As usual, we've been pretty busy.
We spent Thanksgiving down at Doe Lake with AHOOF. They said it would be their last year hosting. However, it looks like the tradition may continue.
 |
| Doe lake has a great set up for horse camping. There are hi-tie poles throughout the campgound. |
 |
| Cory found some friends her age. They drew some decorations for the dinner hall. |
 |
| The food was WODERFUL! |
 |
| Erik fell asleep by the fire after dinner. |
 |
| Cory took Christina's horse, Addy, for a spin. She did very well. Doesn't she look tiny up there? |
 |
| Cory, Gene, Coral, and Christina |
 |
| Shoe tree |
 |
| Bra tree |
 |
| Panty tree |
 |
| Chele |
 |
| YAY, Liz is back! She had sent her horse, Monarch, to a trainer for a few months. They are doing so much better. It was definitely money well spent. |
 |
| Christina's sister, Jen, helped me ride my boys. Here she is on Ranger and Anna on her horse, Layla. |
 |
| Here she is on Linc. |
 |
| Jenny plays with her bull whip on Linc. |
 |
| He got all fancy feet on her. (I'm happy to report he stood still for me when I did it.) |
 |
| Jenny popped it of Rocky. He never flinched! :) |
 |
| After riding, everyone helped Cory with her science fair project. Here's Bryne do a taste test. |
 |
| Gene got in on the action while saddled. |
 |
| Me on Rocky playing musical feed bags. |
 |
| Relay race |
 |
| Cory on Ranger racing Jenny |
 |
| Rocky was spooked by the feed bag, but I made the best of it. No one said you had to ride your horse around the cone. |
 |
| Whoops! |
 |
| More food than we could eat. |
 |
| Big circle of love around the fire. |
 |
| Anna's mom gets a gag gift in the White Elephant Gift Exchange |
 |
| I thought this was too funny. This is Anna and her husband, Bryne. I think he needs a bigger chair. |
 |
| One of my favorite views. |
 |
| Dru making her way up the bank. |
 |
| Jaime |
 |
| We found this jacket on the trail. Cathy thought it would be fun to blindfold poor Busta. |
Ride from Dimond D
 |
| This is why you shouldn't park next to a port-a-poty. Chele and I couldn't resist messing with our friends truck. (I'm sure payback will be a beotch.) |
 |
| Susan having fun at the creek. |
 |
| Cheese!!! (We were waiting for the rope to break.) |
 |
| Coming back across. |
 |
| They had to go thru a DEEP hole. Thank God for good ponies. |
Beach ride at Mickler's with Luvs 2 Ride
 |
| What tack box is complete without a bottle of champagne? |
 |
| Strike a pose Sheryl! |
 |
| Handsome as ever! |
 |
| Heading out |
 |
| Love for Ranger |
 |
| Rocky says, "You really want me to go in there?!?!" |
 |
| I am beaming with pride here. Rocky NEVER liked the water at the beach when I rode him. He and Cory are the perfect match. He does things for her that I didn't think were possible. |
 |
| Me and Ranger |
Warning the videos are a bit shaky. You might need your dramamine.
Palying on the whoopty-do trail at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center
 |
| Liz |
 |
| You just can't trust your friend's horse not to eat your saddle. |
 |
| This is a big deal for Liz. She never would have trusted Monarch like this before sending him to the trainer. |

You always have such great pictures! Okay, if I would have tried to sit on any horse like Jen is sitting on Ranger, gravity would take over and I would roll right off! Ha ha!
Love the shadow picture of you and Ranger, but I LOVE the video where you pan over to your shadow cantering on the beach. No dramamine needed for any of the videos. :-)
Oh, did Anna's Mom put her gag gift on the panty tree? Hee hee!
Oh yeah, Cory looks like that little girl I remember when she is on Addy! I really do love that the two of you ride together. And the giggle in one of the videos from Cory...loved it!
HAHA, that would have been a great idea! Next time...
She is growing fast these days. I'm so lucky that we share this passion. I would not have been a good cheer mom. ;)
Life is good !
