Finally thinned my herd down to 9 horses and then made mistake of visiting somewhere I know I should never go without my husband (he's the one who talks me out of buying things) Bailey's no help she just starts loading anything that catches our eyes. So anyways we're back up to 11,
Meet Jackie (hoping to find the papers on her as she is registered) she's a 14.2hh overo mare, and Kid's first Official girlfriend, funny thing is now that he as actually bred a mare he's actually calmer, hope that holds for the Color classic show in Windsor in 2 wks.

And the other mare I was told was passported and named Honey of an O years ago and also named Slick, I dont care for either name so havent come up with what we'll call her she's my favorite to ride at the moment.
both will be resale horses but I'm kindof hoping they dont sell any time soon ;)
Have a Canadian 3yr Stallion arriving monday too for 30 days riding but no pics of him yet.
Now for some of the weekend, Havelock horse show was fantastic, Sack race was nuts, 27 horses/riders galloping around the arena till music stops, then flying dismounts and running for the sacks in middle of arena, Proud of Bailey and her horse Bailey, they ended up 4th in that event, and got 5th in pony express and second in Bat race, funny thing is the wilder crazier the event the better they do. She kept him reined in for barrels/poles as he was in re-training as he tends to get so hot he almost cant be stopped once he gets going and he's a horse that loves to go full out.
here's some of the days events, the rest are on my facebook page (add me Syl Balsor) if you want to view all 180 pics.

This one I thought was funny... Rescue squad equipment set up at the horse show.... notice Hammer on back board. I asked Paramedic what the purpose of hammer was for? to make sure victim was really knocked out?? they said " Yep"
(hammer was actually to pound in the tent stakes for the shelter they had put up, but sure looked out of place with the rescue gear)
