Merry Christmas To All And Merry Christmas To ME!!!

Well finally after waiting for what felt like forever I finally have my little girl home! An early Christmas present for myself! I've been wanting a registered TWH pony for quite a while now and I'm always searching for them on the Internet. Well I finally found one! Her name is Shaker's Ebony Cupcake. Cupcake for short. She is a black 2005 mare with a star. She's only 13.1 hands tall!!!! Omg she is so cute and I can't believe how small she is. I knew she was going to be little but now that she's here I just can't get over her. And her legs, she is so fine and petite! I am so happy with her. She's exactly what I wanted. The plan for her is to put a few weeks of time on her and get her going good and then she will hopefully work in my lesson program for some of the younger kids. She has been started but from what I've been told she is still quite green. I'll see how it goes but I think she is going to work out awesome! She seems very quiet. She might even be in the show ring next year! I also would like to breed her eventually and start breeding a few walking ponies.

So I know I haven't wrote anything for a while. I've been keeping pretty busy the last couple of months. Both lessons and training have picked up. Training spots are filling up fast which is really nice. I hate having to worry if I'm going to have horses or not.

I've started some drill team practices every other Saturday. So far we've only had a couple practices. December practices have been cancelled because of the weather. It's been a lot of fun and it's great to see everyone throughout the winter. If anyone is interested in coming just let me know. Everyone is welcome. It's mostly walking horses but if you have another horse you'd like to bring you're more than welcome to!

The weather has been kind of horrible for the last few weeks. We have a tonne of snow now. The minus fifty degree temperatures have not been nice at all! Even the arena didn't help when it was that cold! I am very thankful that I have the arena though it makes it so much nicer. I can bring in 3 or 4 horses at a time and work them instead of trudging through the snow a thousand times a day.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a good New Year's. My Christmas is going to be very busy. I have Christmas dinner at my aunt's tomorrow for mom's side of the family. And then Christmas Eve I will probably be with David's dad's family. Christmas Day will be breakfast at home and then dinner at Grandma's. And then on the 27th I'll be at David's mom's. And in between all this turkey I will still be riding horses as always! Still no plans for New Year's but I'm sure I'll be doing something!

Talk to you in 2010!
