===============================================================

Despite the cold & snow Spring is really just around the corner now! 

The birthday parties will become a reality this spring as we work toward tweaking all of the little details.  We anticipate booking our first parties beginning April 22nd!  Ace has learned some new tricks besides kicking balls, playing jump rope (holding the rope; not jumping!) & being a volleyball net.  He likes to give kisses, hugs, answer "yes" and "no" to name a few...and is even more enthusiastic if an occasional treat is a part of it!  He loves his peppermints!  He has "smiling" down to the point of being a clown about it.  He has learned how to sidepass toward me and is just beginning 2-rein ground driving.  We are moving toward getting the bow better as well.  He's doing more of a lazy curtsy at the moment.  Of course, the little ones are nearly always ready for a new adventure.  We also have a couple of project horses we are working with & I'll share more on them as we progress.   We'll be seeing you all really soon!

 Warmest wishes & blessings to all!
