Well i thought i would join in on all the photo uploading, i don't have many but after some editing (its not very good) i have picked the ones i think turned out best. I hope you enjoy, Ive also added a little story for each picture "After a exhausting day of washing, clipping up Misty ready for her departure to The Lawrence Equestrian Center. I woke up in the morning and decided i should let her out in the pasture (being locked up all night she most likely wanted to kick up her heels) and well that's exactly what she done. I lead her out (she was feeling a little bit too fresh) and put her in the paddock with Mia ( These two were best of friends in a short amount of time). They ate happily while i mucked out their stalls and cleaned up the sheds. I really didn't want to leave them unsupervised as they were ALWAYS getting up to no good. I really needed to clean the house so i went over to the fence were both girls came up to me (hoping i had a treat or five) i said to them "i can trust you two wont get up to no good?" They both looked at me with such gentle eyes. so i went and cleaned the house. While i was dusting down the old rustic bookshelf i picked up for a few bucks i heard a thunder of hoofs and squealing. I rushed out side, both mares kicking at each other and having a down right great time. I just shook my head. Another day: I decided that before Misty goes of to LEC i would saddle her up and ride her. (mind you its been years since she has been ridden, so i could be in for a real ride) She was so lovely to saddle up maybe a little girthy, I decided i would lunge her for a few minutes and warm her up and time for her to release any last bucks she has hidden up her sleeve. OK now time to hop on. I walked her into the dressage ring and jumped on, wow she just stood there. I kicked her on, and yup a nice calm walk. I walked her for a few minutes, just getting the feel of her again. I thought to myself "maybe a trot wont her" i pushed her on and well the outcome wasn't what i was expecting. I think she may need some re-educating!!! She was prancing with her head held high, no matter what i tried she just wouldnt collect herself and calm down. I wasn't even going to try a canter, knowing my luck she would be gone in a second with me hanging on for dear life! Mia, My new Hanoverian mare, I still haven't came up with a show name for her, so please any ideas would be much appreciated. So now that Misty has been floated off to LEC (a secret that i will share when she comes home) I decided Mia needs some work, She was an amazing show-jumper, so much scope and loved every minute of it. Here are some pictures from our first day jumping together (shes so amazing) It was a sunny day and seeing as all the horses were enjoying the sun and spent the whole day in the large back pasture together, i decided that i might take romeo down to the lake for a few XC jumps. When we got their he was so excited, never seen a XC course in his life only the race track. This was his first impression of the course. I had to continually pat him just to keep him calm. And the last picture for this post is WPE Kiss My Package (I really love his name) I started doing some natural horsemanship him and he really is a gentle giant. Thanks for viewing my album, i hope you enjoyed it. More photos at a later date ;D

My New horse WPE Alonso, he arrived with my other lusitanos (Which are for sale, check out community updates) He was imported from a Spanish Stud in England. I was going to sell him but the more that i look at him, i just couldnt bring myself to do it! I cannot wait to have him competing around the community.

~UPDATE~
It was late night and i was finishing up feeding the horses, when i recieved a call from Christina from LEC, i was so excited to hear the news. A few hours passed and a truck pulled into my driveway, i lowered the tail gate and there i saw Misty and hidden behind her was a stunning little black foal with only 2 tiny white coronot markings, he peered out from around mistys tail. I slowly walked misty off the float she was more than happy to finally be off the truck and right behind her trotted a COLT! I put mum and baby away in a box stall for the night. In the morning i had to come up with a name for this guy so Christina could up her files. WPE Call Me Cadiliac was perfect. Boyd is his stable name. Boyd is the last foal to be produced from the one and only LEC Call Me Cassanova, even though he is retired, Christina and i agreed that AI was my only option. Here he is with mum, and extremely happy, and here is before his journey to White Park Equestrian Centre. And now some new pictures of my Lusitano dressage stallion WPE Alosno, Here he is trying his hand and some dressage moves. And this is my favourite picture, i was lucky enough to get the perfect angle.
