Six Years Ago!

It is crazy how time really flies by!!! Around this time of year in 2007, I offically became the owner of Katie! She was only 3 at the time so I have seen her grow into such a great 9 year old horse! It has been a great 6 years and it would only be better if I could still see her everyday, but I know she is being loved just as much right now and has potential to do wonderful things while I am busy with school! :)

Visiting Katie One Last Time

In a few weeks I have to bring Katie back to the farm. I had a chance to visit her once last time out at Majestic Winds Stable, LLC.

Katie looking for more treats rather than at the camera!

Katie doesn't have a care in the world when Alex runs and 

jumps right onto her back and gets comfy!

Alex always riding Katie when he gets the chance to.

Visiting Katie and Riding Bareback

Kisses for Kiss Me Kate 

Riding bareback for the first time since forever...which led to a very dirty and sore butt afterwards!

Stable Hand Help

In January, I got to help out for a few months at a stable in De Pere, Wisconsin.

Thor the Thoroughbred/Shire. My favorite horse out there.

Barn #1

Barn #2

Houdini aka "HUGE" the Dutch Warmblood.

I got to personally work with him on lunging for exercise on days he was not ridden.

Merry Christmas 2012!!!

Visiting Katie for Christmas!

Katie and her mare herd. 

She was the alpha mare of the group, but was still a sweet girl and didn't pick on the others. 

Always has her head in the hay feeder. 

Such an easy horse to catch.

Look at all that winter fur!

Cheesy Christmas pose!

Always looking for treats from Alex!

Making new friends with the new horse across the fence.

Visiting Katie

I had the opportunity to be able to visit Katie while she was being leased out by
 Majestic Winds Stable, LLC.

I love my Katie horse <3 p="">

Tacking up!

Lunging in the indoor.

Riding in the indoor before going to the outdoor.

She only wanted her front feet on the bridge.

Alex gives horseback riding a thumbs up!

Alex enjoys riding Katie.

Still only the front feet on the bridge... stinky pony! :) 

Alex loves Katie too! <3 br="">

She was such a good girl! :) So proud!
