Eva and Kerstin say farewell to Summer 2005

Eva and Kerstin take the camera to capture memories from Summer 2005

Well, it was no wonder that everyone was a little down at Curlies Austria today. As Eva and Kerstin moped about with long faces doing their last chores and going out to say goodbye to their favorite horses. Eva and Kerstin will be sorely missed here, but we wish them a very good school year. To save memories of their favorite things and horses, Eva and Kerstin took images for our readers, we've posted some of them here.

Billy Jack looking beefy.

Clooney being a good boy.

Kerstin's mount, Lark.

Eva's mount, Resi.

The flowers at the front of the stall.

The orchard.

Apples ripening in the fall light on a young tree.

The mower Erwin uses to cut grass for the horses.

Diamond Rain, who they brushed very often.

Lady, who they brushed even more often.

Moon.

Eva's favorite, Jo Jo.

Kerstin's favorite, Rose.

Frost.

Magic.

Joe.

The manure pile that they helped to build over the summer. According to Eva, the most important picture of the series.

The saddles they used in the lessons.

The shelf they cleaned and organized more than once.

The old cow stall converted into box-stalls.

The machine hut.

Their favorite bench where they spent hours chatting, where they had their lunch on sunny days, and where they waited in the mornings for Karen. (Note Kerstin's brand new moped in the back! Yeah Kerstin!)

The roundpen where their first western riding lessons were learned.

Eva and Kerstin sad that the summer is over.
