Rolex Here We Come!

I'm so excited! We leave tomorrow for Rolex!! :D I had to work all day so I'm still washing laundry and packing lol. I hope I can get it all done soon because we're leaving before dawn. Eek!

For everyone who is going, if I haven't been in touch with you on Facebook or by email can you please email me your contact information so I can let you know where we're all meeting up, when we figure out where that is?? Pretty please! My email is myfarmerlife @ gmail . com with no spaces obviously. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and watching awesome cross country and having a blast!

P.S. I'm taking the GoPro (waterproof yay because 90% chance of rain) and two cameras so I hope I can get lots of pictures (not sure how well they will turn out in the rain, but I'll try!)!

Name: Led Zeppelin
Nicknames: Zep
Sire: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Color: Gray (what do you call the donkey color??)

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
