Charlotte & Joey shortly after Joey FINALLY learned what giving to the bit actually meant!! Photo taken at Todd Elliott's farm in Bloomsburg, 2002.
Charlotte & Brat jumping a crossrail. Brat was still fairly new to jumping at this point, and the sandring was really dusty, hence the blurriness of the photo. Picture was taken at Sandheide Farm in 2004.

There was a minor *incident* involving the zoom-boom and a load of stone.......WHOOPS July 2005.
Charlotte by the first stall built in the barn. July 2005.
Brat has a blast when he gets to play around loose in the sand ring. From the head-on shot, looks like fatty brat could stand to shed a few hundred pounds!! winter fat!
Apparently Joey LIKES jumping! And here i was thinking that his sloppy form & uneven hanging front legs were caused from my riding! Guess not, that makes ME feel better!!
Here are a few somewhat embarrassing flashback photos of Charlotte:
Charlotte, age 9, at her first horse show at Humber College with her favourite horse from riding lessons, George.
Arent those knee high red cowboy boots OH SO stunning??!!!!
Charlotte at age 12 with her first TRUE LOVE, Rusty.

Blaze, posing for the picture by sticking out his tongue!
Brat apparently didn't think Blaze should stick his tongue out at the camera, or was jealous that he wasn't in the shot, at any rate he decided to poke Blaze with his nose
Spring, having a quiet moment in the spring sunshine
Spring, watching the dogs by the barn
Can you guess where the white horse lays down??
First day out on pasture, the horses don't know whether to run or eat!!!
Spring decides *enough running, time to EAT!!!*
Doc was thoroughly enjoying a chance to stretch his legs
BUM SHOT!!!!
"And what do you think you're looking at?"
Blizz gnawing on a LOVELY piece of what was once a deer. MY what big teeth he has!

A robin built a nest just under the deck in early July and two babies were hatched!
