Today is Lyoshka’s 4th birthday (4-11-2010), so I thought
I would send you some pictures that were taken today. He is a bit
taller and has filled out a bit, but still not as tall has his big
sister Anya. He had a lot of time off over the Winter, two
blizzards and the roof of our indoor arena collapsing from the
weight of the snow, but he has now resumed his training and is
coming along nicely. He had only been ridden in our indoor arena
when I broke him last summer, but I have started riding him in the
outdoor ring now and have ridden him short distances around the farm
property. I even trailered him off the property once and rode him
at another farm. He is doing great! I plan on taking him out on
the trails very soon.
We received the beautiful 2009 end of year awards for both Anya and
Lyoshka. Thank you very much! The trophies from Flying W are
awesome and so are the plaques from the IGGHR. What a nice
surprise!
I hope you are doing well. Meghan will be sending some pictures of
her riding Anya in a separate email.
Take care,
Eileen
