Meet Bubbles and Brandon

The handsome fellow in the round pen is Brandon, known as 'B' to his friends. He's a mature fellow, probably 20 years or thereabouts. He is always spotless and shiny, and prides himself on being a reliable mount.

Bubbles joined us at Higher Ground this summer for Horsey Camp. She and B got on fabulously and were riding independently by the end of the week. Upon returning home (B naturally was devastated at her departure, but did make a full recovery), Bubbles eventually began dressage lessons. This weekend she placed third in her first competition! B has remarked on Bubbles significant improvement and given his grudging approval of her mount. He is greatly looking forward to next Horsey Camp.

Should I ever get out of trouble for the whole horsey thing-its not my fault, the kid was born with a stuffed horsey in her hand-there is the possibility of video from the dressage show. For now though, you can see the full slide show of Horsey Camp 2011 here.
