Wow! Do you ever feel just like your summer is just flying away? I mean every two weeks we write our blogs and it seems like every two days! The fact is that at NLHTM, TIME FLIES! So I’m going to give all of you a little ‘mini’ update of what has been happening in the  past couple of weeks.
So first my mom and I went down to Tennessee to do a clinic for some of our good friends that compete in the mustang challenge with us, Chase and Kerri Dodd.  So that was really fun, we took two of my horses, Jamie and Jacuzzi. They were both just little gems. We got there late at night and unloaded the two horses then went to bed for just three whole hours! W e got up and started setting up our booth for the clinic. Then people started to arrive, the next morning.  We got introduced to all of the people attending the clinic. Then we started.  Each demo was about three hours long and there were two going on at once at two places on the grounds. There were four clinicians in all and my mom was one of them. So we would do that in the morning then have lunch then switch off clinicians  and do the same thing in the afternoon. We did that for two days.
A couple of weeks later we loaded up and went to a reining show with our reining bred horses. We took my horse Jamie, Nikki, a reining horse that we are showing for a client, Kahula a two year old horse that we purchased at the Oklahoma reining sale in 2010, Durango, Lauren’s mustang that she made the top ten with at the 2009 Mustang Challenge, and then Sparrow and Viggo the two mustangs that Mom and Lauren are competing with in September at Texas. We took Sparrow and Viggo just to get them used to going different places and get de-spooked to a lot of stuff too. On the first day of the show I entered in two classes and I won the first class and the second one I got second in, and I was showing Jamie in both of them. On the second day I got first again in my first class and  in my second class I got third instead of second. I learned a lot and really like going to the shows because it gives me a chance to compete!
So I’m in a little fun club called Pony Club. They held a camp at Center Hall and you can bring your own horse(s.) I took Jamie and then later in the week we brought Apple Gray over, my little Shetland/Welsh pony. He is amazing to jump too! So anyway at camp you can receive lessons, play games on your horse/pony, go on trail rides, ect. and it is basically just a really fun time for you and your horse to bond together and to make lots of friends. The camp was five days long total, but was defiantly a lot of fun, and worth it!
Tomorrow mom and I are going to go to another reining show. We will stay there on Friday and over the weekend and take Jamie to show, Viggo, Kahula, and Cisco, just to get them out and about. So I will keep all of you posted on how I do in that show!!
Have a great summer and try to beat the heat!
