Here is the icky video of my icky intro test. It is very clear in the video is as in PANIC mode! Look at my posting! And I know the left leg looks longer then the right, but I couldn’t put any weight in my right stirrup or put my heel down! I hate this [...]

I am taking a break from my show posts because this Saturday is the first Saturday in May! One of my favorite events of the year is this weekend! I know that it surprises a lot of people to know that I love the Kentucky Derby. You would think that since both my ponies are [...]
Those Poor Polo Ponies…

I got this off of Yahoo! News yet again. This article makes me SOOOOOO angry. Those poor horses had a slow and terrible death. I swear to freaking goodness SOMETHING needs to be done about this. These people knowingly endangered, and ended up killing, 21 horses by using a drug to give themselves an advantage. [...]

We actually got to the show grounds early. Before the show even started! We found a good place to park and went to check in. The show manager was great and right away we went together to the judge to ask for permission for me to be able to show in my clogs. Just as [...]

*Ankle Update! Sorry I didn’t update you all yesterday, but my ankle is looking MUCH better. The burn cream I got is wonderful. On show day it did hurt because the stupid breeches would rub it! My blisters popped before I even got on. It was so weird to feel the liquid running down my [...]

Sorry I didn’t post last night. By the time I got home after taking care of Gennyral it was after 6 and I was exhausted. It was unseasonably hot here yesterday. I showed in April and it was 85 degrees! Neither Texas nor I take the heat well. So sorry for no posting because it [...]

I am so excited for my show today I woke up 15 minutes before my alarm! Texas was WONDERFUL last night to ride. His owner rode him 2 times last week and I can totally tell the difference in him. I rode in sneakers, which was odd. I felt so unsafe! I don’t think I [...]

Tomorrow at this time I will be getting ready to go to the barn for the show…YAY! Or at least I should be. I have to try and ride with the burn tonight and see how that goes. I have already started to get ready with my normal pre-show rituals. I have to because this [...]
Tandom Bum Leg Updates…

My Poor Horse and I…we are quite the pair. I went to a tack store on my way home from work yesterday to grab some Betadine scrub and vet wrap since I was running low. The girl at the check out register couldn’t belive I didn’t bat an eye at spending$30 on vet wrap. I [...]

In case you can’t tell I am SUPER excited for our show on Saturday. Even my nasty burn can’t bring me down. Although it is so nasty I cannot imagine all those people who have burns all over their body! This is Texas’s 2nd show ever and our first together. I wanted to have realistic [...]
