Meet 1 February 2023!
Meet 1 was the coldest OHSET meet we have had in the 7 years the girls have been competing! Snow, wind, temps below 0! The coldest day was -7 degrees! Some events were cancelled, and athletes were allowed to compete in their jackets. We are all hoping for warm weather for meet 2!
Meet Simone! February 2023
Lucy decided that an older horse would be a better match for her in the last few years of high school, especially because she has baby Kenny to start under saddle! We purchased Miss Simone, "Heaven Sent a Star" for Lucy and we are very much looking forward to seeing these two crush the competition in show ring!
The journey to get to Sisters was a bit delayed for Simone. We had a big snowstorm with very cold temperatures that delayed the hauler by a few days. We felt bad for Simone having to stay in some unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people! She was a bit snorty and wide eyed when she arrived here in Sisters, but she is settling in well now.

Hiking trip October 2022
Lucy and Ava set out on a 3-day class backpacking hiking trip to the base of South Sister Moutain. They left on Friday morning, and it was gorgeous.... And then... SNOW came... major snow. I think I experienced my first ever moment of anxiety. The mountains got over 3 feet of snow and wind gusts of 65+ Mph and these girls were stuck in those exact mountains with minimal clothing and only a tent. They did end up hiking out early. I am eternally grateful to God for bringing these two home safely to us.
Oh Christopher, what did you do now?! October 2022!
You know those beautiful barn doors I posted about? Well, Chris was working on some part of that and evidently a piece of wood (that was on a table saw) got caught and somehow flew back and hit his thumb! I ended up taking him to Urgent care, which, as you probably know, nobody goes to the hospital unless they are REALLY injured!
Chris ended up with a thumb fracture, complete traumatic removal of the thumb nail, and a foreign body in his thumb. OUCH!
This photo was taken about 7 days after the original injury. The mesh look to his thumb was a piece of "non stick" gauze that got stuck to his thumb! That was quite a painful procedure to get it off! Poor Christopher!
Homecoming 2022!
Lucy and Ava were given the honor of carrying the Sisters team flag for the homecoming home football game! Now, this didn't exactly go as planned as the football team ended up charging through a banner way too early and they spooked Dakota and Hank! But Lucy and Ava rode off and made it all look so intentional. They did a great job!
Not only can these two beauties get down and dirty in the horse world, but they can also dress it back up and be fancy for a night of dancing! I can't believe how beautiful these two young ladies are!
Foster kitten FAILURE! Baby Punkin October 2022!
We foster kittens for Brightside Animal Shelter in Redmond. We got the call this October for single kitten that was found outside of Autozone. He was said to be very meowy and whiney... Perfect! Just what the girls and I like! We were so excited to foster another baby!
Punkin never did mind the dogs. We knew right away the Punkin was a different breed of cat!
He did prove that he was VERY needy. Always needing to be held, or stuffed in your vest, on your lap, etc.
We ended up adopting baby Punkin. He is the sweetest boy and has definitely stolen our hearts!
