The new Java horse definitely jumps cute! I will have to find a show that has pairs jumping for her and Tommy.

I put her in with Carma and Lily today. Least exciting mare addition ever. Carma looked at her, then showed her where the auto waterer is. Lily acted like she thought she knew her. No squealing whatsoever. Maybe this is why people like Paints and Quarter Horses.

Some new Hillside Rules for the new year:
1- Students who wish to buy new horses, must have the new horse approved by Karen or Natalie before it can come to Hillside. (and if anyone is thinking of buying a horse let me know...I am already looking for one for a client, it is easy enough to look for two!)
2- New horses must have at least two syllables in their name. The exception is mares...mares can have one syllable names as long as they are no more than 4 letters long, and include the letter "i". It just seems to be a pattern of success.

Rob says that if anyone wants to try the "natural riding" on Sunday, that he will set jumps no charge.

What can I say. He is a boy.
