Downtown Tuesday Nights

Downtown Tuesday Nights in Roseville is in full swing. This year there have been lots of new vendors join us and it makes for a fun and exciting night out!! The weather has been and continues to be great as the breeze always picks up by 6pm and cools the whole area down. In addition to the pony rides for the kids there is the bounce houses and a new train ride this year... Great fun for all!!

Add this to the cost of business!!

Little bit a EWWWW factor here today. Last Friday evening we caught Gawain to take him to an event, only to find an ugly hard bump on his chin. After a thorough inspection by us to make sure it was not life threatening or contagious, we made sure he could still eat and drink...we let him back out in the pasture (Why do the kids always get sick on the weekend?!).

I had a hunch it was just an abscess as Gawain is a very playful pony and plays very rough with Apache. I was very sure Gawain had gotten kicked in the chin just right to cause all of this. In order to drain it, it was going to have to be "ready" any way....so he gets the weekend off!!

Monday we took Gawain to our favorite Vet. He confirmed my suspicions and went to the task of taking care of the sweet boy. Gwain was drugged, the abscess drained, antibiotics counted and bottled and the payment on the vets office was paid (LOL) (think about the bill you get when you take your little doggie in and make it pony size).

Now Gawain gets 2 weeks off (with pay) and we get the lucky task of cleaning out the "hole" and administering the pills (7 and a half pills 2x daily). OH well!! such is life on the ranch...and one of the reasons we have so many ponies.

Olive and Chex

At events it is hard not to take a million pictures of our animals...much how we feel about our kids. Here is one of our favorite ponies and our sweet mascot Olive at an event. We never could have found a better little mascot than Olive as she loves pony rides and being out in the public! For her tiny size she is brave around the ponies without being silly. Several times we have had a timid child at an event and Olive has helped them feel brave enough to ride the ponies.

"Ponydometer" reading: 6 12/100 miles!!

We recently purchased a pedometer... just for the fun of it, so we could answer people when they ask us how far the ponies have gone.

This is Memorial weekend and that officially kicks off the summer. SO our first big event of the season comes in at 6+ miles on the pony and handler in one event!!

SO for this weekend...Thank a Veteran and watch for our "ponydometer" readings in the future.

Thankyou Katie, come see us again!!

Last weekend we were at Fry's. One of the sweet little ones that kept coming back for rides was "Katie" . Katie went home and came back just to give us this drawing.

Thank you Katie, I love all of the details in this picture, the logo's on our shirts, the fact that my kids are there with me.... and you on the pony!! Thank you Katie!!
