Much Needed Rest!

Finally feeling better. The kids have been sick, I've been sick, it's been a long week or so. Maybe it has something to do with all of the snow we still have here in New Hampshire. At my house, the snow is still up over the top of the picnic table in our backyard!! This past weekend my husband tried to remove some snow from our top arena so we could work the horses at least a little, but the good ole John Deere met it's match! Another week or two off for them. We'll just have to really "kick it in gear" with training this year to get ready for our first shoot in May. I see some early mornings coming my way!
I finally ordered my Martin Shooting Saddle! I can't wait to try it out. I went with Chestnut/Roughout leather, Full Padded Seat (although you'd think Mother Nature already gave me "full padding"!), the new Desert Flower tooling with camouflage border, 2" bell bottom stirrups and Wyoming Flower Conchos. It will seem like a long 12 weeks while I'm waiting for my saddle to be made, however it will give me more time to anticipate and get even more excited for it's arrival. I have the order form hanging over my desk with "My Saddle" written in dark black letters. Visitors can't help but ask, one of the reasons it's hanging there. I love telling people about my saddle. So I'll be sure to post a picture when it arrives and give feedback on my first ride in my Martin Custom Shooting Saddle! I hope the snow's gone by then!!!
