Last Barrel race of the Winter series! [00:39]
My boy did awesome! I love him! I think we are understanding each other more and listening to each other more. But anyways, the race... of course it started raining hard before our real race, so that's why I took the turns wide. I wanted to be safe since a lot of the pro barrel racers were slipping and knocking barrels. I figured my greeny should take them a bit wide! haha! but we did a lot better then the other two races. We always have problems with the first because Diamond is a pretty "hot" horse, so he gets all worked up going to the first barrel and makes them really wide! We ran a 22 something! haha! but pretty good since I've only been training him on barrel for a few months. I love my greeny is worth everything we have to go through! ....tho... it would be nice if he was a little less hot..... hot! jk! He is the best horse ever!

Kali riding Cotton [00:23]
Kali working the patter on ''Cotton''. The old man has a new signature during his runs...apparently he's feeling great now that we have him in shape and his weight back up, because at 22 years old he's feeling himself so much he kicks up a time or two! Love him!
FARTING HORSE [00:15]
FIRST DAY WITH HORSE, while running away from my mother, he bucks and farts hahahaha if you think it sounds fake its because i boosted the sound at the point where he farts so you can here it better, because i was standing about 20-30ft away
2013 So Farrrrrr [03:46]
2012 ended with me in hospital with horrible abdominal pains and I then had exams, leading to a long break from riding. This was ended until the snow came because snow is mean to people. But today we went out competing again - yay! And George is back to his old self (we got 9 strides down a 12 horse stride related distance). Went clear in the showjumping phase, but lost my stirrup over fence 3, leading to him swerving out in front of one of the XC fences, so I fell off and he trod on me. i don't blame him though and he was jumping impeccably so I shan't complain, he felt absolutely amazing :) Harvey has been out 3 times this week and I think we've cracked how to travel him and keep him happy. The schooling clip you see is the first ride back after the snow and he was verrrrry fresh! He's coming along amazingly now, and I did have some footage of the last couple of weeks but my SD card was lost at my friend's party. he's been doing simple changes and we just need to get him going FORWARD. This feels strange as usually I'm on a time bomb pony who aspires to be a rocket. But I have clear aims for them both this year and I think they're all within reach, just have to get out there and do it now! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH :)
