People who don't have horses sometimes say to me, "horses sure are beautiful, but why do you have all these animals that demand so much of your time and your finances. It seems you live at the barn. You could probably have a spare room at the vet clinic with as much time as you spend there".

They say, "if you got rid of your horses, you could buy a really nice house without worrying about all the upkeep of the land. You could go on amazing vacations and never have to worry about finding someone to care for your horses. You wouldn't be tied down and could do whatever you want".

I laugh because they are not wrong. The truth is, lam sure I would have a LOT more money if I didn't have horses. Non-horse people would probably die to find out all the expenses that go into a horse...feed, hay, boarding costs, vet bills, farrier expenses...

And they are right when they say I would probably have a lot more free time if I didn't have to spend it feeding horses, cleaning stalls, treating wounds and making sure that they are all well taken care of. I could afford a beautiful home in suburbia and not worry about the upkeep that is involved with acreage.

But I always say that God would never have ignited this HUGE passion for horses in my heart if I wasn't meant to have them. And on days like today when my heart feels heavy, I go sit on my tailgate watching the sunset...just me and my horses...and here in the quiet..my heart and soul find peace..

Me (to my young student): "Your horse needs to walk faster. Use your legs and get him going! He needs to walk like he's on his way to the kitchen for the last Oreo cookie."

Student: "Okay."

Horse continues walking sloooowwwly. 🙄

Me: "How do you walk when your on your way to get the last Oreo?"

Student : "Like this. I don't like Oreos."

**Neigh of the Day**

Geno (Jockey Club:Closeau) is a 10 year old Thoroughbred who Kim Reynolds adopted from New Vocations when he was 4 year old. His size and silly antics always get our visitors' attention, and you can often see him enjoying the music playing on the barn radio. Although he has a busy training schedule with Kim, he still enjoys teaching some lessons...even the littles riders on the lunge line!

Mongo (JC Candygramformongo) is a 9 year old Thoroughbred who was a racehorse until he was 4. Emily Domonkos purchased him at the end of his racing career and began teaching him dressage and some jumping. Mongo works in our lesson program, and he's a sensitive soul who requires a lot of encouragement. He is a visitor favorite because he 'smiles' when he eats treats!

**Neigh of the Day**

Fritz is a 20 year old Paint gelding who has been Sarah Louise 's patrner for many of those years. He has taught many riders during that time, and he's like a teddy bear disguised as a horse. His gentle nature gives confidence to even the most timid riders, but he can still show off his fancy moves when he wants! This year he helped one of our junior riders learn the ropes of showing at the recognized show level. He adores his people and it is fun seeing his sweet face as he naps during the day.

**Neigh of the Day** Saint is a 4 year old New Forest Pony cross who was born at RKR Farm. Watching him grow from a rambunctious foal into a silly young horse has been a wonderful learning experience for our families. Saint is now owned by Sandy Walter Rosvanis , and she does a wonderful job of challenging Saint's curiosity.

Quinn is a 9 year old Paint mare who came to our program in May of this year. She was originally here to be sold, but quickly captured all of our hearts.....especially her Mom, Gloria Brown Wolfe ! She loves people and always wants to be involved in whatever is taking place in the barn aisle. She and her mom are always trying new obstacles and adventures, and Quinn takes it all in stride.

**Neigh of the Day**

Dolly is a 15 year old Paint mare who is owned by our friends Robin, Shyla, and Cora. ❤️ Although she gets lots of attention for her pretty palomino cpat, she is a very talented, versatile girl! Dolly participates in dressage and western lessons, and even does some occasional jumping. She loves bananas and often tries to bribe visitors for scratches with her big brown eyes.
