A fresh start

So even though I've been working Benny a few months for an old client ( a very nice way if me to put it!)...now that he's mine and since hot rod is on maternity leave from hard work, Benny is getting a complete new and fresh start! I must say he's coming along wonderfully and is going to make me one heck of an English horse!!! Can't wait until he has a little more finess because he's going to take everyone's breath away!!

A little bit of history

Ok so yes I love my hot rod mare and soon to be here baby!!! But I'm also head over heels for a certain bay 16.3 thoroughbred boy! I'm so relieved he is mine and will be taken care of now and I can get even further into his re-training now that is in mine :)

But this is where he came from, a kentucky bred thoroughbred originally sold for 70,000 dollars won several stakes races including the woodbine which I have posted a link to :

But what's even cooler is his pedigree he is a great great grandson of secretariat one of the greatest race horses that ever lived, so while I love my other horses it's hard not to stare in awe at a living piece of history! It's so amazing that we came together!

Snowy horsey morning

Went out to play with my babies, groom, clean and do my horsey chores! Only five min after I started the flurries began and the temp dropped and it really began to snow! Got everyone tied inside for grooming and we stayed pretty cozy inside the barn, I gave hot rod and Benny extra hay to munch on today to stay warm and they seemed so happy in the barn, took some pictures of them after they were placed in their stalls, a couple of times they thought my phone might be a cookie lol spoiled horses !! I love them so much!

A herd from 1 to 3 in just days

So I started with miss hot rod, who is currently in foal, but then through stressful and idiotic actions I also ended up with a thoroughbred ex-race horse, who I had been schooling to be ridden in western tack and made to be more of an all around pleasure horse; however circumstances with his owner led him to become mine yesterday! I'm going to make him a champ, an English either hunter or jumper depending on his scope and how he handles he transition, heck hopefully 3-day eventing too!! His name is Benestar " Benny" for now not sure if ill change it, he'll be 5 next month so he and I have lots of time to work together, plus with school starting and baby on he way and work ill have a very full plate! But I like it that way, work funds my loves and passions which is traveling and horses, and school will provide me with skills to earn even more so that our dreams of a big equine center can come true ( hopefully in colorado or south Texas, possibly Illinois because that's where Robert is from) the possibilities are endless...

The biggest little fan

Ok so I actually dislike football as a rule,( American version, because I actually love rugby because they beat the crap out of each other and don't cry about getting tripped) Plus the salary for football is crazy stupid!!! But the sport can be dumb lame and annoying at times and I don't care about season passes or stupid shit like that on TV... BUT

I LOVE the Denver Broncos!!! They have a horse mascot, which I adore, the are from colorado one of the most beautiful states and for the most part my fellow fans are cool and reasonable people :) did I mention the horse ;) lol
I watch every game and win or lose I love them, probably because almost every Texan hates them and feels they must cheer for the highly over rated, retard cowboys ( which I hate) lol that's Roberts team btw lol! Do if for no other reason than to piss off cowboys fans I love Denver!

So this year with Peyton manning as our new QB we have done awesome, winning the top seed in the AFC!! Home field advantage and all!! Next week we take in the Baltimore ravens which I doubt will offer much resistance, hopefully we power through to the Super Bowl and show them what that blue and orange horse can do!

Hopefully this big little fan in Texas can cheer them on!!!

Cat cuteness!!!

Waiting for Robert to wake up and the kitties are being SO cuddly and cute!

Milo and Odie have decided that if anyone is awake, or not, that they require constant pets, loves and food.,. Hence Odie laying on my face this morning until I woke up while milo was smacking my face LOL my cats are insanely controlling

New year of excitement and more dreams come true

As everyone knows baby horse is on the way, and now we are six-months in!!! This horse matters more to me than anything ( except Robert lol I love him but I love my horse )
Already prepping for the next years show season, going to attend the shows this year to catch up on the show world, been out since the Andalusian farm... So forever ago!

Spring and summer Robert and I will be working on the house updates, not really feeling it during the cold lol but bough the new floors for the other bedroom so as soon as good weather allows the spare bedroom can be updated... Then hopefully the fugly green tile in the entrance way can come soon ... Cause I hate it ;)


Plus I start school in just over a week, can't wait to earn my degree and pursue my dream field, I hope god provides me with the skills and knowledge to give me what I need to succeed :)


So here's to my pregnant Hot Rod and geology studies :) here I come 2013!!!
