Living and WORKING on the Farm

It never seems that we ever get everything done that needs done! My dad came down this weekend and helped us finally get all the fencing done so that Flint has full range of the 4+acres. It was a lot of hard work, a few words were exchanged, energy expended, but in the end, the fence is complete and it looks great! Jay was in charge of the tractor, Dad kept everything plumb and in line, and I was in charge of adding the nails to the boards. All in all, a successful project! Flint seems to like it, don't you think?

Update on Flint

Well, the past couple of months have been exciting with Flint. We have gone from him trying to bully me, bite me, to gaining his respect and trust. I must admit that I have not gotten this far without the help of some great people. Reanna, my riding instructor, came out a couple of weeks ago and finally, successfully got me on Flint. It was scary and exciting all at the same time. Also Terri Wood, a natural horsewoman has been out twice. She is fabulous and has instructed me on the Parelli Partnership methods. Flint has really taken to the 7 games and I must admit that I think that I have fallen in love with a horse! Nothing like living out your childhood dreams at 34!
