late summer.

Phew. So much has happened at Blue Elephant since my last post and I am not sure I can do it all justice. So I apologize in advance.But moving forward, or backwards as the case my be:

this is our most recent addition to the herd. (granted he came this summer, but this is the first i've gotten to write about him!) Bandit. a cheeky, prank playing, very tiny pony with quite a jump. (this photo is for size)

bandit making friends with our other most recent addition, dylan. (and of course, i can not remember for the life of me, why dylan was pretending to be a cow pony that day)

Duke was with us for a while. One of the sweetest horses I have ever met.

some company around the farm

lots of luck.

dylan and i are excited for hunting. runrunrun!

best buddies. Wynton and Dylan. I guess Wynton didn't get the "be a ham" memo

three musketeers.

radnor hounds and staff

karen came to blue elephant to check in and to give us a hand with the horses. here she and missy are walking up the the arena.

chatting away

jump position.

and gavin got on a pony, and ENJOYED it!

we finally got to hunt in virginia. and it was the most fun i've had in years!

springer was done with the photo shoot.

 the hounds in virginia, really are incredible like everyone says.

there was just something about the halters in the tree

And here i leave you. the sun setting. earlier and ealier every day. Today being particularly special, as it's Halloween. Outside I can here the tots yelling and screaming for candy. spooky music, every now and again, a kid crying... maybe a little too scary. Quite the contrast from the photos above. Anyway, I wish the grandest, tastiest, cider filled Halloween to all, and to all a good night.
