Today was awesome! It was warmer out, there was no wind and we had a wonderful play day!
First, Eddie and I went out to the pasture and played at liberty. The pasture is about 2 1/2 acres, so we had a lot of room to run and play. We did some weave cones, and jumps. But what we did that was really fun, was... I would go by a barrel, called Eddie (who would be at the last barrel we were at) then he would run to me and stop at that barrel. Then I would run to the next thing and so on! It was awesome! :-) We also cantered around together sprinted around in the pasture and he was so happy to play! We both love playing at liberty in the pasture! Then, to finish it off, we ended with a long walk in the track. He's was so happy and spunky, we just had a lot of fun!
Second, Scout and I went for a walk outside of the track/pasture and through the woods on the south line. We trotted around, and once we had went all the way around the property, we went up through the orchard, to the backyard, around the front of the garage and to the big snow drifts. We would run through those (which were about 2 feet+ high) and then we would run out of them while Eddie watched and was jealous again. ;-) hehe, poor Eddie! But Scout and I had a blast and he doesn't get out often enough. Then we went into the round pen and I rode in there, then we left that and went into the barnyard. It was really fun and I think Scout really enjoyed himself!

Diesel's Day
My little shadow!
Introducing, DIESEL! Eddie was very sleepy, Scout was very sleepy, so Diesel and I went for a long walk all the way around the track! On the outside to be exact!
We foraged for grass (Diesel did, not I) and we meandered through the woods on the south line.
Our little Diesel is so super special to us! Not one of his previous owners took the time to get to know him, and he has such a loving heart. He's silly, but sweet. Feisty yet gentle. And he's my mom's little muffin.
So, he loves his walks and that what we did today! Eddie was very jealous, but it got him moving and it woke him up. lol!
Once Diesel and I were done with our walk, I took Eddie into the round pen and let him burn off some steam. He was very, very hyper (because they had been cooped up all morning because of the snow.) He cantered around, trotted to and fro and we played with some spins, since that was the only thing that we could successfully do. lol!!!
He did the spins really well, and we did some rollbacks too. Eddie was very happy for the play time, since he had gotten very jealous of Diesel. :-)

Riding in the Snow!
Today was beautiful!! It was cloudy, but there was no wind and it was in the 30's. Yippee!! So much better than the 10-20 degree days we've been having.
So, first mom and I went out to On Eagle's Wings Equine Center and I trimmed Jigsaw. It had been 4 weeks since I last trimmed him and his feet were long, but in good shape. That was very exciting!! I'm glad that his feet are doing well now that I've taken them on.
Later today, Allison and I played with the horses out in the track. We went for a long walk around in the track, then we went in the outdoor and let Scout and Eddie run around together. It was really funny! Eddie was having a blast running around with Scout and Scout was rather annoyed that he had to run around. lol! But after that, Al and I hopped on for a good half an hour and just chilled with our ponies. We walked around, the horses ate snow and ice off of the barrels. Eddie was really good and he was quite a gentleman! I really worked on using my focus in turning him and he responded so well! Yay! :-) He's such a good boy!
Tomorrow is supposed to be just as warm and sunny as today, so I think it will be a wonderful day!

A Fun Day!
Snow jumps, new videos, freezing cold and hooves with ice balls! What could be more fun?!
Here is a new movie I made today. Most of the videos are from today, but a few are from yesterday and the day before. It's been very cold, but that sure hasn't stopped our playing!! :-)

Walkies!
It was FREEZING outside!! The wind was blowing, the high was 19, and it felt like 5 or something. :-/
So, needless to say, I didn't play with the horses, but I did take Eddie for a walk and spend a lot of time with them. Eddie and I went between the round pen and the tree grove and back towards the garden where there was a little less wind. Although not by much! We found lots of grassy spots, trotted around and just hung out together.
hehe, it's funny... I've realized that on the days that I do a lot with the horses, I don't get around to blogging. Mostly because I'm tired and I spent time outside, so there's more to do inside. But on the days that I can't do much with the horses, then I blog a lot because I can't go outside! :-/ Humph.... Kind of backwards, if ya ask me!
Anyway, that was a bit random...
Hopefully after this cold spell (today & tomorrow) then I'll be able to play with the horses more and, oh yes! I have to trim them all up again before Mike comes to take a look at their hooves. They are all looking fantastic though!

