Retired Show Jumper or Cow Horse?

With all this rain, no work to go to, and a slight case of cabin fever, I decided to download a few pictures taken on New Years day when Nick and I took Ron and Jori to visit Danny in his retirement home. Danny has been out at Endar for almost 7 months now and has seen his ups and downs. He has lost and gained over a hundred pounds, proudly displayed his battle scars, and become quite the furry, dirty pasture horse. But the bottom line is that he loves this life and deserves every minute of it.

I've recently started turning him out in the small arena to let him kick up his heals and role in the soft dirt. When I turned him out before, he always followed me, sometimes playing tag and sometimes wandering off to explore on his own. I thought once I moved him out to a retirement facility, he might slow down and act his age. Well, not exactly...

After he was done kicking up his heals, we played a game of tag. Is he a retired show jumper or cow horse...

I love my horse!!!

Happy 2010!

Life has been busy with the Henry's as we step foot into 2010. Nick is going strong at work mentoring employees and reaching new goals. I have been busy with 24 first graders (enough said!). The holidays were wonderful as we spent them with family and friends. Here are a few pictures to show what our life has been like the last few months...
