Riding Skillz

paige started horse riding lessons when she was four. riding is a love and passion for her. she did take a break for a couple of years to ride dirtbikes with her dad and had a lot of fun doing that too. Now it's back to horses for paige. after her riding camp, her need to ride grew. Our friend, anne, let her come out and ride again over the weekend. We now have some time scheduled for her to spend the day at the farm to help out along with a few other girls.

here is a few shots of her riding and it's very much like riding a bike....it all just comes back.





























well....maybe that was more than a few. :0)

Chinese Cresteds

for some time now paige and i have wanted a chinese crested. cresteds are interesting dogs to say the least....as you can see here.....

(images thanks to google)






when we moved we discovered one of our neighbors owned TWO cresteds! paige and i were so excited! it's very rare to see these dogs and there's TWO down the road?! wow. Here's pictures of one of them.








poor thing doesn't look quite a elegant as the google dogs...but still cute.....well i guess cute is the right word......hehehe....at least WE think he or she is cute!


as i've mentioned before i would love to have a small lap dog one day (probably quite a few years down the road). i've mentioned a yorkie before too. after speaking with the owner of these cresteds .... she confirmed that the cresteds are great dogs. she claims she owned many small breeds (i think she used to run a kennel of some sort) and the cresteds are hands down her favorite....hmmmmmmm.
