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.

Great Rides!

The last few days have been very productive.  Even though my knee surgery is looming, Will and I have had some triumphant rides.  He now consistently stays at the trot, and only on occasion pins the ears and hops or bucks lol.   Last night we rode the whole arena, big figure 8's, and then went to the Big Circle, Little Circle exercise.  After that, we went back to figur 8's and did a stop and go excercise to keep him from stopping all on the forehand.  He did exellent! 

After the good rides he is so funny!  He gets all lovey dovey and docile, as if he were saying, "Didnt I do good mom?  Im such a good boy, huh?"
