Like a boss

So this isn't going to be long, but I had to share a few pics.  This first one is of Aero and I doing a kick a$$ trot!  I can't stop looking at this picture and thinking that I trained this horse to do this (with a few sporadic lessons a year and half ago).

Bam!

Love this guy!

Bridger is still great, but he was a bit sore today.  I think his feet are bothering him, he is barefoot and while I don't think he needs shoes at this point I think he is due for a trim.  Mr. husband is going to take a look and do a little work as our farrier is going out of town tomorrow for 10 days.

Loving him

If a horse can master a loud clanging irrigation pipe as a rail they will never be scared of a showjump!

Oh and my friend from fourmaresnomoney rode Aero the other day and they both did great.  It was her first time in a dressage saddle, I do not jest.

On a somewhat depressing note: the forecast call for 109 degrees on Tuesday, oh the horror!

The things we do

I'm sitting here waiting to go pick up my husband at the airport.  He has been out of town since August, I have gone to see him a handful of times, but school prevents too many trips.  I am thrilled to have him home for a few days, it gets old rattling around the house by myself.  I have to brag a little here while I'm on the subject of my husband as I believe I won the husband lotto!  Yes we have arguments, and with the rather red hair color on both of us tempers flare, but that aside he is great.  I'm always hearing and reading things about how women wish their husbands would do this or wouldn't do that, nearly every time I notice that Mr. Eugene already does or doesn't do those things.  Wow!  Not only that he is horsey, I mean seriously horsey. We are talking teeth floating, hoof trimming, IV shot giving, hay bucking, lameness assessing, racehorse training horsey.  I could go on but I don't want slapped by the next woman I see;)  Ok one more thing, he kisses and hugs horses as much as I do (he would probably prefer I didn't write that here, my bad).

Just messing around

Sunny day in San Francisco

Thanks for the pics Alyssa!
