Take the Reigns

So... Joy, Joe, and I finally all got to talk about possibly getting Three Hots and a Cot to come out to The Red Barn and participate in the Take the Reigns program (See my second blog post for more on that)!  Joy was very excited to hear that there was a group of people who wanted to participate in the program.  So far, the plan is to have a "pilot" encounter, with about three men from Three Hots and a Cot and some of our horses.  After that we will talk to the men who participated and see what they would like to change about the program and what they liked. After that we are hoping that it may potentially become a regular thing!

Some other things that have happened at the barn is that we have gotten 3 new horses! One is a Saddlebred and quarter horse mix, another is a pony, and the last one is a miniature pony (I'm not sure their exact breed).  This picture is from tonight when we were bringing all of the horses in.  Topper (left) and JJ (right) are the pony and miniature pony.  They are great with the kids and Topper is perfect under saddle! It is so cute to see a little kid riding him, they are the perfect size!

Well, I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on the the status of the Veterans project!
