2010

So 2010 has finally came to an end and so much has changed.

I moved to a new barn and got an amazing new trainer. She's taught and is still teaching me so much. She stuck me on so many different horses from a 4 year old Arab gelding to a 3 year old (I believe?) paint mare bred and trained for Western Pleasure. I've developed as a ride so much from what I use to be like when I first showed up at Lyndsys barn and now I'm her second hand man. She sticks me on new horses and helps me work with her training horses.

Lyndsy also helped me sell my first horse Skylar. It was tough, a lot of people came and gone and she has yet bee sold. But lyndsy found an amazing couple who own their own little barn behind their house. They had two horses but one died so they were looking for a companion for there current horse. They loved her, and she did so good under saddle for the lady. I'm so glad that she finally found a loving home and I hope she can live there for the rest of her days.

I showed seriously for the very first time with Clue and it was very successful. We may have not won any of our classes but we did so good otherwise. We had our downs too, where I had to learn that not every judge will like you even if your horse gives you an amazing ride. I've met so many amazing people, and a lot of not so nice people. Sadly with me getting a new horse I won't be able to show clue anymore. It's going to be sad seeing someone else riding him at shows. But I trust the rider that we picked, and I can still ride him at the barn.

Thanks to Lyndsy bring me to her training barn that's where I found Riley my baby! I purchased him and now here we are, working our butts off, our up and downs, from being lame in all fours to being sound, fat and happy.

My goal for Riley and I would be to show Walk Trot at Beat the Heat show series at West 20 starting January 22ND. He'd have a little over 30 days under saddle so its a high goal but the way Riley's going, being so laid back and accepting I think the goals reachable.

So as good as 2010 was I'm super excited to start the year 2011!


Oh and on a none horse note, I'm starting my CNA class in February! [:
