Horse Shows!

Well I finally was able to compete in a horse show on the 14th! This also happened to be my sisters birthday, she was so incredible helping out and being supportive. I went into this show knowing I wouldn't place very high, or possibly at all. I had only ridden 5 times since my surgery before the show so I know my chances weren't very good. Anyways we went to teen ranch with the intension of getting my confidence back. We competed in Intermediate hunters which was two jumping classes at 2'3'' and one flat class. I never do well on the flat and Nifty was even bucking a little bit! Thats very rare for him, he is normally so easy going but oh well. I sat to it and all was fine, so no pinning in that class. Then the first jumping class I was a little nervous and just didn't put my leg on enough so every jump we added an extra stride, totally my fault and it was just whatever. Then the second course was PERFECT! We placed in that class but only got a 5th. I personally think we deserved better but its hunter, its all political. Plus considering my condition, and the amount of people in the class, I was very happy. There were 18 people in the class and I know some of those girls, and I know that they normally compete in a higher level so the fact I placed with those girls made it feel so much better! I can't wait for the show on the 28th. Hopefully it will go a little better! Either way I'm pleased with Nifty. Heres some photos! 

After our class I was sitting in a lawn chair while he was grazing. I was taking pictures and he was a little confused.

Nifty and I posing with our beautiful ribbon after our division. 

Changed and hes all ready to be trailered back, first we graze and watch some of our friends. His braids are all
out so he has cute curly hair :) 

Again just posing for a picture after everything was done. 

My beautiful sister and my beautiful horse. Victoria was a little scared but she worked hard and even got stepped on
in her flip flops. Shes a good sister. Nifty was very sorry. 

Nifty trying to eat my camera. I think this is such a cute photo. I wish I had a good camera that wouldn't blur like this. Oh well.

Finally a big kiss for Nifty for all of his hard work. I love this horse so much. He is such a good boy.  

Thoughts and Horse Shows!

Well I am finally going to be able to compete this year at an off property show! All along I was complaining that I wasn't able to and now I'm horrified. This happens all the time so I mean, its nothing new, but jeez am I scared. I was so confident before because Nifty and I were making so much progress!! Ive only ridden him twice since I've been back. I have 3 more rides before the show on Sunday. I know everyone says its not about winning... but come on.. it totally is! To compete you're spending hundreds of dollars! Im not going for fun! I'm going to win! ( Or you know, at least get one ribbon ) Any ways I have five days and I have yet to register! I havent yet decided if I will be doing the Eq division yet. Because I've had a whole month off I feel like I've lost a lot core strength.

Wish me luck if anyone reads this! :P

Bailey Lynn Watson!

I thought because I've made a post about Nifty, and a post for Winston, it was time to do a post of Bailey! Bailey is my beautiful cockapoo puppy. She's an incredible little girl with such a good temperament. Her middle name is Lynn and because she's a little wiggle bottom, she's Bailey Lynn sometime. That's her pageant name ;P She's just so fantastic. I have a youtube video I made for her, I would be so happy if you checked it out. CLICK HERE FOR YOUTUBE VIDEO OF BAILEY Subscribe to my channel and blog, I always sub/follow back :) 

Greyden!

Well my day has just been made, apparently my baby boy Nifty has been acting up with anyone who rides him. Everyones reasoning is that he misses me. I can only hope he feels that way. He is my world.  I cant wait to get back in my saddle. SEVEN DAY COUNTDOWN!

Nifty and I down in the big paddock having a
 photo shoot! He just ran towards me in the field.
I miss him so badly.

After riding bareback and I fell off because I decided I'd sit side saddle
 for a photo. It didn't work. But he just rubbed up against me and
cuddled like he does. God Bless Him! 

Winston Churchill

The other day my WONDERFUL hamster Winston got out, so I decided that I would make a post about him. He's a little Russian Dwarf hamster. Amazingly enough he was found behind my bag full of alcohol. I got a kick out of that. He's very shy but wouldn't hurt a fly. He lets the little kids in the area hold him and pet him, hes a big sweetie pie. However the second I open his cage, he freezes to pretend hes sleeping... Love you to Winston!! ;P
