Horse Crazy





I wonder where she gets it? We went to Elizabeth Beal's today. She and I were acquaintances back when I showed horses for Becky. She rode with Kevin & Michelle Jochens (different trainers/barn). Anyway, she's 'small time' like Becky & John were, has similar training and riding background, and is open to having me, the horse-world's version of a soccer mom, for a client.


Jason and I really want Eden to get acquainted early with horses; establish a healthy respect for them and start working on balance exercises. We have a tentative goal of getting Eden and Elizabeth entered at the American Royal for a lead line class this year. We'll see how things go.


Eden was very comfortable around "April" ('her' horse for today). She listened well to Elizabeth and just really had fun. She even told Elizabeth she wanted to "go fast." Just call her Danika (sp?). So, Elizabeth let her trot for 10 or so strides & then Eden wanted to stop! Ha! Not scared, just had enough of a taste.


So, here are some pictures...sorry for the quality; having to make do with what we have for now; still haven't figured out how to get video on here...anybody have any instruction in that area?


We're looking at maybe getting her entered in the American Royal this year for a lead line class...how cute.
