Happy New Year!!! Plus good news!

Not his most flattering angle.... but I'm glad hubby got it for me lol.

Happy New Year!!!! I got the best news ever yesterday (or the day before, I don't even remember)! Chrome is healing up great from his tendon injury and I can start riding him again! Obviously it will be walk only for a while, but it's progress (and so much better than hand walking...). So I'm starting the new year off much, much better than last year did. I was going to ride today, but ended up having to go into town to help a friend... and it's going to be pouring rain all day tomorrow... but hey at least I can ride whenever the weather cooperates! :D

Chrome was jealous because Jasper got to be in the yard to eat his feed.

I hope you all have an awesome, happy and healthy New Year!!!!!!!! I'll decide if I want to do a goals post later, but I doubt I'll do a recap one since things were so quiet with the injury. I have my fingers crossed that this year will be full of fun instead of fear... I ate my lucky black eyed peas so maybe that will help hehe. ;)

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.
