Show Lady the LOVE

We are so happy that Lady is beginning to trust us more. We gave her a bath over the weekend. We were told that she didn't like a hose and so we were worried about it but she did really well. We will take more time with it next time and use detangler on her tail too.
I am not sure but I think that Amber and Lady are really developing a special bond. Lady really responds well to Amber and vise versa. Amber is taking on a lot of Lady's daily duties.
All of us enjoyed loving on her!!!

Life at the stables

Amber is cleaning Lady's hooves, cleaning out her hooves is using her nightly chore.
Well this one is a pretty bad picture, but it is pretty accurate for our days and nights these days. We are rushed between dance and taking care of lady.
As you can see, everyone has to help out with the chores. Jaylee even told Jim when he came home last Sunday that he wasn't putting the shaving in the stall right. So far there haven't been any complaints about cleaning up ucky messes.

Amber's Riding 2nd Lesson

Amber is taking riding lessons on Tonto. She is really loving it and having a great time. She just needs to learn to be a little more aggressive. She takes after me, doesn't want to hurt the horse.
Marty is trying to teach Amber balance on Tonto. She has many different exercises that she has to do.

Our recent trip to Six Flags

One of our very favorite things to do at Six Flags is going to the Butterfly Garden. We love to spend a long time in the garden. It is very hot and humid but well worth it. You have never seen such a beautiful sight in your life. It may be the one place on earth that my girls are still and quite besides the library.

Jaylee loves to sit and watch the butterflys. You literally have to drag her on to the next spot, once you point out something else for her to look at she will finally decide to move on. She is just facinated.

This butterfly is called a paper kite.


This last time we went to six flags they were getting ready for Halloween. The had a maze made out of hay bales in one of the water rides that is shut down for the colder weather.

Most all of the characters were out and they were in costumes. They even had trick or treating in the evening in the kiddie area.
