The holidays are a fun, happy time of year, unless you have annoying family like mine!  Good things can still come out of the holidays though.  About 2 weeks ago my trainer offered me another horse to show over winter, and she is letting me train one of the two year olds at the barn!  Its so exciting, the horse I am getting to ride in named Reno, and he is a huge beautiful black horse that is a super star! :) The filly that I am getting to train is a cute little bay, and she is just the sweetest thing ever!  She is very cute, and so smart, if I had the money I would buy her myself!
The sad part is that I am thinking about selling my horse, Moe, who I have had for 8 years, since he was 4 months old.  I raised him, and trained him almost all by myself until last spring.  It will be really hard to say goodbye, but sometimes you need to let go so that you can move on to bigger and better things.
I hope that the holidays find you all well, and that you all have a wonderful time even with the annoying family!!

XOXO
