I'm Back

Its been so long since I last posted summer is such a busy time so I thought I would give you some updates.

I have been keeping up with the horses. Ellie has made some great progress at barrel races I have got her trotting through the barrels smoothly. Maggie has also been going to barrel races and doing really well this girl and I are neck and neck for first place at the barrel series we have 4 more to see who wins I am super nervous. Tyree was better then I took him to a barrel race and he reinjured himself so he is better again but we are rebuilding his muscles and strength very slowly. Jayney is going to be going to more speed shows in the weeks to come. Joey is doing great and I am thinking of taking him in some English events in the upcoming weeks.

I went to 2 concerts with girls from my basketball team it was really fun. We had a blast and got to talk to the bands after the concerts.

I had basketball camp this week and that was ok it was a very intense camp instead of a fun camp they worked us like crazy and I was sore after everyday.

We are painting our house so I get up some mornings and help do that. One time there was a bee when I was on the ladder painting and it wouldn't leave me alone so I asked my mom to hand me a rock and I tried to smash it while it was sitting on the ladder, I missed and it came at me I almost fell of the ladder but didn't get stung :)

Speed Show and Barrel Race

  Friday we had a speed run and I brought Jayney and Ellie. Ellie did poles she did really well and then when we did barrels it was dark outside so the lights kinda scared her but its good for her to get used to this stuff while we are training. Jayney did 7 different events and did really good to we got 1st and 2nds in those events.

Today we went to a barrel race I brought Maggie, Tyree, and Ellie. Ellie did so good I was so proud of her, her turns were great. Maggie did really well also she got second place. Tyree went in and the first barrel was nice and then we went to switch leads going to his second barrel and he pulled up lame again so we are having the horse shoer come on Friday and if he doesn't find anything w are gonna take him to the vet.

The ducks are getting so big they are so cute they have a pool and they love swimming. Bart has blue and purple under feathers it is so cool.

Barrel Race

  On Wednesday I went to a barrel race and took Maggie and Ellie. Ellie was a little crazy in the warm up pen she was anxious and nervous about everything which makes sense because this is only the second barrel race I have brought her to but you have to start the young ones somewhere (no matter how dumb they may make you look:). I did two exhibition runs on her the first one her mind  was all over the place the second run she did a lot better.


  Maggie did amazing we took first place in our age group I was so proud of her she is a very lovable horse she gives me her all. I got lots of complements on my run after my run which made me feel good.

I am going to a horse speed show tomorrow I am taking Jayney and Ellie. I will try to get some pictures then. I will let you guys know how it goes:)

Funny story....a little girl about 6 years old came up to me and my mom at the barrel race on Wednesday and asked if I was my moms mom it was quite funny.:)
