Looking back...

Going through old pictures on my computer....

I was maybe 5 or 6?
Time sure flies - it doesn't seem that long ago that picture was taken... 
I think Shan and I had the same haircut!

Aside from the bangs and the weird pigtails,
it got me thinking how quickly things change...


Three years ago in September we didn't have Rufus
(far right)

Two years ago this month there were eight horses at the farm...
 
Last year in September there were 5...
Star and Solitaire should be driving handily as a team by now.
Now there are two.  (Although Amyra will be back.)

Can't help but wonder what the next year will bring.
Of course there's no way to tell.  
But one thing I am pretty sure of - the pony-esque bangs?  
Not happening again! LOL

Welcome back :)

Long story short, the farm owner - except for Sunny and Amyra, all the horses belong to her - decided a few years ago to stop breeding. She sold three of the older broodmares last fall, and two of the young mares went to a gentleman who's training them to drive. Our young mare is at the trainer, so right now the only horses at the farm are Sunny and Thunder - and the pastures look really empty. (We've kept Rufus with friends we ride with often, since at the time we bought him introducing another horse into the herd wasn't an option.)

And believe it or not, that was the short version - LOL!
