Our big news is the new interactive website. Designed to be a little more "user" friendly and informative. I want to really thank Amberlee of Five Pine Ranch and vp graphix in Peachland, B.C. Amberlee has been absolutely amazing to work with. Efficient, freindly, professional and supportive. What more could you ask for in a website designer. Amberlee will be helping me with the aid of content management software to maintain and update our site on a regular and timely basis. I get to do all the editing and updates....so it will be a learning curve for me - bear with me as I learn the new software. My blog is set up for multi-users - so please feel free to to add your comments, questions or announcements on our blog page.

All our 2 year olds have found awesome owners in great show homes. We will look real forward to watching them and cheering on these new teams this year in the show pen! We have one remaining sole whom we hope to get to the show pen and the Sask 50/50 this year - PRR Time For Scotch (aka-Justin).

We had a great Canadian Western Agribition show in Regina the end of November. Our 2010 raffle filly, PRR Itza Coosino Bar (a.k.a. "Lisa) generated a ton of raffle ticket revenue for the Sask Paint Horse Club. We were pleased to be able to help out and support the club this way. Lisa handled all the people, excitement and attention with ease. We were able to lead her through the crowds of people like a puppy! We left her stall door open so the smaller folk could see her in her stall. Soon there were line-ups of kids just waiting to go in the stall and pet her soft (freshly bathed) coat. Just the sight off all the kids eyes and smiles lighting up made all our extra homework worth the effort. It was amazing to meet so many kids that had never seen a horse close up, let alone touched their soft coat. It made me realize how lucky we really were and how we often take the little things like that for granted. Lisa was won by the Shelly Fouhse family of White City, Saskatchewan. Logan (their 17 year old son) had helped in the raffle both during the week and had taken Lisa out for walks. It was apparent by Friday that Lisa had taken quite a "shine" to young lad. She would nicker to him as he walked away from her stall. We couldn't be happier about the 2 becoming permanent friends.

Jan. & Feb. will mean the up & coming 2 YO's will head to the barn for handling and basic ground work & the 3 year olds will get more training and conditioning. Hopefully by the time I post my next blog - we'll have the "newbies" posted on the website. Till then, take care, stay warm and happy trails (with many campfire stops this season)!
