Hi Sara


This is Denise, a good friend of ours who rides Badger too. As you can see in this picture something or someone has caught the attention of everyone. Well, let me tell you....... Bob just dropped Sara off at the barn (I was already there) and as she got closer, she said "hi guys" and Badger stopped in his tracks, turned his head and was very happy to see his owner - (who by the way gives him way too many treats). That is surely a horse who loves his owner.

Time to work


This is Sara on her comeback after taking a really bad spill on Badger. She was not able to ride him for a full week because of the injury to her back. I knew she was hurt badly when she didn't complain about not riding or doing P.E. at school for a week. Anyway, as you can see she is back to full strength and going "all out" She is gearing up to take Badger to his first show March 8th. It is just a fun show, no pressure at all. This will be a test to see how he performs in a competition ring. We will keep you all posted.

Nemo


Badger is on the right and Bodie (his pasture mate) is on the left. They decided that they were going to give Nemo the pig a run for her money. This was the first day that Badger and Bodie spent at their new stables. Nemo wanted to play, but Badger and Bodie had not seen a pig before. I don't think they were too impressed. Nemo was quick on her feet for a pig. She out ran both of them! No wonder Badger wasn't a big winner on the race circuit!

Sara & Badger


Here he is... "Badger" This is a good picture of Sara and her horse. She is so proud to be a horse owner. She has bought all of her own tack, blankets, etc. She is babysitting to earn extra money to pay her bills. Believe me, they are endless! I have to say though, she has taken on this responsibility and is doing a great job. I am very proud of her.
