      My mom came to visit this weekend. Cory and I took her to the Jacksonville Zoo to see all of the renovations and new attractions.  

     After the zoo, we went to some friends' house to swim and eat.

     I had orignally posted several pictures from our visit to the zoo.  However, the computer locked up twice.  Therefore, HERE are the rest of the pics.

     Wow, Erik and I have been married 10 years today.  I can't believe how fast time flies.  Next month we'll have been together 13 years.  It's amazing that we haven't killed each other yet. 

Izzy, Little Joe, & HPAF

     When Izzy was rescued by Morgan Silver at Horse Protection Association of Florida, she had a colt at her side. They named him Little Joe.

     Unfortunately, Little Joe is still searching for a home. Morgan recently found out that his father was a well known ,1300#, foundation Palomino QH (that died). They don't have pics of the father yet, but as soon as they do, I will post them.

     Here is a picture of Little Joe at 17 months.

    I am hoping by posting this that we can place Little Joe. I really wish that I had more $$$ and land. I'd bring him home for sure. If he's anything like his momma, he's going to be something special.

     Please contact Morgan at HPAF if you are interested in him or any of the other amazing horses she has available.

     Erik rode Izzy for the second time today. It wouldn't be such a big deal except it was on the TRAILS. He had planned on riding her at home several times before this, but unfortunately something always came up. So today, he rolled the dice and went for it.

     We met several firends at the Live Oak entrance of Jennings Forest. Everyone was very excited to see Erik and Izzy on their first trail ride. We decided it would be best to for us to be near the front since that's where I'd normally pony her at. Much to my surprise, Izzy opted to take the lead.

     Izzy's confidence did not last long. A deer or two startled her when they went leaping thru the woods right in front of her. She graciously let Linc take the lead after that.

     KD on Stylin

     Cathy on Busta

     Linelle on Poca

     Susan on Apache

     Tracey on Tucker

     Mike on Rusty

     Erik on Izzy; Chele on Dawn

     Izzy and Rusty say "Hi" while we rest at the picnic tables.

     Izzy and Erik did really, really well. The bugs were awful up front, poor Izzy is so sensitive to them. She kicked at her belly most of the ride, but she never did offer to buck (unlike Busta, who LOL was throwing mini hissy fits throughout the entire ride). Linc and I tried to help by leading them through the brush, on and off of the trails. This at least gave her some relief for a few minutes.

     All in all, it was a fabulous day. We rode around 3+ hours. Izzy had a few episodes, but there were no land purchases. You can't ask for much more than that.

     HERE are the rest of the pics.

Cory's first day of 2nd grade

Notice the bangs... Cory decided to give herself a haircut the other day. Of course, Mom had to fix it. Argh! I could have hurt her.

     This morning I met up with some friends at Cary State Forest.  I took Rocky and Izzy.  I wanted to get a few fresh trail miles on Izzy before Erik takes her on her first big girl ride.

     Heading out.

     Rocky was in the mood to do his Mustang Shuffle, so I spent most of the ride way ahead of everyone else.

     It did give me several opportunities to take pictures.

     I just love this mule.

     Here we are waiting for everyone to catch up.
