Somethings Wrong

Ok so I just tried to post pictures and the link came on but the pictures didnt. So I'll give the Blogging website a few days to fix "itself". Its happened to me before I just have to wait a few days. Anyway, Paula has brought Amador to J&B for 3 or 4 days for his feet to recover from all the rain. I am gonna give Carly and Sydney a lesson today for the upcoming schooling show at Mullet Hall. I'll bring Badger so I can ride and condition him on the trails when the girls arent riding! ***Sara

What the Heck?

OK so my slideshow would not show up everytime I logged in so thats why I took it off. I'll just post the pictures individually.

Shows!

Hey Everyone!

I've been to 2 shows in the past two weeks! The first show was the seaisland schooling show. I wasnt going to show but this lady asked if I wanted to do jumpers so that there would be more than 2. I got 2 thirds which is good though because I was only 3,4, or 5 seconds from the others. We also took my student ( Its so weird to say that!) Sydney. She made up JP's show name "Paint me Proud!" which is such a great name! She won her whole division! Jenn talked to the judge and asked what she thought and the judge said that she was perfect and she didnt have anything to fix!!! Then I went to a PSJ show this past weekend and I went into the 2'6-2'9 and got 3rd out of 6 riders and I also got 28$ off the show bill! Then I went into the 3ft class and got 2nd out of 3 people! We were gonna go into the 3'3 class but nobody entered. Badger did sooooooo good!! We've been practicing out speed and me letting him go a bit more. June 20th i'm going to Mullet Hall again for the schooling show with Sydney and Carly and maybe Bailey. Syd's is gonna go in Walk, Trot, Canter and so is Bailey. Carly is gonna go in walk trot. I'm taking Bodie in the non-restricted walk trot canter u/s, eq, and 18 in. Thats all for now! Pictures will come very soon! ***Sara***

Oh and Jenn got a new Toyota Tundra so we get to pull the 3 horse trailer now!!

Change of Plans!

Hey everyone! I've got good news! Jenn is gonna still be my trainer! We have talked and have decided that Badger needs more training and wont be able to do the things I do if I go to another trainer, since i'm progressing rapidly. So she's gonna train me through the Summer and Fall and we'll see where we are in the Winter. I'm not sure if i'm supposed to tell anyone yet so i'll wait for a few more days to tell you guys some great news! Anyway! I do have news that I can share. I've been riding Bodie to get him back into shape and maybe even get to show him in the Fall. He is a really really fast learner. Badger has been doing really well with his Dressage and Gymnastics. Were practicing for the upcoming PSJ show this weekend. Were only going Sunday because Jenn has to work Saturday. Thats all for now! ***Sara***

Branching Out

Hey Everyone.

Well, nothing has been going on latley with me and Badger. We've been practicing for the PSJ Show at Mullet Hall next weekend. I've been giving Sydney and Carly lessons. Sydney might be going to the Sea Island show this weekend in a few walk trot classes. Jenn has been teaching me for about a year and 6 months. Throughout that time I have learned sooooo much and have had the best experience. We were talking in the car one day and I promised her she would have a "backstage ticket" when I make it to the Olympics and she would have dibs on anyone of the imported horses I get and train to sell. We have made a bond like no other friendship and we will keep that bond throughout our lives! She is my first real trainer who I look up to and admire as a role model. She told me and my mom a few months ago that I will soon "outgrow" her. We have decided that that time has come. I am now looking for a new Jumper trainer who could also do more Dressage. We have had Buzzy give us someone from Indigo, so we have to call her and check her out. Jenn is still looking for a horse and is gonna start training everyone else at the barn again. All for now! ***Sara Winch***

Counter Canter & Dances

Hey everyone! Well lately Jenn has decided that I have earned the right to learn the counter canter since I've been practiced and perfected what she has asked. So Thursday night we started the counter canter! Badger was kinda confused at first and kept switching to the correct lead! Eventually we got it and now I have something new and challenging to practice on the flat. As for the jumping I have been working on making my 2-point better and Its coming along really well. Last night (Saturday) me and Bailey went to the 8th grade graduation dance. It was really fun! Here are some pictures of us!

Aiken Show

Hey Everyone! Well I got back from the Aiken show last Sunday and it was 10 times better than the last Aiken show! My first class was hopeful jumper 2'9 and I was first to go! He or shall I say we because I have to admit he would have jumped it if I pushed him a bit more refused the first jump so we didnt place in that first class. Then my 2nd class I got a 3rd place with 49.8 seconds and 40$ off of the show bill!!!! My 3rd class was good but at the second to last jump he knocked a pole down so we got faults on that. I was going to do a 3 foot class but I got him a new bridle and i've never used a figure 8 before and instead of putting the loop around below the bit I put it above which rubbed him so we scratched that. It was really bothering him so I didnt want it getting any worse. Overall we got amazing pictures! Here are some for yall to see! ***Floating on cloud 9***
