Arthur and Pierce, just hanging out. I'm soooo proud of where this horse is now. |
I needed new turnouts for everyone to replace my crap used up ones. Smart Pak sale? Blankets in my colors? Heck yeah! |
As noted in an earlier post, I bought a new trailer for the horses and while I was yearning for something with living quarters, it wasn't terribly practical to do dogs in as well as horses and so I was stuck. Just like when I bought my current trailer. Ugh. So I reflected on what I actually use the trailer for the most and how to handle everything and decided to split the vehicles. I hate having more vehicles, but the price and usability was MUCH better so I bought a 2+1 horse trailer and a smallish travel trailer for doing family things and dog things in. Plus husband said if I had some epic horse show and needed BOTH trailers, he'd totally bring the RV one for me so I kinda get the best of everything but cheaply. :)
The travel trailer. |
April was the start of some crazy things spurred on by the Warwick Schiller clinic plus the realization that I could use my new money to finish out some old projects. So I'm going to send a dog out to be shown by a handler, hit some Barn Hunt events to work on my judging/showing/etc goals with that, and round out my horse supplies by getting things I need/want and upgrading things that should have been upgraded a while ago. I'm selling off the surplus or donating it for the write off. At least I'm doing something, plus its horse shopping and while I hate shopping in general, horse things aren't so bad.

"We've decided he's an Oldenberg, right?"
"Nope."
"Holsteiner then? What kind of warmblood, he HAS to be one since he moves so beautifully."
"Nope, he's a paint."
"Wait, what...?" *looks for spots "You mean Quarter Horse?"
"Nope, he's a paint ><"
I was gracious and thanked them and educated them as well. They were looking forward to him being ridden and I was like <> Me too.

Also the new trailer is completely epic for spending the weekend in. Dogs were in crates, horse had tons of room, hay had a place... ugh soooo nice!
