Hello Everyone!
Most of you know I adopted Badger. Well his previous owner is helping me sell him and she is also sending me some other prospects for my next horse. Well, she sent me a horse that is in Camden, SC. The funny thing is, she owned him when he was a few months old, then she had her baby girl Abby! She sold him to a lady who is now in California but the horse is at her moms place in Camden.
Me and my madre went to look at him last weekend and absolutely fell in love!!! He is a 16.2hh light Bay TB. He has never been raced, he has olympic bloodlines! and he was gelded last month, and is turning 5 in May. When we were there they put a western saddle on him for the first time in 2 years! He was funny at first and then eventually worked into it. I even got to sit on him:) His training was put off b/c they didnt want to do anything to his growth since he was still young and a stallion. I'll have lots of work to do but I'm looking forward to it. The part I absolutely love is his personality and he also has NO CONFIRMATION FLAWS!!! He is built so perfectly its ridiculous! We are going to get him this coming Sunday....and since Badger has not sold yet, I am paying for him myself!!!! Here is a link to my youtube page with some videos of him on there. Oh and his name now is Dub but I'm renaming him Bently...b/c he reminds me of that luxury car...to my mom it reminds her of the roy royce (sp?) whatever that is.

Hey!
Well Zones went great! Well, Saturday wasnt that great, I knew I wasnt going to have a good ride, it was just one of those days. Anyway, I got a great draw Sunday and won my whole class! I got 1st out of 12 riders!!! So...you know what that means! I QUALIFIED FOR NATIONALS!!!! It is a HUGE deal! Its being held in Conyers, GA where the Equestrian Olympic games were held in the 90's! I am so excited, this is the first big thing that has happened to me in the horse world:) but you know it wont be the last! Our season started out with about 10 Highschool riders and 8 Middle schoolers. So a total of 18 riders and 4 have made it on to Nationals including me:D I've been training really hard.
Also, some barn news! JP has been shaved! The girls are going to their first show since the summer this weekend! They have also been practing really hard (trust me, i'm their trainer and their legs are on fire by the time there lesson is done:) Well I'll let ya'll know how NATIONALS go!!!!
