Seth started taking lessons for Miniature Horse lessons. It looks like so much fun!

Emma recently graduated from Boot Camp. Doesn’t she look fit? I wish someone would force me to exercise everyday. *sigh* the gift of free-will.

We were at the barn the other day and Seth wanted to ride Emma. He had been acting hyper most of the evening and when he looked at me he had that wild-eyed, out of control look that I have come to recognize. It’s the look that says, “you can say what you want, but there is no where in my brain that it will process, so it won’t make a difference.” Emma was already wild-eyed herself after giving 4 other kids rides. She was a little out of her comfort zone. Wanting to divert a potential deadly disaster, I told Seth he could not ride, but he could lead Emma around if he wanted. What I saw was absolutely amazing.

I’ve had some changes in my “farm-life”. I moved Emma to a stable that is much closer. It was a major experience searching for and finding the right stable. Wow, there are a lot of different kinds of horse people out there! I think we’ve found the right place, though. Emma seems happy there and we are all very comfortable. I can see her more often because it is so close.
Yesterday, our goats moved to a new home. It was a very sad day for me. I have had Meri (the little black-and-white one) for over 2 years. She’s been my constant backyard companion. She has helped me through so much. I’m going to miss her a lot. At least Emma is closer now.

Lights of London “Lola” was born three weeks premature on May 11, 2008 to my mare, Emma. She was a beautiful little Cleavland Bay/Thoroughbred cross. She fought for 8 long days in the ICU in Corvallis. My friend Krista, her owner, made the very difficult decision to euthanize her to ease her painful struggle. This is a very sad time for her. I know all who read this will remember her in your prayers. This picture was taken just hours before she died. Emma stuck with her the whole time and wouldn’t leave her half-stall the entire 8 days. This was Emma’s first baby.
