A few weeks before gaming started I decided to use Trouble, my dad's mare that I rode for my last year of OHSET for this season.  We have since been to two playdays and I think we are going to get things down.

Last weekend was Turner gaming, Trouble and I did alright, I also ran Jessica through Jackpot barrels and did great! See our run here: http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/horsepoweredhickchick/?action=view¤t=008.flv

Well, a couple days ago I set up some barrels and poles and try out Sister. I found out...she doesn't really know how to turn or direct rein much. But she is great with leads and has some natural ability. I also set up a jump and that might be something that we will look into.

Well, after working with Thunder for 90 days I came to the decision that she may not be right for barrels, or for me taking her through barrels. She will still be with us, she will stay at my dad's and has done a lot more things now including a little gun training.

A while back my dad was given a wonderful little cutting bred mare, and has said that I can try her on barrels. So far we have just done some fun, outside riding, but she is very promising. Coming next month I pl...

This week she decided that going fast isn't too bad, and we are able to walk, trot and lope without much trouble at all! Today she saw the barrel pattern for the first time and did pretty well! By March I expect that we will be loping the patterns and possibly adding some speed to barrels and maybe other patterns as well.

I am so excited, though my girls are still out to pasture, I have been able to purchase a couple things for Jessica! I recieved an in-store credit for being a club member at my local tack store (Double H is the best!) and purchased some Dy no turn bells by classic equine in light pink for her! Now Thunder will have to use her old ones until I get her some of her own, but they will both have a pair. Also, I recieved a $25 gift certificate for Smith Brothers and have purchased a light pink...

Hello Everyone! I have decided I need to start a blog to share my day-to-day training and racing experiences. Currently, both my horses are out to pasture, taking some time off while I finish school.

It was decided that Jessica, needed some time off. The 2008 season was the longest she had gone without being able to run with her herd and not have to work everyday.

While I gave the barn I was boarding at 30 ...
