First half!!!

Hey guys so far this has been an AMAZING day!!! We started off with an almost 2 hr lecture and I LOVED it!!! There was so much information on horses and horse behaviors, I now have two full pages of notes and still more to come!! Then Clinton worked with a local horse named Niblit who is a 10 year old mare who had issues with being caught and was head shy pulled when tied and overall just very disrespectful horse. Clinton worked with her for awhile and by the time they were done she was doing really well!! After that and throughout the tour Clinton has been giving out prizes he has given out quite a few so far, this weekend they will give out $9000.00 worth of prizes I hope we win something!! Can't wait!!! Also ps Niblit was wearing all green tack!!! Clinton comes back out in a few so update later!!!

Showing Soon! Arena finished!

Hey guys, sorry I havn't updated in SO long.... anyways we finally got the arena finished! We finally got it done (minus the gate) on Tuesday and we rode Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday.... I worked on Chuck with some different things, and we even did some bridleless work, I had one rein clipped on and tied to she saddle horn and used the other as a neck rope, didn't have to use the rein, but I used the neck rope some, but only when we cantered or he didn't respond to just leg at the trot.... I was also happy because I free lunged Chuck in the arena, and I just free lunged him down on one end, and he stayed close to me... he could have run away but he didn't... (at least not until Chance walked in haha) anyways we had a great time.... it will hopefully be less busy these next few weeks so we will have more time to ride.....

2 weeks from today Roni, Nick, and I will be doing something that we have never done before! We will be going on a competition trail ride. Basically its a 2-3 hour trail ride that has I think 6 obsticles that are judged along the way. It will be a new exciting experience for us... and it will be the last big horsie thing that we do this year.....

Another thing I have to update about is my trailer.... Nick looked a little closer at it, and the wood in the manger, and the tack storage area up front was a little rotted, so he took it all out and welded a nice heafty chunk of steel in there, so that it will hold up good. The floor is all good thankfully, so thats what we have been up to lately... Here are some videos of the arena/riding!

Showing the horses!

Hey guys, so I havn't posted about it yet, so I figured I would post about it now, don't have any videos but I do have the pictures of the ribbons I got at a show we went to a couple weeks ago. Anyways it was my second time showing, but Roni and Nick decided to show for the first time and we all had a blast!!! My first two classes were walk trot and pleasure, and now that im above 16 I am in the senior division, I didn't place in walk trot, but I did get fifth in pleasure, anything above 6th you get a ribbon for, so I got a ribbon for that, then I did trail which nick beat both roni and I at, chuck had a couple of hissy fits but thats okay we worked through it, and theres always next time! Then we went on to barrels and poles, barrels went pretty good considering we got 3rd!!! poles could have been better, it seems in at least 1 speed event every time that Chuck tries to run sideways, that slowed us down but it didn't stop us from placing as I got 4th in that, then we did musical tires, I didn't know that I would have to climb back up on chuck every time so I oppted out for that, Nick beat Roni and placed in that although I can't remember how he did, then after that we did ride and switch, which is where you have to ride down to the barrel hop off and the other person gets on and rides back and its a timed event, I participated as Nicks partner and Ronis partner, with Nick we rode Chuck and with Roni we rode Jack, I thought Nick was going to fall off on the way back, but he made it, the stirrups were set on my length and obviously theres not time to change them, and we did pretty good, I am not used to riding Jack so we only cantered down instead of galloping and Jack didn't like the fast paced stuff to much and it took roni a little bit to get on because Jack was spinning in circles cause we were being crazy and in a hurry, we can definatly work on that though, I don't know what place Roni and I got, but Nick and I placed 3rd, and it was a open class so anyone could enter, we got beat by 2 groups of teen girls one of which goes to my school and is actually in my animal science class. Overall it was a super fun day and im glad we got the chance to go out and have fun. Later tonight I will make a post about what our next adventure will be so stay tuned for that!!!

Arena Update

Hey guys so this is just a short arena update we are almost there! If you don't know we have got all the concrete moved out and have been spending the past week or so picking up the smaller pieces of it, tonight we finished picking up the big pieces (anything bigger than a fist) and tomorrow I get the job of sifting through all the dirt for the smaller pieces while vironica and Nick will fill in post holes then the rest of this week we will finish the fence, so by next week we will have a nice arena to use! The size of the arena is roughly 60 feet by 120 feet although I believe it is slightly bigger than that. Anyways its going to be a nice training tool to use, Nick already has plans to add lights to the arena which won't be hard really just get a couple of yard or flood lights and we will be good although that is going to be later because we still need to get our AC fixed. Anyways heres some pictures and a video for you guys so you can see!!!

The Red part is where we normally ride so the arena is quite a bit bigger than what we are used too....

Hey!!!

Hey guys, so sorry I havn't posted in so long, anyways I finally figured out a new way to get my videos because a long while back my computer crashed so I had to get a different computer, and I lost all my videos, and my usual method of getting my videos that are saved to youtube to my computer is by making a screen video/shot thing with quick time player, but the one on the computer I have doesn't work, and neither does the microphone or camera, so I finally found a different method of downloading music and videos cause I don't have quick time or itunes and such to get music on my computer (heck and even if I did half of its blocked haha ) Anyways I made a few videos this weekend, I hope you like them, and I am going to post one today, one tomorrow and one tuesday and MAYBE one on wednesday, and sometime between now and then I will do a short update on a ride we took last weekend that was really fun and upload the videos from all of that!!!
