PRAYERS

I would appreciate all the prayers I can get, I am having a hard time with life in general these days, very confused and feel extremely hopeless and there doesnt seem to be any end in sight.

so I decided to keep the paint horse , the TWH did not get along with my others. So he is down at Crooked Creek until he sells, which is hopefully sooner than later. I figured all the kiddos grades from homeschool this year and the worst grade was a C+ and is only 1 point away from a B so I fully expect it to be brought up to a B before we are done this year, so proud of the kids for the first year of homeschooling. Kenzie has maintained all A's and an occasional B as well which is an amazing accompishment at the Academy as their classes there are extremely difficult and require alot out of the students. Today we are celebrating the end of our Horse Bowl and Hippology season all the kids did great! We are having a big dinner to celebrate. 4-h Horse and Pony has started as well the girls couldnt be more thrilled to see all of their horsey friends again. I have been enjoying trail riding my gelding alot, he is perfect for me and never puts a foot wrong, I am soo glad I decided on him. Dalton's racing is going great he is bringing home 1st's every weekend, not to long and I have a feeling that going pro will be in his future, I just hope financially we can keep him going till then. This has been his dream his whole life and now that he is sooo close, we are going to make it happen no matter what it takes as long as he is willing to put in the work and effort that it takes. Our Dog Snookie the Boston Terrier had to have a C-section this week. poor thing woke us up at 4 am with a puppy stuck , she ended up having 3 all together only 2 survived, they are extremely cute and she is an amazing mother, at the same time our German Shepard became sick and spent 2 days in the hospital and our mare stepped on a nail..........uggg!! I am soo done with bad luck , now have Vet bills out the Wazoo and no $$ to pay them. What next?? I am afraid of that answer. I guess I just need to be Thankful for my wonderful family and friends and call it a day.

The first 2 pictures are of Cody my other new horse, and the 3rd is an updated pictures of Cowboy I thiink he is progressing well, already has gained quite a bit of weight working on getting rid of his rainrot and his pink eye.....WOW didnt realize he was gonna be quite so much work when I bought him but he is sooo worth it, his temperment is to die for!! Now onto Cody, he was a impulse buy that I am kicking myself for however I know he will make a wonderful companion once I put in the work and effort, he will need alot of one on one to learn to trust. Not entirely sure I am going to keep both of them but for the time being I will love and nuture both of them as they both deserve. Cody is a Tennesee Walker and is 7 years old, he would be a better trail partner for me as his gait is soo much smoother and easier on my back. But i believe at the moment Cowboy has the better temperment but also needs alot of TLC so there are pros and cons to both, but I am just going to let life work itself out and not worry about it anymore, I have worried myself to death these last couple of years. Today I fealt blessed to have all 5 of my children home to enjoy Easter together, So Thankful Jesus died on the cross for us, what a wonderful gift!!!
