Hello,

Looks like more rain today. Taking the girls to a 4H meeting tonight. Doesn't look like I'll get time to ride today.

Talked to one of my girls last night from her new home. She's home sick and misses us. I miss her too. This whole thing is just plain wrong. But I have to try to keep things positive. They already want to cut phone calls from us. I knew they would do that. They got jealous, she won't hug them and wants to come home. I don't know what to say. I want to tell her that I'll come get her, but I can't. I'm not like that anyway. We talk about good stuff to keep her mind off the other stuff. I keep letting her know that we love her and miss her. Tell her to try to keep a positive mind about things and to work it out with her family. I've told her to try not to get an attitude. I don't want anyone thinking that we've told her otherwise. I know she's okay, but it's so hard knowing she wants to come home and there's nothing I can do but pray. What they've done just isn't right. And to tell us that they got stuck with her. It breaks my heart. She was in a good home that loved her and took very good care of her, that wanted her because we loved her not because we were told to take her. She had friends and family here.

I had to get that off my chest. I worry about her so much and feel that this was a mistake. I hope someone else can see that too.

I looked at an Arabian stud colt Sunday. I told the owner we were interested yesterday. We are trying to work out our finances so I can get this horse. I want to start a good program with good bloodlines and I think I've found one. I'm not sure if I'l have time to show this horse, but I'm going to try.
