soooooo... we got Jixie!
We were planning on getting one from Eric's friend from work, but that fell through, so we got Jixie instead, and we couldn't be happier.
Thanks to Darla's stepdad, Kyle, she was moved safely from Benjamin to Lehi. She was acting so weird - I think just so stressed, and I was worried that she wasn't the nice horse we thought she was. But we left her in this pen place in the pasture she was going to stay in all night. Well the next day, before work, I went and saw her. She was doing better, and the other horses she would live with, all had time to adjust to her, so I let her loose. I waited with her, and all the other horses were really warming up to her, so I went off to work. An hour later, I get a call from the stable telling me she jumped the fence. They had moved her into her own paddock and we could figure out what we were going to do from there. We could keep her in the pasture, but we were all afraid she would jump again. SOOOO...for now, we are going to keep her in her own paddock, and then get her used to everybody else, and put her back in the pasture.
We have seen her every day since we have had her. It's amazing how fun it can be to be a cow girl - Eric and I both even have some dang wonderful cowboy/cowgirl boots! My friend Matt has been showing me some stuff to do training wise, and you can tell she really respects me now. I think she will be an amazing horse.
It will be such a fun adventure having a horse! I've ridden a horse every year since I can remember, so I have experience in that area, but NOW I'm getting experience having a horse! WAHOO! I already feel 100 times more comfortable with her, just over the week of doing stuff with her! I ALMOST can't believe Eric and I waited this long to get one. lol
She's great! Come visit her! :)

Thats amazing. She's sooo pretty. Can you ride her yet? How much does a horse cost. I'm super jealous, we have horses behind out house and we feed them carrots. I never see them get ridden though. :(
Oh by the way that picture of you and Jixie is adorable.
Its about time you posted some pics. she is pretty. Can't wait to ride her. Make sure she is broke so I won't break any bones. HaHa
She's beautiful! I'm glad you love her, Considering after Buck you hated riding horses. I can't wait to see all the tricks you teach her!
lol i can't believe u guys bought a horse. ur crazy. But, shes beautiful! GL with the training! You should post some video.
What I can't believe you have a horse!!!! Haha.... I didn't even know you liked horses/riding :) I need to come visit you and the new pony soon! I just have to figure out when. Now you just need another one so you and Eric can both ride together and go on trail rides!
Have you ridden her yet? Is she broke? I am not sure how old she is so maybe she hasn't been trained to ride yet. I missed your call the other day but I need to call you back soon when I get a chance.
she is pretty horse. i almost didn't recognize you with the blond hair!
what's your email address? Can you email it to me at jabeck85@gmail.com

The boys want to come meet your horse! They've heard all about her from Kade. I too almost didn't recognize you with the blonde hair.
