2012 Dixieland Nationals Day 1 (13 Intermediates) [1st Motos] [01:36]
For Saturday's 13 Intermediate, we had 16 riders in my class which means we had a semi. This was my first race as a Intermediate but I raced 6 Intermediate races before and only won 1 of them at Peachtree City. I was really nervous and did not know what to expect, and when I crossed the line 1st, I just fistpumped and yelled "YEAHHHH!!!!" Thank you everybody who watched, and supported me this moto and the semi, sorry the semi is not posted, ran out of memory and had to delete it so we could film the main.

New York Watch: Kinda Spicy [01:57]
Trainer Tom Albertrani had high expectations for Kinda Spicy, and the Darley Stable homebred did not disappoint on Sunday at Belmont Park, coming from off the pace to debut a 6 ¼-length winner. With the victory, Kinda Spicy joins the New York Watch, which profiles up-and-comers that have recently cleared the maiden ranks at Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga Race Course. Her page is located at . "I was expecting a big effort out of her today," said Albertrani. "I liked the way she trained beforehand. She looked like she was ready to put on a good effort today." And she did just that, settling behind horses in fourth up the backstretch and around the far turn, splitting rivals as the field straightened for home, and drawing clear under jockey John Velazquez's hand-ride. "She was very impressive and did everything professionally," said Albertrani. "She was a little nervous in the gate, but other than that I liked the way she sat off the pace. She took a lot of dirt and got a good education today. Johnny took her behind horses and felt very confident. He felt like he always had enough horse. When he pushed the button, she responded." While Albertrani realizes it's a big step from maiden to graded stakes competition, he believes the Grade 1 TVG Alabama at Saratoga Race Course on August 20 is a logical long-range goal for Kinda Spicy. But first he'd like to run her in an allowance or overnight stakes before or during the early part of the Saratoga meeting. "It was a small ...

Kelly Tennick rides Noddy, a thoroughbred ex-racehorse at Orwell Arena, 12th June 2011. [03:25]
Kelly had to endure that pet-hate of all show-jumpers - 4 faults. Don't worry Kelly, this is just the start. The show at Orwell was the first of many we hope, and although there are bigger shows around, me and my wife Christine haven't had this much fun at a local show in ages. The prizes were also top-class. In addition to getting a red/gold rosette (nice touch), there were also some impressive glass trophies for class winners. This show would be good for all riders that want a well organised and fun competition where everyone is made to feel very welcome. Well done everyone at Orwell Arena. The organisers would probably wish me to add that although the arena doors are normally closed during each round, they will be left open if the rider requests it due to a nervous horse.

Equine Idol ~ Season 3 ~ AUDITION [00:15]
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 inspiration to those ...
