Jul 12, 2009 Time to catch up!

I can't believe I haven't posted for so long....Foaling season, breeding, baby training, show season and our ranch day prep., have swept my time away...how lucky I am. I just started riding again. I'm excited! I'm a greener than green rider, but given my previous phobia of horses, I allow myself to feel good about my riding....this continues to be a spectacular year...I'm not saying I haven't had problems...employees, more undisclosed problems with horses I've bought...but that stuff is what it is, and I have to pull my head above water, take a breath and be thankful for the amazing opportunity I have. Here's a pic of me and one of our babies...a 500 lb baby! I've been interested in working with non-profits...I need to spend some time deciding the best way to connect with an organization and utilize our loving Friesians...Something about them, or I should say everything about them, makes people just so at ease....Something definitely made for sharing...

Jun 28, 2009 Ranch Day, benefiting American Cancer Society

Maddi's Friesian Ranch 2nd Ranch Day benefiting the American Cancer Society. We raised $4192 this year. We put on a pas de deux, a round pen training demo and a baby training demo. We shared a delicious bbq, and in great Nevada tradition, had a poker game in the evening. A full day of great fun. We are so fortunate to be able to share our ranch and horses while raising money for an important charity.
