Your horses and your farm are all gorgeous! May I ask what a full schedule looks like for you? Just in the number of shows?

I’m frankly envious of all of you with show access, while remaining grateful for the countryside to enjoy my minis!

Thank you! Depending on how large my show string is, or if I am going for year end awards, a full show season usually means about 4 local shows, Area Regionals or Congress, and Nationals. In 2021, when I was showing A&R, I did 8 shows from Mar-Sept. That was when I was closer to them though. Show access is relative here! The closest one is 4.5hrs with most being 7-8hrs.

Beautiful pictures

Thank you!

Wow Edelweiss! That is a distance for you and your horses to travel. I tend to think I’m the only one out in the “boonies”.

I can imagine your show days are a constant stream of activity! Enjoy this year’s calmer pace!

I am glad you enjoy them!! Thank you!

Gaston is nearly ready to be started in the cart. I am happy to see this view! It's been a long time coming as we couldn't really do anything harness related until he got his teeth done, but now that we finally started, he is coming along quickly! He just needs to be introduced to breeching and then he will meet his cart!

Absolutely in love with this little yearling filly!
Before and after. The difference that only two months of maturing and conditioning makes. Plus the lack of a winter coat.
