NEW VIDEO...of my horse.

Just A Heads Up ..for my family and friends

Well, the next batch of referrals is on it's way but we will not be included again. It sure is better to know now rather than have to sweat it out hoping my agency will call in the next couple of days. Thank-you so much to the little birdie who checked with the stork. For those of you wondering what the heck is going on...you are not alone. We (and our expedited Nov 2006 LID friends) are as in the dark as you are. Oh and, our agency does not know or seem to have any way to find out any information either. And, in case you have lost count...we (expedited Nov 2006 LIDs) have now been skipped over for 4 months. And we have been waiting for 17 months. Fun. Fun. Not.
PS. But don't feel bad for me. I at least am on the expedited track. And, I have a summer full of activities planned including more horse shows! Stay tuned!

JUST HORSIN' AROUND....out in Indio

To keep myself distracted from the upcoming batch of referrals, I went out to the Desert Classic Tennessee Walking Horse Show in Indio, CA. I was hoping to scope out the competition in the Leadline Class. That is the class Maxine and I can compete in together. She would sit on the pony and I would lead her around the ring. And, of course... we would have matching riding attire. (My mom and I competed in the Leadline class when I was 2 years old.) So, in CA the Leadline Class is 7 & Under and 70 & Over! How cute is that!!!?! Maxine could compete against her Grandy if we could talk him into doing it. Can anyone imagine my dad being led around on a horse??? ROTFL! So back to the competition....there was none! Not one single, solitary entry in the Leadline Class. Well, there will hopefully be at least one entry next year. Us!
So while I was out at the horse show, my horse and trainer competed in the 15.2 & Under - Open 3 Gait class Saturday morning. And, they won. Then, on Sunday morning we competed in the Pro-Am Specialty class which is where the professional(the trainer, Greg) and amateur rider(me) each show one way(half) of the class. And, we won.
