Hi Horse Pals ~

Avery and I have recently started taking fine art classes and we LOVE it!  We've created lots of cool animal art so we'll post some to the blog to share with you all.

Anyways, our art teacher recently recommended we enter an Aaron Brothers art contest for the new movie Legend of the Guardians.  You had to create an owl character of your own.  Our owls just got posted on the Aaron Brothers site and everyone can go and rate them!  You can actually vote every day, so the more votes, the better!!

Please click on the link below and vote for Otis The Storyteller (by Araya) and Pawkwa the Owl Of Peace (by Avery)

The owl art is always moving pages so make sure that you look through the art to find our owls.

STABLE DAYS DVD GIVEAWAY POETRY ENTRIES BY DARBY

Denali, One Moment Of The Ride

When you ride a horse like Denali, all you can say is wow. With all the speed and power in the world, held together by a peice of horseflesh. All you know and learn can be forgotten, in one moment of the ride. Like riding a black tornado, your sure to be surprised. Running like the wind, flying through the sky, you can get lost in one moment of the ride. When you ride a horse like Denali, your breath will be left behind, you will be beckoning with danger, the excitement, of real life. You can lose all sense of mind, in one moment of the ride.

Salsa

When you see a horse, black as midnight, sweet as sugar, you can think of Salsa, think of her. Let you mind go blank, your body go limp, think of what is, and what was, then picture Salsa, who stands for everything, and everyone. Like midnight on a sunny day, Salsa's black coat will surprise you in every way. Sweet as sugar, brown eyes will win your heart. Think of Salsa, who stands for everything and everyone, black as midnight, sweet as sugar, she is sure to surprise, even the waryest believers.

Tinkerbell

There is a pony named Tinkerbell.  She is so cute and nice to me. Tinkerbell hates the girth that is on the saddle.  She nips at you and kicks her leg up.  She loves to eat food and treats.  She always does what I want her to.  She has a great walk, trot and canter.  I could canter on her all day if I could.  Tinkerbell is the best pony ever.  I was leasing Tinkerbell but now I am leasing a pony named Buck.  I wish I was still leasing Tinkerbell.  I LOVE TINKERBELL!

Cheerio

Cheerio is so much fun to ride.  He is only four years old so he doesn't know much yet but I still got to ride him. Cheerio is so nice and when I tack him up he makes this really funny sound. When I jump him I learned that if he isn't fast enough for the jump he stops then jumps the jump.  Cheerio is the best horse ever.  I really love Cheerio.
