Halloween Horses

For this Halloween Valerie and I decided to enter a Halloween picture contest for one of the morning shows. They were giving away a 7 night cruise to the Carribean. But we didn't want to dress ourselves up. We dressed our horses up in costumes. Ziggy was a hippy, we called him Ziggy Marley, Taito was a Ballerina, and Spark was a bumble bee, she was not really very cooperative so her costume started to fall apart. But we thought they looked pretty cute. Unfortunately we didn't win but we sure had fun doing it, I don't think the horses liked it but we sure did!!

What I've been up to...

So it's been a while since I have done a blog. My camera broke and it has been a crazy summer. I moved back to my parents house in Utah with my boyfriend Gavin. All summer long we looked for jobs and I finally found one at Carriage for Hire. So I drive the carriages in downtown. It's a very fun job, I love it. But Gavin was having a hard time finding enough work so he moved back to Colorado. I have been helping Valerie, my sister, with her new horse Ziggy. I moved down here to help her learn more about horses and how to work with them. We have been having lots of fun riding horses, especially now that they are at her house! And Maddie sure does like having the horses in her backyard too. Spark after a trail ride, she was dirty:)
Jerry, one of the carriage horses!!

I went hunting in September with my dad and it was the first time I was the one hunting with a weapon and not just with a camera. Three days into the hunt I had a good shot on a nice spike bull elk. When we were packing him out and got back to our 4-wheelers there was 2 puppies waiting for us to find them. Unfortunately one of the puppies had a broken jaw and was so skinny that he could barely stand. We ended up having to put him down, but we were able to save his sister. She is a little border collie pup and she is adorable. We named her Daisy. When we found her she was very skinny, and just about frozen. It had snowed 4 inches the night before and I don't know how they survived the night. After two weeks of living with us she had gained 12 pounds and was a normal. happy, playful puppy. We love her very much!!
