A bit sad...

Today I am heading out to visit my girls. I'm a bit melancholy over leaving them for a week or so. I have only been a few days away from the horses one time, back around Christmas. I was very sick and wasn't even able to get out of bed. I know that they are going to be well taken care of, but its just the thought of anything happening while I am not here. Our family will be moving back to Ocala on Friday. We should be in Ocala and unpacking the truck on Saturday. The following week is Spring Break for the kids. It will give us time to become acclimated to another home again. I plan on coming back up on Friday, staying over in Crestview and bringing the girls home on Saturday. It is a 6 hour drive one way. I am so excited to have a place of my own for my horses again. I also feel a little torn on my excitement though too. I am really going to miss Cheryl, Kerrie and Audrey too (on some days). :-) My goal is to continue to work with Miss Priss with the goal being completed by entering a Dressage show. My goal for Brownie is to encourage more trust and ultimate respect for me. She is very determined, but has a great heart. I am sure this will be a challenge, but in the end her companionship will be so worth it. Cherie is going to grow, grow and grow and be loved everyday by all of us. I want to make sure that Brownie and Cherie know that they have a forever home and will never, ever have their health or happiness compromised. Miss Priss has learned this now, she really is a great horse. I can't stand to go out to the barn knowing that I am not giving her the attention she was used to before Brownie came. The running joke is that Prissy is thinking "Good, its about time she found someone else to pester. I was beginning to think she was going to brush all of my hair out until I was bald." LOL I have to admit that my favorite part of owning her is grooming her. She is such a sweetie pie. My girls have all really brought a bright side to things lately for me. They are my escape, my freedom and my serenity.
