Equine Idol ~ Season 3 ~ Original AUDITION [00:15]
*I changed my entry* I'm not sure if the judges read descriptions or not, but I will fill it out just in case. Why should I be idolized? I may not have the fanciest, most expensive horses out there, but I put all I have into them to make them all they can be. I work even harder to be all *I* can be! I have a passion that every good horseperson needs to succeed, and I work hard to get where I dream to go. This is the one sport that I live for...honestly, I can get depressed if I go too long without horses! We bought my most recent horse (the dark bay in the video) out of a kill pen for $450, and although she is one of the most difficult horses I have ever ridden, I push through it and give her everything I've got. She's improving everyday, and she's going to go far. That little pony that is in most of the video is my everything, and we've worked so hard together. We aim to prove that both Appies and "shorties" can be amazing show horses, and our dream is beginning to come true. I'm not perfect...never have been, never will be...I make mistakes, I have lots to work on in my eq...I get nervous, and I get frustrated. But I have this little thing called determination (some call it being stubborn!), and no matter how bad things get, my horses give me what I need to push through it. I love my horses to death, and would do just about anything for them. They're my life. Horses are my passion, and although I've always been the "underdog", I give it all I've got and hope to be an ...

New York Watch: Parting Words [02:17]
Parting Words had something to say Sunday on the Aqueduct turf, coming from off the pace to break her maiden and join the New York Watch, which profiles up-and-comers that have recently cleared the maiden ranks at Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga Race Course. Making her second start, Parting Words veered outward at the break, bumping a rival to her right. She settled into a clear spot in eighth and was kept outside by jockey Ramon Dominguez along the backstretch run, split horses while making smooth headway with two furlongs left, and grabbed the lead from runner-up Celestial Kitten at the sixteenth pole to prevail by a length. "She broke crooked and banged around with a couple of horses and they usually they don't overcome something that severe, but she overcame all that and showed a lot of class," said winning trainer Barclay Tagg. Parting Words, the 7-2 third choice, ran the 1 1/16-mile distance in 1:45.49, completing the final furlong in 5.88 seconds. In her lone previous effort, a turf event at Saratoga on August 27 that has produced two other next-out winners, Parting Words finished fourth after racing three wide on both turns. "She broke a little slow and got hung wide the entire way, and it was hard to judge her off that," said Tagg. "But apparently her number was pretty good, so we had hopes for her. We had a couple of small setbacks with her and we couldn't get her back into a race. It's been a long stretch between starts, but she proved our feelings today ...
