Ok, I apologize for not writing anything for 2 months. Its not that life at Stony Bridge is uneventful, its that I would rather "play" outside with the horses than sit in front of a computer. Just to catch-up I will briefly list some of the high points of the past 2 months. After Marks move to NY with 5 horses, it was so quiet around here that I actually was able to find time to trail ride. Having 4 horses is easy compared to 10-remember, Zanita is still in Saratoga Springs, NY with my sister Emma. I've also participated in a horse show and parade,riding Fancy. Sage came out of retirement for the lead-line class in the show, and my grandson, Ryan rode her in the parade. Tom and I had been trail riding every week, and sometimes twice. At first it was Fancy and C'est Bon, then poor Fancy got an abscess in her hoof so Alcott took her place. One of the nice things about living in Oakham is that most of the town is state owned land, or Quabbin Reservoir watershed land, so there are endless miles of trails within a few minutes of the farm. One of the highlights of the summer was that Jen bought a new horse. Bianco Appeal aka: Bam, is a registered OTTB, with an amazing past racing career. He is a very handsome boy, and he and Jen have already won several ribbons at the local horse shows. The above photo is of Jen and her new "love", Bam.
