My arena is "one" again...

My arena was fixed last Friday! They had to dig out a 8 x 15 section of my arena and pull out the gravel base and dug down 2 feet of dirt, and then they re-packed it with gravel. So it's seems to be fixed, I guess we'll know when it starts to rain again, if it's actually fixed or not!!! Ack! But one day at a time, and yesterday I rode lightly and it felt good.

In our never-ending project after project at the farm, we found ourselves at Lowe's yesterday purchasing supplies to set up a drip system for our orchard. I picked up another sprinkler and hose and that seemed to help with the arena watering last night. I now have 4 sprinklers going, but 6 would be ideal! :) We are waiting on our neighbor and landscape designer to get back to us with his master plan, which includes watering for the arena and landscaping, so until then, my sprinklers will have to do.

I'm taking Final to his new farrier appointment today. I will post with an update and pictures of his feet for comparison. Hopefully this will help him feel more comfortable and we can get back to the fun work we've been doing!

Bronze Medal

I'm proud to say that Final has helped me earn my Bronze Medal from USDF. My beloved Yochi got the scores we needed at First Level, and Final helped me get the scores needed at Second and Third Levels. I'm pretty proud of my boys! They've taught me so much.

Up next, Silver Medal.
