First off I'll start with some good news!
In August I got a new mare. Her name is Performance In Dixie. She is sired by A Comand Performance and out of a Pride Of Midnight daughter. She's a half sister to '96 WGC He's Puttin' On The Ritz as well as I'm In Command. She was started as a two year old but then sold. Once she was sold she became a broodmare. She's had nine foals since 1996 mainly sired by The Skywatch. 
Well since I've got her I've decided to restart her. She's such a sweetheart and very easy to work with. She has her little quirks. She doesn't like to be caught and she's quite sensitive about things flapping around her head. Other than that though she's been really good. She's starting to get in shape a tiny bit and has been getting a much better gait since I started riding her. She's starting to stretch out those muscles that she hasn't used in a while. She's still got a baby belly waddle though! Haha that will take a while to go away if it ever does!
I'm not 100% sure what my plan for her is yet. It all depends on how she does this winter with her training. I would like to get at least one baby from her. I'm planning on breeding her to Fini (The Final Legacy) in the spring. And maybe for the summer she can be a lesson pony! I'm hoping to do the required courses so I can become an Equine Canada Level 1 Certified Coach in both English and Western and I'm also looking into Saddle Seat. So hopefully I'll be doing more lessons next year and if everything goes good this winter she might work out really nice!

On Monday morning when I went out to feed I found BOGO dead. He was a palomino yearling gelding that I had got from Deb Jack. He's the one who's mother came up from Tennessee as a two year old and had a foal. We never knew who his sire was. I was quite heartbroken when I found him. I was very excited about starting him and seeing what he'd be like under saddle. He was so cute and he would have been the perfect size for some little kid. He'll be greatly missed.
We took him to the vet for an autopsy so we knew what had happened. He had a twisted gut :(
Well I'm off to do some updating on the website!!

hey welcome to blogging, it's a great way to stay in touch with all the stuff you do in a day that you don't really want on your web site.
That's so sad about Bogo, he was a sweet little guy for sure. I know how you feel, we lost a colt this week too and it sucks.
