September 2023

 September was a  good month. It started off with a trip to Florida to attend a scrapbooking retreat with Tracey. I was able to spend some time with George before and after the retreat. And Tracey and I enjoyed three days of long days scrapbooking along with some relaxing over drinks and by the pool. The retreat is held at the Sanibel Harbor Hotel which is an beautiful hotel with amazing views. It was a much needed break for me.





Sophia is bonding with Wren. Wren is a good all around horse. He not only is trained in dressage but he loves to jump. In the picture here he made a one stride a bounce and had a long reach jump. 


Sophia and Wren did their first show together. It was a RAINY day. Most people scratched but we braved the rain and Sophia and Wren had two good rides. Kate and Morgan even came to see her ride. Sophia has always bought the horses she rides a special brow band. This one was custom made for Wren. Blue beads (Sophia's favorite color) with a dragon in the center.




Sophia wanted her senior photos with a horse. She was thinking Nicki and/or Brisk but once we purchased Wren it had to be him. These are the photos I took alongside the photographer. The ones from the photographer are even better. She have rights to all the photos. They are amazing. 


 

Our pets are all wonderful. I love watching Otto cuddle up to Loki. Mr. Twinkletoes has enjoyed cuddling with us and loves joining us for dinner and at the table when Steve and I play games.
