Back 9 Farms

OK, Ms Linda, a fresh new page just for you!! Everyone, if you haven;t been on the blog in a  few days, be sure to read the last thread to see all of the comments about the Henry Show and 4Hers! (although we are still waiting for Ms Annette to post all of the official winnings from the regional 4H show)

The article in the Jackson Sun neighbors section about summer camp was great (Rhonda - glad Mallory and Wilson liked their pics!!)  We have already gotten some reponse from it today. Like Ms Linda said, free publicity is great!!

Summer camp is going well - it is just HOT!!! We have another great group. Lots of return campers in my and Ms Annette's group and lots of new faces in Ms Linda's group. 

Ms Annette, Justin, Sara, Ms Tootie and Ms Christy will all be at the NBHA state show this weekend. Good luck to all of them!!

I thought I had better start us a new thread before the last one kicked us to a 3rd page!! If you haven't checked out the results of our first couple of shows, be sure to look at the last entry to see all the success! We will be hosting the first Back 9 Schooling Show this Friday night and that should be fun.  And then some of us will be heading to the Henry Saddle Club Show on Saturday. We are gearing up for a great show season for the Back 9 gang!!!

Things have been really busy around the barn. New fencing is going up. The indoor arena is looking fabulous!! The new outdoor arena should be taking shape over the next couple of weeks. Our barn shows will be starting in just a few weeks, as will the saddle club show season. The NBHA season starts this Saturday in Mason.  Then before we know it, summer will be here!!! Our 4H horse judging team is getting underway before the contest next month.  This week the weather is gorgeous - highs in the 70's - which is crazy after the big snow Saturday!! I hope everyone is out there enjoying it!! Have a great one!!

Another thread. I hate that this website is now putting all comments after 20 on a new page. That is so annoying! But anyway, such is life!!! So I will give us a pretty new page to post comments! Hope everyone is doing well. The indoor arena is looking good! I guess the sides will be put up really soon. And then hopefully the weather will cooperate so that the work can start on the new outdoor arena. Those lights are looking really lonely without an arena under them to light up!!!

We had a great time at the Christmas party! Thanks to all of the folks that came!!! And Ms Linda, Ms Annette, Ms Carrie and I certainly do appreciate all of the goodies that we got! It was really sweet of everyone to think of us.  Our biggest present is that we get to work with horses every day! And to share that with other folks is just icing on the cake!!  Take a look at the pictures that I took of several of our kids with their ribbons from this show season on the awards page of the website! Hope everyone is getting everything ready for Chirstmas! Have a great week!!!
