Every barn needs good barn cats. Miss Penelope is the original cat of our barn. She was here before we bought it. She is my favorite and loves people. In the summer she likes to be in the hay bales. When I teach lessons outside she will run up to me in the arena and the likes to lay by me while I teach.

Now that we are in fall, my schedule has become a bit lighter. Ritz really enjoys getting to spend more time with me. In October, he will go to the vet to get x-rays to see where he is with his growing and if he can be ridden more. He is officially taller than Ghazi and still has growing to do I think.

Teddy has finally made the jump to being a lesson horse. We have had him two years and have slowly been bringing him along to prepare him well to be a lesson horse. It was very rewarding watching a child ride him. So far he seems to be enjoying it.

Maintaining lesson horses can sometimes be a challenge. This summer our youngest lesson horse Teddy has been having intermittent lameness. After extensive x-rays and vetting we have a plan for him of some special shoes and possibly injections. We have started with shoes and so far he seems more comfortable. Now the trick is to get the shoes to stay on his feet.

Last weekend, we went to our last show of the season at Lake Elmo, MN. The horses had a great last outing. We had never been to the show before so we didn't know what to expect. There was a dog show and a flea market happening at the same time as the horse show, so there was a lot going on. The horses took it all in stride and did very well with everything going on. It is so nice to see how well the young horses have matured this year with showing. Ghazi won his second level division on Saturday against some stiff competition. Each day, the horses improved their scores from the previous tests by 3 or more points. I am very proud of how they all did. With 3 rings going on and horses in all levels, mom and I had to be very organized to keep everything straight and going smoothly. Now we turn our attention to fall homework!

I was able to head to Bismark a couple weeks ago to attend an Amy Miller clinic. She is from California and still actively competes on the dressage and arabian circuit. We have had the privilege of attending clinics from her in the past and absolutely love her. She is able to pick things out very quickly that need work and help identify issues you didn't even know where there. It was great to have her help me with the three competition horses before our last show of the season. One of the horses Amy hadn't seen for a while and she couldn't believe how grown up he was now. Thanks to our friends at Prairie Rose Training Center Dressage for putting on a wonderful clinic. We can't wait for the fall one!
