Summer's Winding Down

I figured I'd post a plain old blog post for the day to day tag just because it's been awhile.

It's September already. I'll be 33 in seven days or something. I'm not as bothered about getting older this year as I have been in past years. Life is good.

My wife and I have settled into married life but we're still as silly around each other as we ever were. It's not the cold boring married life that people expect.

We've got our horse boarding business up and running. We're expecting 10 horses on the acreage by the fall with a constant flow of emails from people wanting to bring their horses. We've drawn the line at 10 horses this year including a young stud and a colt. We have two of our own horses as well.

Regal is Lynn's thoroughbred. He's come down with a bout of "cushings" and lost a lot of weight but he's getting better.

Raine's our newest quarter horse. She's settled in well though she's the only female on the pasture right now so I think she's really milking the attention. Lynn's been working on breaking her all summer. It's been a longish process since we're both working and setting up the horse boarding business.

However, I did manager to sit in the saddle yesterday without Raine throwing me off. She just looked back and saw it was me up there and went back to her oats. I figured that surely I'd get tossed off when the oats ran out like where were sand in an hour glass but I survived that too even though she did get little restless. Raine's got a long way to go before we're riding along the train tracks but she's getting there.
