New Stuff

Erin

Yesterday I went to the Cowboy Race on Maybelle. It was a blast, and Maybelle did every obstacle better than I ever imagined she would. We opened (and closed!) every gate, herded and successfully "branded" and trailered the cows, and even side passed over a 6 foot log. She galloped as soon as I picked up the reins, but would halt and stand while I leaned over to grab something, or to open a gate. We roped the "steer" on our first try, and crossed successfully through the snake pit. But most importantly, we conquered all 25 obstacles, and had a lot of fun!

Next week is the hunter pace and I am so excited to bring Maybelle! My family will be in Colorado, so I will be going with Heritage Farm. I am super excited, as it will be my first hunter pace ever!
