I came home from the barn and felt like I was walking on cloud nine. I was actually pumped. ALL of the riders and the horses worked out of this world today. Add to that, we have a GREAT bunch of customers that are happy and that makes for one happy trainer. Jason spent a [...]
Well, here is to another Saturday come and gone. As usual, our crew just cranks out the work and the result is we give a ton of lessons and get all of the horses worked. I was VERY pleased with all of my riders and all of the horses, even though we are not [...]
I am not sure but I think we have about 20 inches of snow, at least that is what the weatherman said today. All day we went between blue skies then an hour later dark skies and heavy snow, then back to blue skies. The whole weather system reminded me of lather, rinse, repeat,lather, rinse, [...]
Well, so far the weathermen are right; a lot of snow today and more to come. I am from the Midwest, and not only I am from the Midwest, I am from the Chicago/ Milwaukee area. If there is one thing I can say about that area is they know how to deal with snow. [...]
Tuesday is always my catch- up day, and today was no different. Returning phone calls, getting meds in order….. and you get the gist. Jason was in the barn and I was glad to have him back. Our horses worked well. The rescues were brought in one by one and each horse worked well. Anne [...]

FAB BOO LUS is how I would describe today’s open house. Everyone worked hard, had fun and performed GREAT! It was a proud day for North Wind, and not only did everyone have fun, the wonderful people at our open house raised around $600 for Saddlebred Rescue. If all of this was not enough, Landi Gates and [...]
We have everything ready to go for the open house and there were only a few changes AFTER we were finished. Tomorrow morning will be a little hectic but it is nothing my guys cannot handle. Thank goodness for Drew, as I asked him to burn a CD for the music, which he did, BUT he [...]
Boy there is nothing more fun than taking a million small strips of paper and trying to make a show schedule out of it! I have a class put on each strip and then try and figure out first what day it should be on and last where in the order it should go. It is hard [...]
I am typing this instead of watching my Tivoed American Idol. I normally love American Idol but these last two shows were a letdown for me, as it is more about the drama and less about their last singing chance to make the top 24. I will be ready for the regular show to start. [...]
