To New Beginnings

Well my final month begins at the farm I'm at and I have to say I already know I'm going to miss it. It's been such a wonderful place for Jimmy to recover and I love that the gates are always open for me to come back. Feeling welcome is such a huge deal at farms because it only helps you feel safe about where your horse is living.

WARNING: PROUD MOMENT Yesterday I received the kindest e-mail from my current barn owner in regards to my time spent with Pepe and I'd love to share it. 

"I can't thank you enough for your help. You are not only a great trainer, but your horse handling skills are fantastic.  You are THE female "Horse Whisperer".  I'm not kidding - I mean it!!!"

Haha I told her the other day if she ever gets an indoor, I will come back and never leave. I love the barn, I love the care my horse gets, and I love the location - just off the beaten path enough that it's quiet and peaceful. I can come and go as I please, no hours, no rules drilled into my head...just blissful hours with my horsey friends without a thing to be concerned about. I will definitely miss it.

However, on that note I am so absolutely exhilarated to start things at the new farm. It's only 5 miles from where Jimmy is now and it's another WONDERFUL place. Great people, great facility, and has exactly what we need. The stalls are bigger, which is a bonus, and they have both indoor and outdoor riding arenas – essential.

I've already been hired to start hacking one of the horses there a few times a week, effective immediately so I think this weekend I'll pencil some time in to get that show on the road. There are also some new boarders coming in there this weekend so I'll try to get there when I know they'll be arriving and introduce myself.

I'm very excited for where the journey ahead. It's not about the destination!!
