Hey Joanne!
I was looking through some pictures, and found some old ones of Ozzy and PeeWee jumping at the pony club prep camp!
Theres also a really good one of Jet cantering, I can send them to you if you want? :)

Jenna Merkley

Well, it wouldnt let me send them through barnmice, so I sent them through email :)
Who are the horses in your profile picture? Its super cute! :)
Things are pretty good, all my horses are going great! I dont know if you've seen the pictures of my new horses, Im currently training Zeke (the 2 year old gelding) and he is amazing! I think Im getting spoiled with my horses! For a two year old, he's extremely lazy :)
Diamond is really good, she has a tumour, but its not cancerous!, that we have to get removed. Our show seasons done, and Im hoping to put an ad up, and find her someone to lease her next year for dressage, because she's a really great dressage pony!
We also bred Dezzi! (my paint) She should be due next May, but we havnt confirmed her in foal yet.
And no, I hadnt heard about Gypsy, but thats good. Where'd she go?, Aha, when I saw the ad for her on equistation, I wanted to buy her, but with 4 horses, I want allowed! :)

Well, I can tell one of the horses in your profile picture is Benny? :P
(I also saw Cat's pictures of Fionas driving lesson on facebook!)

Sep 5, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Thats great that Gypsy's doing so well! So who all do you have at your place now?
Aha, as soon as you get those pictures of Mikey, put them up! :)

Sep 5, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Haha, I could just see Hilite doing that!
Ive seen them out front together a couple times, and Bounce is so cute! She'll look great once she's going good!
Is Scooter still being half-leased?
How is Lenoir?
:)

Sep 5, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Yeah, I just saw the pictures on Facebook recently! She look amazing!
I noticed her colouring in the front feild, very unique!
Hope all goes well with Lenoir. :)
Alls good with us, Bears struggling a bit more, so were going to have to put him down soon.. but he's lived 14 good years :)
School.. don't even :P Hahah, I guess it's alright, a bit more fun, because its highschool! :)

Sep 8, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Yeaah, I heard!! All over facebook hahah :p (Saw the pictures too: she looked amazing!)
Well thats good, is Fiona going to be riding it?
And no, Im not able to ride alot! I have basketball practice after school Monday-Thursday, and I dont usually get home til like 6:30 or so, unless I get a ride with someone else. AND, we've had tournanments for the last 3 weekends. So all my ponies are getting fat again :( All my hard work getting them in shape, and now its all going to waste!!
Thats one of the reasons I wanted to lease Diamond, I dont want all the training I put on her to go to waste! She's such a good little show/dressage pony! Too bad she wasnt a horse.. :p But I havnt found anyone at the moment, dont really have time to have anyone out to see her. She was at Emily's this summer: did she mention it?

Oct 3, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Hahah, that would be great :) Maybe you could give them my email first tho? :)
You should! Your ponies are on Cat's profile, and my profile, and Emily's profile! Their all over it! :)
Thats good! Hows Miss P doing? And Benny? :)
Hahaha, I miss that little pony!

Oct 5, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Thanks! :)
Thats great about Miss Pee!
And yeah, Ill have to stop in and see Mikey, and the horses! :)
Aha, good old Oz :P
I was looking through pictures of us, from like 2007, and he looked so cute :)

I rode all the way to your house today!
Was going to stop in, but Zeke wouldnt stop calling to your guys, and I didnt want to get them all going!

Nov 6, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Hahah, I thought there was more than just my horses footprints!
You sound like your busy then! Thats great :)
How are the old guys doing?
Im going to stop in soon, or give you a call, because I would like to come in for a lessson!
I havnt had a lesson that focuses on my riding in awhile, and I definetly need it! Haha, I'd like to see how much my riding has changed since I stopped taking lessons! Haha, I have a basketball game on Tuesday, and if we lose, were out for the year, so I'll get a hold of you after basketballs over.. That way I can get more riding back into my schedual! :)

Nov 7, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Thats great :)
I didnt know Kathleen was riding still! Thats good!! I bet Jets happy hahhah. :)

Nov 8, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Yep, she asked me, but my parents aren't sure, I'd like to though!
Aha, but I'd have to take a couple lessons first, because its been so long since i've taken a lesson that focuses on my riding position, so I think I may have my "training" position going on.
Thats a great idea-I would love to :)

Nov 29, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Hahah, I will!
Andd, we did get a trailer! Bought it sometime around the end of the summer. I'm done showing Diamond, because Im too big to ride her, other than at home. But Im taking Zeke in some next summer!
Okay, thanks :)

Nov 30, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Awe thats great! She's an amazing little pony! :)

Dec 20, 2010
Jenna Merkley

Haaha, no problem! Knew you liked them :)

And alright thanks, I would like to come for a ride!

We got a pony harness really really cheap, and I cleaned it all up, but I do not remember where all the peices go! So I can't even tell if all the parts are there hahah. Do you think you could come over some day this week, and take a look at it? :) Text me if you can, and let me know what day.. (don't know if you stilll have my number, but its 246-2735)

Jan 1, 2011
Jenna Merkley

Alright sounds good! :)

And yess, I already gave it a good cleaning, and all the buckles are useable :)

Jan 2, 2011
Jenna Merkley

Thats good about the house! :)

And okay, either day would probably work. On Sundays, I trailer Diamond and Zeke over to Tina's (to use the arena!), but that either takes just the morning, or just the afternoon hahha :)

And, awee! Thats good :)

Hey Joanne, I was just wondering if when your front feild is ready to be ridden in, if you'd mind if I rode over and rode in it? And if you wanted money for it, how much? Let me knoww :)
