Back from Holiday- Miguel and Wilbur are besties! I'm happy to have a coworker at my barn to play with.

Best friend, Nicole, visits from Chicago to celebrate her 30th Birthday!

And rides Wilbur!

I visit Erin at HITS in Ocala- Heaven!

I continue on a very travel heavy first half of the year by spending time in Bozeman, MT. 

Wilbur turns 6!

April:

Manage to visit Anna in Boston while fitting in a few work meetings!

Paul goes on his first trail ride!

May:

I attempt to be fashionable with fancy lipstick...hmmm

Make the decision to move barns and start with Team KMT!

Explore the trails!

Attend our first show- a KMT show. Wilbur soaked in the atmosphere!

June:

Paul and I celebrate 8 years of togetherness! 

Wilbur is giving us some trouble so we move him to a stall/paddock hoping he'll settle in. 

July:

Great first year at Ariat!

Great way to spend our July 4th- hiking in Half Moon Bay!

Wilbur is CHAMPION at his first show- pile of poles!

August:

Visit to Pennsylvania to attend AETA- but got some quality time with friend Kasey!

Wilbur goes to his first away show at Sonoma Horse park! Very brave!

Polly and I get to know one another!

November:

Thanksgiving in LA with Paul's Family!

Lots of goofing around (see Mort the Guinea Pig playing a key role in the panorama)

I help out at the barn as much as possible! Horse time!

December:

Wilbur goes to the vet and we get some sad news.

Luckily had a whirlwind Holiday to take my mind off of it. Time in Ohio and Florida with family!

Outside of the past few months- a pretty happy and fun year!
