Speaking of two really nice horses, they finally arrived last night! Meet Revolutionary (aka Rebel, mare, white blaze) and Romantic (aka Romy, gelding, bay), both 4 yo. They have both accepted their first cookies. More as soon as they recover from the jet lag and our high altitude!

New Year’s Resolutions Around the Barn: Imagine (11 yr old KWPN gelding) - Now that I’ve reached 4th level in dressage, I vow to grow a mustache worthy of Tom Selleck. If you think I’m too young to know who Tom Selleck is, Boomers, I googled it. 👨🦰

New Year's Resolutions Around the Barn: Sadie (TB mare old enough to be considering an ear lift) - This year I resolve to hire a new stylist because I'm tired of being featured on the annual "Fashion Don'ts" list. I knew I shouldn’t have let Rafael talk me into that plaid with electric blue. 😤
