Location: In The Snow, AZ | I get to wake up every day with my best friend by my side. I have a beautiful, intelligent, loving daughter who asks if I will have breakfast with her, every morning. We have horses, dogs and chickens, with just enough feed in the barn to keep going. Every day is the best day, because it's a blessing from God. |

| I was just thinking what an absolutely fabulous summer it has been already!! My main mount hit a few speed bumps, but seems to be past them and keeps running harder every run, my unseasoned horse is coming along like wildfire and I can't wait to see what he's like in a couple months, my SO bought me a practically new Elite LQ trailer so that I will hit the road a bit more (he knows how much I love to barrel race, but I've been hanging out at home a lot the last couple years getting horses ready since I sold my rodeo horse), and I got my motorcycle license!!! |

Location: In Ky following Barrel Races & Walker hounds. | this has been a rough year and I feel like I am running on whatever little bits of good happen...Yesterday I got told not to take photos at the track anymore, which really bummed me out(that was my time to escape from reality), but apparently since people were coming to me to buy prints it was against their contract with the photographer they hired, so I have to stop. Oh well, the good thing is I have more time to work on the house and spend time with my husband and my dogs, I have time to ride now(which I did today). Were moving along pretty good on remodeling the house(bathroom is done, moving on to the kitchen next), and the best thing of all is I have a wonderful, supportive husband that is behind me 100% on whatever crazy ideas I decide to try. He is my rock!  |

And we've been wearing our jackets at night around here! At least until today.....man it is hot out there! I'm pretty sure I've never needed a jacket over the 4th of July before. |

We are moving into our new house we just finished building this week and just found out that the wifey is pregnant with #2. I couldn't be happier.
Congratulations!!!! Our tiny humans are all going to be so close in age!! Isn't WhiteBaby #1 about 18ish months too? |

On the positive side --
Matt seems to be breaking out of his bareback riding slump. He got hung up, drug, fallen on, stomped and rolled on in mid-June and has struggled physically and mentally since then but last night he made the whistle and did a lot of things right. No money but making the whistle is a good start. Time to build on it and pile up the points & checks! http://youtu.be/Cj4rVvqJJ1U?list=UU3h0VmyuYbqBRUor4JBQVlA
Cliff won his second rodeo of the year on July 10th (no video darn it - probably the best run we've ever made too), Chance seems to feel good after a very very light summer schedule so far, Streak is gaining weight and turning into one heck of a fun grand entry horse (he also really likes getting petted by kids at the rodeos), Joker and Diamond are holding their weight really well for being 21 & 20, and LG the project horse survived a few "long" trailer rides and riding around at two rodeos over the weekend.
I lived through the county fair last week and even won grand champion hand crafted art for a beaded necklace I made, and I have lost 10 pounds the past couple months by doing short & simple workouts most days. If I keep that up, I will find a whole new pile of jeans to wear! Oh and I bought brand new Wrangler Aura jeans for 80 CENTS Friday. SCORE!!!!!
My good news is that I picked up a new, VERY PRETTY horse on Sunday!
I want to see pics of the new pretty horse!!
Can I email you a pic - I can't do FB at work and photobucket is a pain so I never post pics on here anymore! - PM me your email addy and I'll send you a pic and you can post it if you would like to! |

Sounds like you might be a better photographer than the one they hired!  Sorry they said to stop as I SURE enjoyed your photos. |

Location: SW MO | We have had a wonderful year this year! I am thankful everyday I wake up that I live in the country away from town & for the country that I live in. After having a bad year last year things couldn't be better. Both my children are grown & live away from home, but they both have jobs & work hard everyday. After being hurt really bad last year my husband is still able to cowboy & is celebrating 28 years of being self employed as day worker. Hard work but he loves it. Our horse business is going strong. We have some new young studs & I think our babies are better than ever. We had 20 foals this year & 15 of them are sold, we had one get hurt so we will keep her, she was my pick away. After several years of drought we have had lots of good rain. My life couldn't be better. The grass is green, the foals are growing, I'm married to my hero, my children are the best & God is great. |

| Love this thread!
Let's see, we've finished tearing out and replacing the old fence at our house with RAMM Hotcote fence (love!), all new gates, and have hay in the barn that we don't have to feed yet because of all of the awesome rain we've gotten lately! I have an awesome job, a great SO that works his arse off, and my horse that couldn't seem to get out of the 3D, has been in the 1D the last 4 times we've ran! I'm so thankful every day to even have my horses, but for them to work their tails off for me, it's just awesome! |
