QUICKIE- OUR RESCUE HORSE

Well the other morning memo and I decided to go see the auction down in Chandler to see about a saddle.... bad move on our part. First off, I won't name the auction because it was a HORRIBLE place. The people running it were downright nasty to the animals. Don't get me wrong I do understand that not everyone treats their animals as we do BUT they don't need to be mean to them either.

We were over there and ended up staying with for the horses... somehow or another my hand ended up raising with my numbe rin it and I found myself the new owner of a 6 year old registered Quarter horse. Quickie is his name and he has great breeding up both sides. He was found in a repossesed home. The owners had left and left him behind. He is skinny and not very trusting but he's coming around.

Memo went home to get the trailer and I called him to say "bring a second halter" yep my hand found the air again and I bought a Burro. In my defence we only paid $10.00 for him!!!!

we named him Chimichanga.

LADIES RIDE TO THE GHOST TOWN

Well it's been a couple weeks ago, but we had a FABULOUS ladies ride up to Mammoth http://www.goldfieldghosttown.com/ the other weekend. A group of us GIRLS ONLY took the trip up to enjoy a burger on the deck and enjoy the great music and good burgers. We had a great time and our newest boarders all got to meet and greet.






Here is our oldest cowgirl- 96 years old! My Nanny!!!















Everyone enjoying their burgers!

CARLITA'S 3RD BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLITA!!!!

This past Saturday the 21st we had a fabulous party rental in the town. This was for the 3rd borthday of Carlita! The kids all had a blast playing games, riding the pony and just generally being kids!!

Here they are playing the baloon game. They have to try and pop the balloon off of everyone's foot without letting anyone pop theirs. It was a blast watching the little ones chasing each other. Some even tried to pop their own at first!!

This is the quick draw contest. They have to squirt out the flame the fastest. Funny part was they all ended up on top of the flame by the time they squirted it out. (even though we started them behind a line) This game seemed to be a favorite!!

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS-WEEEEEEE

Mom, Memo and I got to sneak away to LA for a few days. We took Nanny over to spend a few days with Aunt Karen and Uncle Bill- It turned into a great couple of days. Not only was it great to see our cousins and family, but we had the chance to spend the day at Universal Studios. It was a BLAST!!!

HORSE SHOW

So while Memo and Alonso played in Nogales my Mom and I went to the Scottsdale Arabian Show http://www.scottsdaleshow.com/ . This show in a phenominal horse show that brings the best animals from all over the world. I am not an Arab fan but you can't help but marvel at their beauty! Here are just a few pics from it. It was fun because we saw a lot of our boarders and friends there as well.

Fun with the Family!

This weekend was a travel weekend for the horses. Memo and Alonso took Mark and Zowie down to Nogales Arizona for our niece's birthday. They had a great time and people that NEVER ride horses actually got up on them. They all got to spend the night and had a BLAST!
