Well, hello my faithful
followers!
Faithful you are, for I
have not posted in almost 6 months. Whew, I'm finally back to give you the
scoop! Pride and I have competed in the Central Idaho Horse Show Association
again this year. It consisted of a horse show at Arco, Challis, Mackay and Salmon.
We ended up second this year, so we are slowly making our way up the ladder.
During that time we also competed in 4-H and dominated our local 4-H show.
Every class we got a first place rosette. I decided to go to state in
Showmanship, Bareback, and Equitation. I am so proud to say Pride and I are
two consecutive year state champions in Showmanship! We also received
our first 1st in Bareback this year and a second in Equitation. I
have gained so many amazing memories from this year!
Pride will never cease
to amaze me.
As for my project
horses, Davey and Bell, things have been going slowly but surely. I took Davey
to fair as my 4-H project horse. Thankfully our county had never done one
before so they had no idea what to do, so I didn’t have to ride her at fair! :D
I would have definitely been bucked off! Only because I have only had 5 rides
on her, although they’ve gone great. She will make a great kids horse once she
understands more.
As for Bell, we’ve had
more trouble with her. She is so head shy it makes me wonder if the previous
owners beat her. She’s a kind and curious horse, and a pleasure to ride. She’s
tough to bridle because you have to unbuckle it and slip it over her neck
because she won’t let you touch her ears. I’m hoping that if I spend 5 minutes
everyday just messing with them that she will become more trusting. She has an enormous
amount of potential, but we can only hope that she’ll come around.
Life has been great! :D
I’m in cross country so
my days are busy, but that’s how I like them.
As a closing quote:
Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.
Thank you for not abandoning me, ;)
