Ranch Life.

 Sidney has been working hard to get her school work done ahead of time, so she can spend extra time at the ranch.  Noel's little girl, Emma, has become the barn baby:).  Sidney loves playing with her, and Emma loves Pigeon!  

Hannah is an official member of Hidden Valley Ranch.  Sabrina ended up buying Lily.  She met with Hannah and her parents and worked out some conditions for Hannah to keep riding Lily.  It was a win-win for everyone!

Pigeon is such a good horse and trusts Sidney so much.  Sidney continues to work on new things with him.  Who says you cannot teach an old horse new tricks?

Sidney spent two of the three days at the Horse Expo this year.  All day long!  She even went the day before the horse expo to help Noel with her horses in a clinic.  She is hooked.  She was pretty good at not spending all her hard earned money at once, but did buy these cute chaps for the ranch show she planned to do.  They were a much better deal than the Italian leather ones she had tried on that were approaching $1,000.  Sheesh!

Sidney attended her first show.  The first day, she rode Noel's young horse Maze.  It was Maze's first show two, so they both took it easy and tried everything on for size:).

The second day she went, she took Pigeon and participated in games.  They had a blast.  She came home deciding she wanted to do barrel racing.  Uh,  no!
