a video that got me thinking

I just finished watching a video on YouTube that really made me think and i hope this is a long time from now but the quote used in the video only the good die young. i cant imagine losing a best friend that has been there with you from the begging weather its the first show, first time trailering, all the falls, trail rides, foxhunts,and more but no matter what age they leave they are always there in our hearts and will always be with us no matter what we move on to do. it just got me thinking on if i ever lost Gus even if he isn't mine it feels like he is and i know my heart would break into a billion pieces because of the lose of a good friend that never judged or got mad but was their for a shoulder to cry on and they are a rock when you need them Horses are different then people no matter what my happen to you they always are there to comfort you and it always helps to have someone there that will stand by you.

right now i still have my best friend but the day that changes i know it will be the worst day of my life 






the pictures here show the bond that i have with this horse that is going to last for a long time

one thing that means spring to me

Okay as the title says there is one thing that means spring to me and that is the annual spring riding clinic. that is what i think of when i hear the word spring. the camp was enjoyable with helping and riding the first day we did cross country jumps in the top pasture and the second day we did a mock horse show and it was all a good way to get Gus's training further along. We have an upcoming show in may and Gus and i will hopefully place a little higher this year then last with his training being further along then last year.
