Healthly Again I Hope

It's been a nasty few months between getting injured and then gettin some kind of a bug. But, November is about to start and I am hopeful that I can pick up and get going again.

Ace is doing well at Journey's End. I can not recommend this barn enough. If you are in the RI area and need a place to spend a night, weekend of longer you can not put your horse in a better place.

The farrier came Tuesday am and we trimmed his toes. This is the 3rd time since August and they are comming along well.

He has pulled off a bit of weight and that is also a good thing, I think it's the change in the atmosphere of the barn, as this is a pleasure barn and it is mellow.

So, I am back and promise not to be a stranger on by own blog.

Winter Clothes

Sorry it's been a while, but I have not been up to snuff.

Bri, the wonderful barn manager has been working with Ace.

This morning I took a trip to the local tack shops, yep, I hit 2 yippee. Came home with new fleecies for both Ace and Duncan and Rain/Wind coats, coolers and ordered slinky blanket liners.
Hopefully, that will be it for the winter. Except I have to get Ace a winter parka.

He looks great, and I am hopeful that my shoulder will be calmed down and the other issues will be dealt with in a couple of more weeks. I hate not feeling well.

Bri tells me Ace can be a wild man, LOL, but she also tells me he seems to think jumping might be fun and for him. So, time will tell what the boy wants to do and when he lets us know that is the direction we will head in and see what happens.
