important that you have to get done.

Taking the time you enjoy the beautiful country we live in and the life style we have worked so hard to achieve needs become more important.

Taking the time….. enjoying the beauty in the world and the amazing horses we have been blessed with.

My door is always open for a visit, my house is always a mess, but a friends company is always welcome no matter what right Lindsay.

Lucy and Fred are happy to announce the birth of their 6 Pembroke Corgi Puppies.

Mom and babies seem to be doing fine. The couch and blankets should make a 100% recovery😂.
