I Have Returned Triumphant

I have returned triumphant from my pony shopping expedition. I had three ponies to consider: Natalie, Petra and Penny. The new pony I fell in love with was Petra....

Collecting registration and Coggins/Health Certificate documents revealed that Petra was actually Penelope AKA Penny, and that the mix-up began years ago. I have actually chosen Penelope, who shell be known as Nell.

She ships out on Monday, one 12 had mare in a semi full of Thoroughbred yearlings from the Keenland sale.

Working Equitatiopn, Goats and Shopping

I got a new phone. What a hassle. If its not one thing, its another.
Here are some pics from a Working Equitation schooling show I volunteered to help with.

As you know. my pony Yndi died. She left another pony, Pepper, and two goats: Grendel and Peanut. Peanut went away for the breeding season to his own little herd of does to help make kids and milk in the spring. Then Grendel died suddenly, leaving Pepper totally by herself.

So I fetched Peanut back. Pepper became unmanageable unless she was hooked to her cart, in which case she was a totally obedient work-a-holic. So she is at a boarding stable in training. There are other horses, she is happy.

I have made travel plans to shop for another pony. I don't feel ready. Pepper is ready. I need to take care of Pepper.

In the meantime, Peanut, having out grown the name Peanut buy become a total goober anyway, was alone. So now there is Star. She rode from Hollister in the back of my Subaru Outback. A big hit at Evergreen San Jose Chevron Station.
