Will be here this week filming the remodling of the farm that I grew up riding horses on!! When I was 10 I started horse back riding down the street about 1 mile from my house and the riding instructor that I had lived across the street from the farm. (The farm was her parents.) She was pregnant and had a 2 year old, well when her son was 2, almost 3 and her daughter was 4 almost 5 I was 12 and started babysitting for her, so I was there all the time. All of this until I turned 17 and joined the military and moved away. When I was 21 I moved back home and was pregnant with my youngest dd and, about 2 years ago, my older dd started riding lessons, we gave it up for a while mainly because I didn't agree with the way things were going. I won't say what, but we did tell both DDs recently that proably next spring we will let them go up to take lessons. My dds will be 5 & 7- I thought this would be the perfect time for them to learn because I always wished that I had started riding much earlier than I did. Anyway her husband died about 6 months ago and she thought that she was going to have to let the farm go because of a lot of different things, and now she won't!!!! This is awesome! She and her kids are in Italy right now and will come home Sunday to a brand new barn and house!!! Oh yeah and a girl friend of mine who is a massage therapist was called and asked to volunteer her time this week to work on the set- giving Ty massages!! Yeah ok I'm excited for them can't you tell!
 
Wow, they sent them to Italy?!?! I've only seen them sending them to places in the US, but I haven't seen all the episodes.
 
Yeah they left Sunday morning and will be back Saturday night. (I think) I've never seen the show in it's entirety-just bits and pieces of different shows.
 
Oh wow!! That's so neat!! That's one of my favorite reality shows. I don't get to watch it regularly but it's still fun when I get to!
 

That's wonderful! We love that show; my kids always want to watch it. So I'll be keeping my eyes open for that episode!
 
That is just way cool!! Thanks for sharing! I love hearing good things!
 
The only thing I don't like about that show (and I haven't seen it recently) is that the houses seem SO fancy and done out. I always felt they could have helped like 3 families with the same amount of money with normal size houses and it wouldn't seem so extravegant. I don't know....I'm mean it's awesome and everything but it would be more awesome if they helped more people with less fancy stuff.
 
Yeah, but it probably wouldn't get the ratings. And, with bad ratings the sponsors drop and then noone gets helped.
 
Italy? They usually send them to WDW most of the times. Not sure which one I would want. That is neat that you get to see that!
 
You know, Adventures by DIsney has a trip to Italy they just started. That's probably it.
