Aspen Finds a Home

This week, Aspen's adoption was completed.  We hauled her to her new owner and we think she will be very happy there.  (If horses are happy!!)

Susan and Don are her new owners and Susan said she has been wanting a horse her whole life.  They have a big place and pasture (if it ever rains) for her to run in.  Eventually, they will probably get another horse for Aspen to be with.  Susan wants to learn Natural Horsemanship so we will be teaching her how to work with Aspen.  Aspen was a favorite with both us and Stephanie, her Bluebonnet contact, as she was so nice to work with. 

The Bluebonnet Horse Rescue Expo

We participated in the Bluebonnet Horse Rescue a week or so back. This is the third year we have participated and the Expo is growing steadily. This year there were lots more vendors and eighteen clinicians and demonstrations to watch. There was everything from drill teams to horse clinicians to vaulters. It was very interesting. There were many more vendors and while the adoptions were down a little, because of the drought and economy, there were lots more people at the Expo. This Expo promises to be bigger and better in the future. There is no other big Expo in this area and that makes more people come to it. Make plans to go next year. It only cost $5 to get in and this is Bluebonnet’s main fund raiser.

Jere did a demonstration on personalities of the horse. A couple of his students chose several horses that were there to be adopted and he told what kind of personalities they had and what to do for each of the four personality types. He was in the outside arena, but even so had quite a few in the audience.

We would like to thank all of our students, friends and family that showed up to support us. We got to visit and they were a lot of help. We sure appreciate you all.
