Home again!!!
Hey gang,
Home again, and sooo happy to be. Love to go away, but always love to come back home.
Thanks first of all to everyone who wished me well, thought of us yesterday, prayed for safety and all the other things you do nice for me.
Mike and I had WONDERFUL rides at the AR State Horse Show 2009!!! Mike had a near perfect ride early yesterday morning, but our baby was not what they were looking for. There is a difference in a walk and a rack. Well, our baby racks, and yesterday morning they wanted walkers, so all the racking horses had no luck. He had a great ride, they both looked snazzy and I was the proud wife and mommy.
My Slow Gait ride was wonderful yesterday afternoon. Got to dress western, ride my western saddle and we had a near perfect ride, but again, they liked others better. I was ok, b/c we both had a good time, Coal loves to be in the ring, and he took great care of his mom.
My late event, Ladies Gaited that I was soooo stressing over last week was wonderful, the head judge had written down my number for the final cut and then we had a MINOR catastrophe and almost ran over Judge 2!!!! Yep, really did, well when we did that Miss Cash broke down and stopped. I got sideways in the saddle and when I pulled back on the top, I pulled her around too far w/the reins, and the next thing I know, we are almost on TOP of the other judge. Yep, you guessed it, I got scratched (marked off the good list, lol). BUT, I didnt fall off, we had a perfect ride after that, the english saddle was NOT that bad, and we had a great time. I'll be better at it next year, and no one got hurt, we all had fun and life is good.
Glad everyone has had a safe weekend so far, I was planning on relaxing tomorrow, and the phone rang 5 minutes ago, and I have to sub tomorrow. Cant complain, at least they are calling me!!! Love those babies.
Well, Im off to put fresh squash in the freezer and cook a steak for dinner. Hope all stays well. Will see you all tomorrow.
Hugs,
A very tired but happy
