Day 4 and 5 of the 100 day challenge

Snow is melting and it has been warming up! Hard to believe that January is almost over and February is almost here! On Monday, which is the first day of February, I will be moving Artax to a new boarding facility called Valley Chapel Farm. It's just a few miles south of Spokane in Valleyford. On day 4 of the 100 day challenge, I didn't have any pictures. I did ride though. Artax was was a little squirrelly that day. He hadn't been ridden in a couple of weeks and he didn't want to leave my friend's horse, whom he is somewhat herd bound to. I got off and did some groundwork to remind him who's boss and he was just fabulous once I got back on him. On Monday, which was day 6 of the challenge, Artax was just as chill as he always is and tried my endurance saddle on him. It fits him great and he looks amazing in it. I managed to get a couple pics of those. I am so excited about what the year has in store!

Day 3 of the 100 day challenge

Not much has been going on as far as horses. Weather has been too icky out to ride. The snow is starting to melt and the temperatures are getting warmer. I am participating in this 100 day challenge. It's where you post pictures of you doing things with your horse 100 days out of the year on this group called By Horseback on Facebook. You don't have to necessarily do it back to back each day. You can spread it out throughout the year. There's 365 days in a year and I manage to get some horse time in almost everyday, even during the cold season. I just went and gave Artax some loving. Here is my future father-in-law having a conversation with him, lol! 😆

Artax back in action


Well I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! Artax's wound is healing fabulously! It's a 3rd of the size it originally was. He's back in action for riding. I rode on New Years Eve and New Year's Day. I know that 2016 will have a lot in store for me including the upcoming shows at Spokane Sporthorse Farm in the spring. Artax will begin his new career as a hunter jumper. Here are some pics from my New Year's Eve
