Back after a long blogging hiatus!

Wow it has been a long long time since I've blogged! A lot happened, and still is happening in my little horsey world. Instead of writing a million words about it I'll just post a bunch of pictures with short descriptions to keep things tolerable. ^.^

In August, I decided to try board Max with my friend at her barn. It was a lovely place, run by a really nice family. Plus I had my friend there and her horse Reo and Max got along nicely.

Unfortunately the commute proved too long for me and with a heavy heart I moved him back to his old barn. Luckily they are super nice folks too and welcomed us back with open arms. I've been so fortunate to be surrounded by such kind understanding horse people.

Apple picking!

There were still some fun activities to be had. One was a neat trip out on the trails, where Max learned how to be a little more confident.

Then, Reo and Max and the happy humans entered a Halloween costume hunter pace where we won fourth place in the costume division!! It was such a blast!!

The most recent event was Max's move to yet another barn! He is now closer to where I live and work, in hopes that I can see him more often this winter. So far we really love the place, and hopefully we can stay for a bit (so long as my groaning pocketbook can handle it!). We've already met some wonderful people there, and it seems like a really active place with a huge variety of riders - eventing, fox-hunting, dressage, trail riders. It isn't a show barn by any means though..more of a boarding barn with a bunch of nice folks who just enjoy doing activities with their horses. I love that!  The facilities are great too, and there is just so much property to explore on horse-back in the area it will probably take us years!

Plus...the views are absolutely breathtaking!!!!
