Tia Turns Twelve !!!

12 years ago this lil filly was born - 5 years ago she appeared @ the barn & 5 months ago I took over ownership.  I now have a " tween " equine!!!  We are still working on bonding, but every Saturday brings us closer together - it took Bud & I quite the while, but was WELL worth the effort :)

She is well mannered, rock solid ( unless you try to ride her bare back ), & accepts both English & Western tack - even w/ inexperienced riders!!  She usually comes when called  ( could be that carrot ) & does rule the roost when turned out...an alpha mare for sure.  

Chucky was very excited to see her on her special day - altho she did turn her back on him :(



                          The wind was a real factor outside  - check out the mane !



We had to circle several times to get the correct stance & keep the letters from blowing !


                                       She is SO pretty ........&.... a good sport :)


              Almost got it.....I had to keep adjusting the letters w/ the wind gusts !




Finally, we have the horse, letters & owner all looking @ the camera - when she turned to look @......



                  Chucky who was watching the whole production from his pasture :)





                                                  Here are some " out takes "..........


                                                 





All in all a fun B'day - her stall was decorated,  she enjoyed eating all her treats, as well as  being the first one to be groomed & finally having her own photo shoot !!  I hope to gain her trust even more as we both move into this new  year w/ only a few more weeks left til we can    ride   ride    ride :))
