Yep, still raining

Darn the luck, the weather forecasters were right, it is still raining.  Yes we need it, this is me not complaining.

Yes I know, lower hay prices...but why?

Last night I was trying to respond to comments on my last post and blogger was being a total PITA!  Blogger also ate my Mojito walking video...so here it is again.



On the exciting news front, the Hubby in en route for home!  Wooooo Hooooo!  That also means that I was down at the track yesterday getting things ready for the five horses he is hauling home and the others that will be coming in from their various owner's pastures around the area.

Can't wait to see some horse heads looking at me

I know I promised some recipes on instagram yesterday, but I've got some prep to do for class and racehorse arrival.  So the food post will come soon, but not today.
To tide you over, and because I don't have any new riding pictures, here is Zelda totally being princess and the pea.

Saddle pad addiction?

Also her and Panda just being cute together!

Spider on the ceiling 

Warm water heater

Well that's all for now, I will have pictures of new horses tomorrow though!

Weekend Update

As if, I wish I was as funny as the SNL crowd.
First of all, shout out to the hubby who won one in Phoenix!

Zoom zoom!

Saturday included work at the tack store, new jeans at the farm supply store (on super sale), visit with Grandma, and then finally the rain stopped and I went and rode Diva and Mojito!

 I made an elevated pole (we can't really call that a jump) and Diva was as thrilled to go over it as I was.  She was also a thousand times more coordinated than the last time we jumped (months ago), yay for being a more spatially aware 5 year old.

Shameless selfies, totally Diva's idea 

Gotta love the OTTB shirt and Equestrianista necklace (thanks for the bling mom!)

Why hello Diva

 Mojito was stubborn to start and then he was a star too.  We just walked over the pole though.

Here comes another rain storm

He loves to snuggle

He even let me use my phone to video while we steered one handed!

Then Sunday I did lots of homework, the dishes, got some groceries, rode Gunner and Courage in the rain, fed my guys in the rain, cooked dinner and cleaned tack with sprinklerbandit (and it was still raining outside).  Courage was a rockstar, I even used spurs for part of the ride.  While he dealt with them I also had to be just a bit careful so I took them off so we could really get to work.

We also got some video, including a hilarious spook!  I'm pretty sure it was caused by the bunny.  There will be cantering video eventually as well, but I will leave that for sprinklerbandit to share:)



All in all, a fun weekend.  Tomorrow look for some more food and kitten pictures as it is still raining so probably not much riding is going to happen.
