Deck your horse...

Hello! I had this cool idea for a Christmas card this year. A couple of days ago, I put it into action. My idea was to get my horse Trixie and my dog Sasha, put reindeer antlers on them and a Santa hat on me, and take some pictures. Simple right? Ha, not so much!

First, Trixie is terrified of the reindeer antlers.  Then she is scared of the Santa hat.  Then she is horrified by the reindeer antlers on US!  She must have thought we had been abducted by aliens! I had to stick my hand in the Santa hat like it was a glove, and start rubbing her down with it - to show her that it won't hurt her.





Finally, she finds out that it is not a dangerous horse eating monster. So I stood next to Trixie, put my hand in the Santa hat, and held it above her head to make it look like it was actually on her.  I told my mom to take the picture QUICK!  Guess what?  Trixie also doesn't like the flash! 



Aah! Bright light!

 Oh, and the hat decides not to cooperate, and falls off her head. So I set the hat on her ear and tell mom to take the shot. 

Get it off my ear!



Finally, I get some good pictures - but I can't show them to you yet! (evil laugh -mwahahahaha)

Trixie finds out that reindeer antlers aren't evil mind control claws!  Gasp!

 All in all, a very interesting experience.                                                  

Bored is not an option

If you have ever wondered what a homeschooler does when they're not doing school, or chores, or cooking, or...  well, something else, then you're in luck! Now, just to warn you I am not speaking for all homeschoolers but there are a couple like me.... So after school and lunch and any other things I need to do, free time! My  favorite things to do are horseback riding, hanging out with my horses, reading, drawing, creating things, painting, making forts, playing in them, swimming, and exploring.We have 50 acres of pasture and a creek. Our house is between the pasture and the creek. The creek is off to the side of the house and down a slope. Here are some pictures of me.

A horse of my own

On February 11, 2011, exactly 1 month and 1 day till my b-day,... MY DREAM CAME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!  [My dream being owning a horse, of course]. This was indeed my lifelong dream. Ever since I can remember I have loved horses. When I was 5ish I started taking lessons from my friend Turtle's older sister. Then we moved and my horse world screeched to a halt, but that doesn't mean my entire world did. I started going to a home school co-op and met Firefly [read her blog too] and we became fast friends. A couple of years later we started looking into a horse again. 1st horse [boy] was a definite no, 2nd horse was sold before we could buy her, and the 3rd horse [girl] was a super cute paint,  she was really sweet, slightly stubborn, and we got her! Her name is Trixie and she is a brown and white paint. This is her picture. We have had good and bad days, but I still love her! :-) Mustang