An Exciting Day!
Yesterday, was an amazing day!I rode Eddie in the outdoor for a long time, we trotted around and had a wonderful time! He had a little trouble with some forequarter and hindquarter yields, so we played with that for awhile. He caught on really quickly and did them really lightly. So we trotted around some more and then dad took some pictures of us!
Eddie was so sleepy, and it was so nice and warm in the sun. The perfect day to ride!! :-)
Especially since it snowed that morning, and it snowed a lot! The flakes were ginormous!
We would be walking somewhere, and he would just LEAN into the rein and go the direction he wanted to go.
He doesn't give his opinion very often, so I just went with it and let him be in charge. It was really cute! :-)
Oh yes! And then dad led Scout and I skied behind him!!
I took some video (or more like I set it on a barrel) so I will upload a video soon!
Hope that you all are staying warm!

Eddie's Family Tree
This could be an interesting post! I'm going to go as far back as I can with Eddie's registry. Thanks "A Year With Horses" (Kate) For the great idea!!!
Well, let's see. Eddie's registered name is R Big Time Edition. Now, let's go back to sire's side:
First, there's his dad, R Big Time Fancy, an APHA sorrel/overo
His parents are Mr. Fancy Bonanza (see below) and Sweet Celebration.
Then, there's Mr. Fancy Bonanza, Eddie's grandfather, who is a chestnut/overo.
Fancy Bonanza was sired by Mr. Supreme Bonanza and A Real Lover.
Now, Eddie's mom was Sonsational Beauty: whose parents were Sonsational Too and Jets Choice. :-( Unfortunately I couldn't dig up any info on them. But they are all paints. So Eddie is all paint, but sure doesn't look like it!
Very cool! And I think my family tree is interesting, our horses' is just as interesting too!!! :-) Maybe I can find something for Scout and Diesel... just maybe!

Playing with everybody!
January 15th.
It was very chilly today! Only in the 20's, no sun and plenty of wind to go around! :-p
But, I did play with all the horses!
I took Scout out over by the tree grove at first. I let him graze there for awhile, then we went into the round pen and had some fun. We trotted around, hopped over a few cavaletties and then I got on to ride a little bit. I just let him graze, we walked around, stood on the pedestal and.... grazed some more! hehe, he was such a good boy though! :-)
Then, Eddie and I went out to the track (the ponies were in the pasture) and we went for a lap together. Just going for a walk. We trotted some of the way, Mohan, one of our cats, followed us around the whole track. hehe, it was funny, I picked him up and he almost jumped on Eddie! He made me crack up! I don't think Eddie would have cared, but just to be sure, I didn't let him go up there. Plus, Eddie was very spunky, so I didn't want him to take off of something! We finished our walk, I let him graze for a little bit and then...
I took Diesel for a walk! :-) We went through the tree grove, up toward the house and to the backyard. The grass was VERY green over there, so he was as happy as a clam. And who knows why clams are happy.... ;-) Anyway, I let him graze for a little bit, then we headed back inside. it was very chilly out!!!

Today, we had a ton of fun in the snow!!
First, I played with Eddie out in the pasture while Al played with Scout too. We jumped over logs, I hopped on for a little bit, we did some turn'n'burn games, where we would back up next to each other, then I would run behind him, letting the rope slid through my hand. So, he would spin on his haunches, roll back, and then face me. It was really fun, and he was really enjoying himself!! They've been so playful!!!
Then, we hooked up Scout and Allison led him while I skied behind him! :-) It was so much fun!! We trotted, walked around, I got better with my turning, and Scout did so well. He is such a good boy!!!
Al and I switched then, and I led him while she skied. I think he was done by then, because he did a little buck (nothing huge) lol! But it was ok, we walked a little bit more and called it quits there. He was very willing!
