New year, new possibilities!

Happy New Year!

Hopefully this year will be kinder than last! We suffered an abnormal amount of injuries on the horses and even had to say goodbye to a dear old friend in Avenir.
Avenir
He was one of the nicest and most personable individuals we've had around here and he will sorely be missed.

Ritzy's Dreams injury resulted in her advancing to the broodmare ranks and is expecting from S.J.'s Caviar late April.
Kick The Cat
Kick The Cat is rounding into form again after her tendon issue but there's work to be done in the head department on that one. One of the cowiest and most talented horses I've rode but she can be a handful at times. La Flor del Viento is awaiting another checkup to see if her hip/knee joints are fully developed. We had an issue with her sister that resulted in her being put down last fall and it might've been genetic they say. So before breeding her that needs to be resolved.

Ida & Furix
Idas pony Furix Five has been limping too as of late. He's better again and Ida is taking him for walks every other day. He should be fine in a week or two.



Hagar (Gunnen Olena)
Gunnen Olena is recuperating from his severe tendon tear at Todd & Julies in Idaho. So far so good, he was on his first post surgery checkup yesterday and it still looks hopeful!


SDP Fourina C
Yearling filly SDP Fourina C is cold and frozen along with the rest of Texas but is doing just fine by the reports.

Abilene Spectacular kicks of tomorrow and most of the top ponies from last months Futurity is entered, should be a great cutting! Futurity Champ Dual Smart Kitty will need another solid outing to keep the others at bay. Great horses with Futurity 3rd Johnny Reyngo and 4th Boon San Baby, 5-6th MK Smooth Runnin Cat and Smart Time Pepto 10 leading the chase. We'll also see how last years smaller futurity horses stack up with the big boys with the likes of CR Too Catty and VR Cowgirl Kaki, gonna be exciting no doubt!

Will post more often on here from now on, promise!
