I went out to the barn and groomed and rode. My BO rode with me and we had a nice 45 minutes with our boys.
2011 is shaping up well for both of us as we are both going to the clinic in NJ in May AND also to the World Championships in October.
Now, I have to get ready for my fun day on Friday. That's ok, sooner rather than later that's my thinking. Lots to do to start getting ready for an exciting 2011.
Red Turf Ranch Tack will be well represented at the clinic and the Worlds as my BO has some nice pieces of Gails work also. It is an honor for our horses to wear her creations.
Hope you all had a good weekend also.

News
Well, we didn't make the trail ride and while I was a bit upset in the morning by noon I was kind of glad we didn't go. The weather was not all that nice.
BUT, There is news on the 2011 front.
We are going to NJ, actually to the Horse Park early in May for aBarrel Clinic. We will be riding with Sharon Camarillo. We did a clinic with her a few years ago and I am so looking forward to riding with her again.
And, OH YEAH, ther will be only ONE Standardbred in attendance, unless somebody from that area decides to attend.
You can come audit for 35.00 a day I do believe. Sharon does not teach barrel racing she teaches HORSEMANSHIP!!!! And she is vry vry good at what she does.
So, Duncan's dance card is starting to fill up a bit. I'm excited.
Now, all I have to do is get through the 19th and the healing time after that date and we will be ready to get into the Gym to start on me.

One Last Trail Ride for 2010
Tomorrow morning my Barn Owner and a couple of other friends are going to Goddard Park, here in RI for a trail ride.
This will be my last outing for several months as on the 19th I go into the hospital for surgery to remove the left side of my Thyroid.
All that means is Duncan's winter vacation is starting about a month early, but that's ok, I can still go spend time with him when I am feeling better. this is not a fun operation but we will get it done and get me over it so I will be ready for next year.
Goddard Park is one of my favorite places to ride, the trails are wide and the footing is great the scenery is spectacular along the bluffs above Narragansett Bay, just special and it's like 20 minutes from the barn.
I'll post tomorrow and let you all know how it went.
