Rain, rain and more rain....

It has seemed that NC has moved into the tropical rainforest zone. We at one point had 15 days of rain in a row. Battling the mud, trying to get in hay and taking care of the horses has been an ongoing job.

RJ has had a busy spring and both of the mares he has bred are safely in foal.

Speckles is an arab cross that is owned by Danny Herlong. He wanted to incorporate some standardbred blood into his endurance breeding program. This should be a very athletic foal.

Shezakeeper, aka "Honey" is also in foal to him. She is registered RHBAA and SSHBEA. She is actually descended from two mares that I bred long ago. I'm excited to see the result of my breeding program. She will be heading to CA with her owner this fall so unfortunately I will not get to see the foal in person.

RJ's first born, Windjammer's Rhythm, aka "Charli" is growing by leaps and bounds. We are very proud of this filly.

 
I'm looking forward to heading to Ride Between the Rivers in Ellamore, WV with my friends Tim and Lara. I'll be riding one of their geldings. I can't wait to get there and ride some new trails!
