A Day At The Barn!

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

While on vacation in Texas, what else woud you expect me to do?

Horses are naturally part of the activities, and I love it! I rode when I was younger, and now I get to warm up my niece's horse, Cooper. He's a fabulous Hunter-Jumper, and we just returned from a day at a show, at their "home" barn, where everyone had a great day.

We had the usual suspects: Horseguy, Horseguy's wife, the kids, and we had a blast giving encouragement from the bleachers. Respectfully, of course!

Some great trips around the ring, especially the Power & Speed rounds, where the riders who do a clean round (no faults, meaning no dropped poles) go on to an immediate jump off, which is a DIFFERENT course than the one they just jumped.

Here is a picture of Cooper, demanding his post-ride Gatorade:

Hi Carol,

You got me with your title.  We had horses for years and I really enjoyed spending days at the barn. To this day I love the smell of manure!!! (can't believe I'm admitting that)  Good looking horse in your picture!

I love horses too, I love riding by the farms and seeing them in the fields with their tales swishing.  Is Cooper camera shy?

Cindy - Thanks! I love the smell of a barn too.

Karol - Some horses LOVE Gatorade!  Cooper is used to getting his after his workouts, but he demands it by striking his hooves on the ground.

Rob - Thanks, he is a handsome boy, isn' t it?

Rene - He's not camera shy or shy AT ALL!

Roy - Thanks! Still have a few more days here to enjoy.
