It's Been Awhile

Like most folks that I have been following along on Blogger since I started here, I also took a break from regular posts. It's been incredibly hard to keep up with all the things that has been going on and suddenly slow traffic here has made it tough for me to motivate myself to carve out time for super in-depth posts. However I do miss writing and I have enjoyed re-reading my own posts to remember and celebrate how much has happened to me since I started blogging and documenting my horseback adventures. 

Quest is thriving. We moved barns exactly a year ago and she has settled well in her stall in the evenings and actually lays down for naps too. This was unheard of when I first got her nearly 8 years ago. This past summer, she obliged little guy C in his first ever solo pony ride and was an absolute saint (as was expected). With the WMA in full blown hunting season mode, we're not really doing much trails nowadays and this is the one big downside with this barn unfortunately I've noticed. I'm thinking of seriously looking into other boarding options with better access to safer trails. 

Always asking for cookies.

Baby C is...no longer a baby! He's turning 2 in a month and has the attitude to show for it. He's got opinions and ideas of his own, but is such a joy and so much fun to have around. He still loves animals (especially dogs and horses!) and is very independent and brave. We started him in full time daycare this month and he loves it. He adjusted within days and enjoys the new weekly routine. I've been able to get more work done during my wfh days which is very nice. As for other family stuff, we have a big update coming soon but that will have to wait until a later post!
