About Me

My photo
Well to start off in case it wasn't obvious, I LOVE HORSES! I have been riding for about three, coming on four years now. I was one of the top riders in my riding school when it came to riding western. So I know a thing or two about western riding. If I was asked what types of horses are my favorites, defiantly Quarter Horses. I am also a sucker for American Paints, Appaloosas, Buckskins and lots more. I really don't have a least favorite type though. My current horse is a 4 year old American Paint named Daisy. She is my first horse I ever really trained from the ground up. She is a halter baby and an ex western pleasure horse that also knows a few reining tricks, even though she doesn’t neck rein. I also have a wonderful dog named Gretchen. I also have a HUGE wonderful family. My mom has seven brothers and a sister, so you do the math. Really I am just your typical American girl, so if you really want to know more just ask.

I thought I would share a first.

So last night I was looking on the YouTube at all my videos I had created and I can across something interesting. My first barrel racing time and my first time using spurs. It was actually for a project last year, but it was a lot of fun! The horse was an American Paint named Millie. She actually wasn’t a barrels horse; she was a retired Western Pleasure horse. I think she may have been 10 at the time. However Western Pleasure or not we still had a pretty good time of 34 seconds on our first run! I think this one moment is when I truly earned my spurs! I have grown a lot in my riding since then, but it was still fun getting to look back. Anyway here is my first timed run. Enjoy!

    This reminds me of my first barrel race....Ahhh good times. I knocked over all the barrels but I was the youngest in my group so i was still proud of mysaelf for trying. I love that you and I are both crazy for horses. It makes it a lot easier to read your blogs than others because I can really relate to most of your posts. Keep up the good work. P.S. Great video.
