Need Help!

Ok, I finally have narrowed Yager's show name down to 2 choices! I need you all to help with this..... (this has been so hard with so MANY good choices) but these are the 2 that just seem to stick.

Thirty Days

or

Zion

Thoughts?


Prayers would be appreciated as the weather breaks and I start working with Yager more (probably a couple of months). He is boss in the field and is starting back into some bad habits on the ground. With me at the other barn so much and not in the home barn much, he is getting a little bossy with everyone, Terry and I included. He is in for a big surprise in the next couple of months. Hopefully, I'm not the one in for the big surprise! :)

It is amazing how each one of our horses & dogs have their own personalities. Wally is the stud (he is at his spring home where he is having fun breeding mares) he normally has a super sweet temperment, but wants people to think he's a big bad stud! Will is my boy! He has really blossomed into a gentle soul with a slight edge to him! Libby is our 3 year old filly who is the sweetest horse anyone would ever want to meet! What a doll! She will leave the herd in the field just to come visit with you! Jack is our Bubba and just 2 years old! (thanks for the reference Jacque!) He is super sweet but just a little dense. As long as he is treated well and fed, he is a happy boy! I could continue on with each one, but I'm sure you all get the picture.

What a blessing each and every one of our animals are to us! The task that God has blessed us with in caring for them is at times taxing, but oh so worth it, when one of the dogs does something silly or just lays next to you and nuzzles in for some cuddle time. Or when one of the horses comes up and blows on your face to say hi!

In the past few days, after Kit's loss, I have been thinking of Lucky my old TB that I evented before meeting Terry who I unexpectedly lost 7/7/99. It's amazing how it can still hurt after almost 10 years. He was my Bubby (my nickname for him). He was gorgeous, copper red (million dollar red as one lady called him) and he would do anything for me. Not much for anyone else, but anything for me! He and Terry had a love hate relationship. They both loved to hate the other one! :) Years ago I had written a story for a contest about how I came to get Lucky from his point of view. I may try to dig that out and share it sometime, but I know when I read it again I will probably cry!

Ok, time to sign off for now, before I get to caught up in all of this. Sorry for all the rambling, but that is just how I am right now. Can't seem to keep things straight, as you can all tell by these past couple of posts!

vote: THIRTY DAYS

I just think this is a great name and will be a great conversation starter at the shows.
