    The barn I ride at is in Yelm so I spend lots of time there during the summer:) Although I just got a new horse so we need to get used to each other a bit before we will be doing a bunch, He is an OTTB and very sweet.... I had to sell two horses and it was hard! We still have to build a coop...
