Upcoming road trips

This past week has been pretty normal. Stiletto is doing great and progressing in her training very well. This weekend (2/22/09) is an Open Show at West 20 in East Troy which I may haul her to for the experience. It will depend on the weather and my schedule.

On Thursday, March 12, 2009, Lalo and I are taking the mustangs to the Racine Pony Club for a short demo after their monthly meeting. If you would like to schedule a demo at your barn we would be happy to haul them over for an evening or a few hours on the weekend. Contact me through here to get more details.

An Illinois Weekend

This weekend we spent lots of time in IL. Saturday Jill and I took Stiletto and her young mare, M, to the roping event that Lalo regularly goes to. We stayed about half of the day to give the horses experience in the busy environment. They were both great. Sunday we took the same horses and met Lalo and his mare at the Sterling Lake Trail area in IL. These pictures are from the roping competition on Saturday and a Trail Ride on Sunday.

Good Progress

Stiletto is doing great. I took her to friends (Jim and Lori) place a few miles away. Lalo was pulling his trailer not far from Signature Arabians, so I talked him into picking us up and giving us a ride a few miles down the road. It was a educational day and ended up well. Thanks to Jim and Lori for putting up with us dropping in on them and providing all of their assistance ;)

Sunday I took advange of the warmer weather and took Stiletto on her first trail ride. I rode around the farm and into the fields behind the farm. The snow was up to her belly in some places. She was great as expected. I am hoping this coming weekend we will have more warm weather and I can take her on more trail rides in different places.

Monday was more indoor work, Tuesday she gets the day off while I spend some time on the slopes :) I will get some photos this weekend to post.
