Games & Quiz Rally 23, 24, & 25


Popcorns first Pony Club Rally! Nina and Popcorn did real well. They were part of the Rainbow Racers team for Games. They won second place in Games & Horse Management, at the advanced division. At Quiz Nina was part of a Gulf Coast Gallopers Team & they got third place in the senior division

Brookwood Nursing Facility Oct 22


For our second year in a row we have gone up to Leaksville, MS to the Brookwood Manor Nursing Center for their annual Fall Festival. We go up with Cyndi, she takes her ponies and gives cart rides. We bring dogs of all sizes as well for the residents there at Brookwood Manor to pet and enjoy.


This year the rain would fall, then stop, rain again, then stop. The residents and staff were real troopers but the third time we decided to fold up or tents, load the horses & head on out.

We did the opportunity to visit with some of the residents and take several for a ride.


As always it is a joy to go.

Home School Fieldtrip Oct 20


Homeschool Visions went to Mobile to visit 5 Rivers Delta Resource Center . It was a beautiful place and we really enjoyed ourselves and the weather was perfect for our sack lunch.

We had a nice crowd, funny everytime we go somewhere with Visions there are always people there I have never seen before! We should wear name tags :)

Seward Farms Show Oct 17


Went to the Sewards Farms combined training show. Nina took Bacardi. They participated in Beginner Low which is 18" to 20" and Beginner Novice A Dressage test. They got first place which was thrilling. Bacardi only faluted at the first jump but flew like the breeze over the rest of the jumps. Good going Nina & Bacardi, you guys make a good team!

Lesson with Julie Smart


Nina went up to the Roberts place today for a lesson with Julie. Boy is it a hot one out today & Bacardi is acting up, not wanting to jump. Everyone has off days even horses! Patrick drove today. Rowan went came along. Hopefully they are not dying in the heat!

Last week Daphney rode up with us and had a lesson on a horse at the Robert's farm. Stormy, the horse, was having issues then & Daphney was bucked off. Like the trooper she is, Daphney hopped back on Stormy & the rest of the lesson was completed in saddle! ha
