Working my fingers to the Bone.....

Well... it is very good to have income coming in....but, its time consuming, too.  LOL... so, while I'd rather be a woman to the manor born... and independently wealthy,  ......its not happening here, folks!........   I've been trying to scope out a place for me to find a house to lease, and a new barn for  Comanche'.  First, I will have her transported to be with me, once I do know what area I want to live in....and, then, I'll do what it takes to get a house close by.  I think I've found one that has good grass hay, and a place to ride into the desert, but I don't like that there's no pasture to run in... and that means she would be trapped in a small corral all day and night...unless I can arrange for her to be turned out some each day.  I'm anxiously awaiting her arrival but I have to take care of the details........  Stay tuned!!!..........  Happy TRAILS!!!!

Finding a Soft Spot to Land...............

Well...that title certainly brings images to a rider's mind....that don't seem to occur to a non rider.   I've only fallen off one horse in my entire life..........and, yes, you guessed it.... It was off Comanche'.  Now, it really wasn't her fault.  I was on a bareback pad, and I'd not changed out the Chicago screws to ties ....so when I pulled back on my reins...here it came...and I was unbalanced ...not having expected this to happen.  ( Note to self: be prepared from now on)  ... well..it scared the wholly stuffing out of me... and, as I landed...nearly under Comanche's belly...I was terrified I'd be stomped.  But no, my girl was absolutely stock still, and she looked down to say, what are you doing DOWN THERE?????........ I think she was truly surprised.... so, the point of this post is....be prepared for anything!...No horse is truly bomb-proof... and, come to think of it.....neither are we... !    Happy Trails, Y'all!!!...

Missing my Mare.....

I've been waiting to bring Comanche' here to Arizona from New Mexico until I have a better idea of where I will be located in the area.  I'm still looking for just the right spot.  But I may see if I can bring her over to the barn I've found near Cave Creek.  Its a fairly good size with a nice arena and round pen and also desert access to ride for miles... that's a big plus... and plenty of people around to ride with it seems.  So, stay tuned!.. Happy Trails until then!.....
