New Beginnings

We have moved Allison's horse, Cricket, to a new ranch. It has turned out to be a very wise thing indeed!! It is at the beginning of San Diego riverbed, at the base of El Cajon Mountain or El Capitan mountain. It is gorgeous!!! Smaller than our previous boarding facility and not at all like a "business".
Lets take a little walk around. The horses there, total 10 horses including Cricket plus the owners own 4. The atmosphere is one of peace and harmony. Thats actually Allison riding in the background in the white shirt.

The horses are all friends with each other and are allowed to actually be horses. While cleaning Crickets stall Allison let her loose to roam about nuzzling and visiting with all the others.


This is a shot in the direction of El Cap. The colors bounce back bright orange and brown at sunset and it is truly breathtaking.



With lots of shady trees to sit under it is the perfect place to be. I really can't say enough about how happy we are now. Cricket was completely trailer trained in 3 days. On the third day following Allison into the trailer without even a lead rope!!! The owner and Allison have the same training styles and its seems to be a great match.




This is Crickets new stall. Complete with her very own shade tree.





These are absolutely my very favorite tree. Cottonwood. When the leaves are blown by the wind they dance.






So beautiful.







I spent almost 4 hours there the other day and came home feeling wonderful. Cricket has already put on some much needed weight and seems very content.
More tomorrow, I've been busy and have pictures to prove it!!! hahahahahaha
Blessings, Sue
