Horse Showing Fever

During the winter when there is no Pleasure shows going on, I get the Horse Showing Fever. Kind of like Cabin Fever where you can't wait to get to the cabin. Where I can't wait to show my horse in Pleasure and Drill Team. I have been looking for a new show outfit for Pleasure and I think that is getting me the fever. 



I love this shirt but it is sold.



It is a Heartland model rail shirt.

It is so hard to find a shirt with the right color blue I want. That shirt would have been perfect with my right size and everything.

Also another thing that is getting me into wanting Drill Team is that the videos from the MN State 4-H Horse Show just came onto YouTube. Yea! We got 1st in both of our classes, Freestyle and Compulsory. I am riding D.C. in both of these videos.
For Freestyle, I am carrying a black flag and my horse has only 1 white sock (The other horse has 4 white socks) :-)
For Compulsory, it is the same except we aren't carrying flags. At the first part of the video, I am the one 2nd from the far left with my back to the camera.

Show these to your family. They are really cool to watch!
That's it for now,

A Home for the Dog

After 3 weeks since finding a female yellow lab, she has found her home where she belongs.
We were about to give up hope and ready to send this dog to a rescue when last Friday night we got a phone call. The man on the other end heard that we had found this dog and told us that he was looking for a dog like that that had been missing for 2 months. Turns out it was his dog and she returned to old home. THANK THE LORD!!! Since then we have heard that she won't leave his side; he is even tripping over her. Also the day that he picked her was the anniversary of his son's death 4 years ago. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Team Penning

Last Monday, my sister and I went to a private Team Penning practice with our Drill Team. We didn't bring any of our horses since it was cold out and the horse trailer was put away for the winter. All we thought we were going to do is watch the others work with their horses on the cows. Our Drill team coach brought an extra horse which I rode half the time. Then my sister got on him for the rest of the time while I got on one of the parent's horses. So I had a lot of fun riding 2 extremely different horses in 1 night.
I hope to post more more often. Sorry!
