i love photography, almost as much as I love horses, and I know people might think its silly when i dress them in goofy stuff and take pics but I also like to take them places and get some real artsy pics. Like I explored around the other day and found a lot on a deep spring fed lake that is for sale and i noted I could easily get a horse trailer in and out and I would like to take a horse or two there and get some water pics of them. and hopefully not be arrested :) I also like to try new things like going around barrels in a barrel racing pattern, going over caveletties and maybe soon low jumps, I LOVE trick training. I just love that more than anything. And my horses are about the only ones around that I trail ride with who know some tricks, even one, the simplest one, bowing. All my horses bow. I get all the trick training books and work on tricks. I am not great at it but i enjoy it and its fun. The ultimate would be a real spanish walk but to do that you have to teach a half halt first and that looks hard! Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
