This year's plans include MORE RIDING.  I figure, if I keep on telling everyone that I'm going to ride, it will come true for me as well!  I have horses to ride and the chores are going to have to wait.  I say that now and I will be pretty good for a while.  BUT, I'm sure the fencing isn't going to get done by itself and I was thinking about a barn this year as well.  But, I will ride as much as I can.

We have a stud in the mix this year and I already see that he has love on his mind.  I'm not sure that's what it's called, but it sure is something!  The fences are going to be electrified; I'm going to keep at least one mare with him all the time.  He is just three but we are confident that he will do the job.

I read alot this past winter and I have alot of things to try out come warmer weather.  That's just around the corner and I'm looking forward to it.

We joined the Chippewa Valley Trail Riders club this year.  We're looking forward to going on some rides.  It sounds like some real nice people are in this club.  Hope to strike up some new friends, and some new places to ride.  I have been looking over the schedule for some of the big trainers.  They DO make it to WIS but you have to check out the dates.  Seems like I'm working every time there is a clinic!  It's a pretty good idea to try and make at least one each year.

If anyone has some news they would like to pass on just let us know and we will add it to our site.

So, 'till then,

Stay Straight in the Saddle,

Mike
