I haven't ridden Nine again, though the weather might be well enough to try soon! I have let the horses run a lot. Me and Mother-in-Law spent some time chasing the horses the other day (otherwise they just stand around and look for food) and let me tell you - Nine doesn't run, he just floats! I can't wait to get some confidence and get up on that high horse, so to speak.
About that confidence; I have swallowed my pride and contacted a professional trainer, JC Cabrera. I have never met JC before, but I have seen posters around town advertising horsemanship clinics and such. I doubt if we can afford to have someone do all the work for us, but I asked JC if I couldn't do some work as an apprentice so I can learn to train Nine myself. He said that is a possibility and offered to come look at Nine! So that is big news to me, because that would pretty much be an awesome job.
Fiance got a great job as a Coconino County Detention Officer! After his first week of working the pay check was $500 after taxes! For just one week! So we might be able to afford some nice things coming up soon.

Hello Christina! Congratulations to Fiance with his new job! That is GREAT!!!
I can't wait to hear how JC is as a trainer...and the opportunity to apprentice is awesome! Have fun with that, learn lots, and share with us! Woo hoo!
Until later...Karen and Tripp
Thanks Karen! Fiance is really loving his job, so there's good news. I hope to get JC out here soon! The round pen has two broken poles that I'd like to get fixed, and I'd like to get the large corral/small pasture cleaned up before I get him out here though. That way he'll see the place at it's best :P
