Happiness!

I've been out to ride the last two days, Friday and Saturday.  Friday was just a short ride and I started her back on the safe choice.  Heidi's becoming herd bound and I don't know how to change that except take her out and work with her more.  I know winter is fast approaching and I don't do much in winter.  I do need to get some winter fleece lined breeches and maybe that will help.  Some day I'll get myself all organized and going.  I'm partly thinking to getting back to western riding again, still will cost me $450 to get a western saddle to fit Heidi. I am not giving up on english I just want to go back to what I was most comfortable and keep at it and maybe that will help me?  I don't know.  I just don't know a lot of things anymore.  I know sometimes when I'm riding, I want to do better and I really want to learn and sometimes I just want to give up completely and go back to backyard pet horse.  I know Heidi's capable of so much more and she'd really do awesome with a professional trainer but I do not have the money for that.  I need to find myself some kind of a lesson instructor and take weekly or bi weekly lessons.
Willow's learning a lot, I took her to a horse show yesterday and she was so good.  One bark at a dog that was lunging at her, a lab x heeler mix.  The two Germans shepherds also growled, barked and lunged at her and those she didn't bat an eye at.  She allowed people to come up to her, and she even went over to a few strangers and let them pet her.  She didn't freak out at the horses and ponies all around either.  She was phenomenal and earned her McDonalds burger on the way home.  She's been doing so good for everything.  She will make it to off leash work this year.  I fully intend to do it.  Her full schedule for this year is to finish Beginner Novice Obedience title and go for our CD, Novice Obedience and Rally Advanced.  That's my goals for Willow.
As for bunnies.  I'm still going to keep my retirees until they pass away on their own.  But I'm waiting to hear from a breeder in western KY for a VLop buck.  I'm looking at getting Huffy from Kylie and then getting an unpedigreed broken orange or tort  buck.  While I know I've been one to say stay away from unpedigreed animals but at this point I just want a few pairs to breed for a couple litters a year, that's all.   I'll have my chin dutch pair- Athena and Hercules, the mini Lop pair(Hufflepuff and Simon) and a Vlop pair (Oasis and whatever her buck comes out as).
