Going Away

Cassie and Patti have left my barn.

Cassie was my barn girl for 3 years and Patti is her mare, a nice Appy with 'Birdcatcher' spots on her back, otherwise all chestnut.

Cassie and her boyfriend have moved on to a local farm and they have room for Patti. I'll miss them!

 

So we had a Going Away party for Cassie last night.

 We sat around for a couple hours and chatted

And had a BBQ & potluck, YUM!

We gave Cassie gifts, I gave her a basket with a bunch of single servings of wine, doggy treats & chocolates, some cute little birdy salt & pepper shakers and horsey place mats and napkins.

Hagen loves to join in

It was a lot of fun to just sit and chat with all the girls. Sarah brought her daughters, they played around the farm and in the fire. Pyros! They cooked/burnt our marshmallows for our s'mores.

Sarah is the one who did Endurance riding this summer and came in 10th out of 54 in her first race, now shes hooked. I'm going to do it with her next year. Hopefully on Wifi. We'll see how that goes.
