With a grieving yet also peaceful heart, I need to let everyone know that the best horse in the world passed away yesterday morning. At the age of 38, Magnum left us and headed up to heaven. He had (most likely) been fighting a cancerous tumor in his jaw for over 8 months and the struggle is now over. He is the reason that Making Strides Equestrian even exists, my life in the equestrian world is all because of him. He was my partner in this adventure for 34 years.

Wow! I feel like such a slacker. 4 months to the day withOUT an update?? Oh my goodness, I think I'm getting old. Or maybe I just have been staying off the computer and I've been outside enjoying barn life. ;-)
Regardless, these last 4 months have been as awesome as always. March of course, brought Magnum & Winnie's birthdays, plus marked the anniversary of when I purchased Magnum, and also brings spring break/ spring season/ warm weather and the horses' spring vaccinations. In March, Martha came by for a couple of lessons as a birthday present, Madi picked up a couple of lessons after school, and Will came over to start in the lesson program.
In April, Haley joined our feeding team, Laura competed on Zeus in western classes at his very first show at the Kel-Mac show, Kemerson competed on Gizmo at the H/J Fox show & Addie competed in her very first horse show on Gizmo at the H/J Fox show, Maddie took Ben & Tara took Spencer on a trail ride at the state park, My mother's day gift came early (a new pony!) and we took a vacation to Las Vegas. Christi stopped in for a lesson during her spring break while she was visiting from Virgina,
In May, we basically just rode, and rode, and rode some more. Winnie took Gizmo, Shannon took Spencer, Tara took Ben, Maddie took Thunder, and Amber took Cheyenne on a trail ride at the state park. Then Gizmo left for summer camp and Maddie left for life after college.
June brought Emmalyn, Emily, Alex, Shelley, & Vanessa to the lesson program, Wendy, Thunder, Immy, & Fly all celebrated their birthdays, Tara rode Spencer & Haley rode Thunder in a poker ride at Shakerag, and Maddie stopped in for a surprise visit & took a bareback ride on Ben.
Hopefully I will get some pictures uploaded too. It's been great catching up!

Whoa! What happened to February? Why weren't there any updates? Oh, that's right, we were having too much fun enjoying the spring weather that we were always outside. Guess I'll need to write a long post later to discuss all the fun events we did last month.
As for today, Happy March!
This is the month of Magnum's birthday, and Winnie's birthday. My favorite month of the year!

Once again we have had our typical Georgia weather. 2 weeks ago we were threatened with some ice and snow, while all last week reached into the 70's. Today & tomorrow is calling for tons of rain and thunderstorms, followed by high's in the 50's next week. Our horses are confused about their hair coats, should they have a thick coat? should they be shedding?
