After Nemo's neuter I decided to just "chill" a bit and let he and I both relax some. It's taken a few weeks, but I've really noticed a big change in him since getting that testosterone out of his system. He's really mellowed out a bunch. I think this will carry over to training and REALLY help! I'm excited!!!
On a totally separate note, meet our newest family member:


This is "Colortown's Royal Knight of Armour" aka Knight! He's a sweet American Saddlebred gelding, only 2 and a half years old. I haven't had a horse since I was a teenager, so I am beyond thrilled! He's at horsey camp for the next couple of months to learn good manners since he is just a baby, and then he'll be boarded at a nice little place in Fairview, only 5 miles from my house. I think I'll be able to do anything I want with this guy. He'll be great for CEP, elegant enough for Dressage (he has that beautiful high Saddlebred head and carriage!), and great for trails. Marcus is looking for a horse of his own so he doesn't have to just sit and watch me, but he is a novice rider, so we want to make sure we get a sweetie pie for him.
Now that Nemo's back in action and we have horse news, look for more updates! I promise... :o)
