Seasons Greetings!

Another year has whizzed by, I can hardly believe it.  It seems like only a minute ago that we were moving into Balsam Hall. Where on earth does time go? It goes too fast wherever it goes.  After the Royal there were a LOT of clinics and lessons to be done.  Everyone wanting to enjoy the mild start to winter.  Trailers are still out on the roads and people shipping in and out for lessons, unusual for November and December.

Christmas was ‘busy’.  Selena and I did the barns (25 horses), then did stockings and presents.  After a quick tidy up so we could find the dogs under the wrapping paper, it was already time to go and do afternoon stables – as I said, time just whizzes by at this barn.  Christmas Dinner and recovery took from four o’clock to ten o’clock, then late night check and back to bed.

Now it’s already time to be organizing shipping papers, hay, travel arrangements for the nine or ten horses going to Ocala in the next two weeks. We have a fairly big contingent with only one free stall at the moment….anyone out there who would like their horse (with or without rider) to do a season in Ocala…it’s last call!  Selena has room for one more horse.

Selena and I would very much like to take this end of season opportunity to thank Selena’s sponsors.  We literally could not do this without you.  If you were not there for us, we would not be here at all and Selena would not be living her dream.  THANK YOU, all of you, for what you do, what you did, and what you plan.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
