Rose has a new BFF!

Rose has become a real celebrity around here in Aiken. Everywhere she goes people fawn all over her and want to steal her away. She is making friends faster than I am at this point. She not only has humans swooning over her, but has also amassed a large canine following as well. While she has many new pals, no one can compare to her new BFF "Chloe", a cute little dog owned by Shannon Kinsley, Boyd Martin's head groom/farm manager/ do it all girl. These two (Rose and Chloe) are inseparable...they go everywhere together, including trail rides & trying to drive the golf cart....envision Rose on the seat, paws on the wheel, and Chloe on the floor trying to do something-you would have thought Rose was telling her to step on the gas! WHat a sight! They even shared Rose's bed one day when we were at the barn late getting ready for a horseshow. Its not to say that they have their share of "lovers tiffs" but they are quite the pair.

Everything else is going well. The weather has finally started feeling like SC...65 and sunny! Yippee! The horses are being good and Goodman finally had to get body clipped. His hairy legs were starting to embarrass him! (and me. :) ) I have done two XC schools with Z and had some other great lessons on the other horses. I cant believe there is only one more week. I must admit it is going to be really hard to leave this beautiful farm and good weather to return to the snowy north.

This week should be very fun with Silva coming back for lessons (cross your fingers I get to ride Goodman with her) and training sessions for the team at a farm nearby that I will hopefully get to watch. Until next time....
