It's Been How Long??!!!!

OK, so I haven't written anything in a while - changing jobs will do that to you. But I'm happy to report that Art and I are doing great! I found a really great job with a law firm in town - I'm back to being a legal assistant and I love it! But it really keeps me busy - too busy to blog all the time.

Art is doing fantastic. He went to the trainers for 30 days and got a headset. I now have him going all Hunt Seat, all the time. So much for the western clothes I bought at the beginning of the year. LOL! Art is progressing as well as you can expect any two year to - he has good days and bad days - good weeks and bad weeks. One month he was just lousy, but he has flashes of brillence that keeps me hopeful of our destination goals (hint: it's the title of my blog ;) He could still use about a hand worth of growth in order to really look like a HUS horse, in my opinion, but everyone else seems to think he is growing just fine.

On another positive note, I am still working on getting his AQHA papers and am down to two horses - his dam and granddam. Now if I could find the time to contact the breeder for signatures, we'd be all set to show QH next year. Yay!

We have an open show this weekend that I would like to try to get him showed (shown?) at. We went to one last month and he was a bit, um, unsettled to ride in the english saddle, so we just walked around. This time we're hauling him over by himself (we finally bought a trailer - yay!!) and I'm going to get him there in plenty of time to wear him out a bit for walk/trot.

Wish us luck!
