A homegrown heart is one that longs to sleep with the windows open. One that longs to smell the fresh cut fields, Ride in the afternoon - bareback, and barfoot. A homegrown heart likes to turn the music up, grow something, talk to God and wear boots, because they are better. These hearts go fishing, play with dogs and play with horses. Homegrown hearts give it their all, everytime. They are true to themselves, and true to those around them. They have deep roots. But more important, a homegrown heart LOVES WITH ALL ITS STRENGTH.

Good weekend...

Had a lot of fun this weekend.  I started out working with my boy and his social skills.  We brought some horses out to the arena and had them tied while I rode will.  It was a battle of "WIlls" so to speak, as he tried to become more herd bound.  He reared and bucked, but never got me off.  It was a good day really, got him more used to "different" things.
Then we took the broke horses out to the farm and rode on my own property.  It was so much fun!  I ended up losing my phone, and the next morning we retraced our steps and found it laying in the field down by the river. 
Then we started taking apart the trailer.  We tore off the window, the sheet metal, tore out the rotted wood, and got it ready for grinding and sand blasting.  Should be saveable, and it should be a decent trailer.  We are going to paint it John Deere green, with yellow trim, and we found an old tractor yield sign we are going to bolt onto the back door.  :)
Then we went out to a friend of a friends house who has a wild stallion, and I got him halter broke for them so they can try to actually do something with him.  :)  Fun Fun!
