Sunday

Couching up in the kitchen, looking out the window facing the "summer pasture" where the sun is trying to climb over the treetops. A beautiful morning, sun glistening and perfectly still outside. Just saw the eagles circling the bay, beautiful!

We´re probably in for some changes around here soon, can´t really disclose any details just yet, but maybee in a week or so.

The weather hasn´t exactly been cooperating as of late and the horses thus havn´t been worked as much as I had hoped. It´s thawing now and the snow´s turning to ice, making it pretty risky just walking up to the barn.

The horses all look good though, Cat maybee more so than the others, might be because she´s been through alot of adversity and I really havn´t had much hope for her. She´s turning in to one fine looking filly though and I´m pretty anxious for the snow to clear enough for us to really get down to business.

Rode Timber again yesterday ands he´s making slow but steady progress. He´ll probably be here for another two weeks or so before leaving for Gerd & Lars.

The Abilene Spectaculars Open divisions concluded last night with some pretty nifty runs.
Just got to watch the 5/6 year olds and there was several impressive runs, albeit none that really took your breath away. You find most of the favorites up there in the standings. I thought Third Cutting would walk away with this one again as he alway´s seem to, but Holly Is Smooth & Rascals Cat thought otherwise. They topped in the standings sharing the win with a 224. Boyd Rice and Third Cutting placed 5th with 221.5.

In the 4yo Desires Blue Trinity (Mecom Blue)& Chris Johnsrud kinda came out of nowhere to take the win with an impressive 225.5. Futurity Champ, One Time Royalty lost a cow and left the scene before time was up, after leading the event after two go arounds.
