Hannah Montey

This is my girl Sunday. Couldn't resist bringing her home with me from Texas.

HM Oopsy Daisy saddled for the first time! Merridocs Mud Bus Greeley Independence Stampede 2007 Contact Me: Hannah@hannahmontey.com Well, what a winter I've had...lots of excellent runs over a lot of Texas countryside!  I travelled everywhere in Texas this winter it seems; Corpus Christi to Laredo (long story...lol), Fort Worth, Houston, San Angelo, Stephenville, Conroe, Dublin, Brenham, Kerrville, Belton, Amarillo and on and on...whew!  I had a blast traveling to some places I had raced before and not done very well, only to come back again and kick butt!  I also made it a point to go to some new places like the Fort Worth Stock Yards Rodeo and was SO glad I did.  Bugs and I started a 9 for 9 rodeo or 1D money winning streak there that week-end.  It was a difficult arena, but an excellent experience for Bugs, Ginger and me.  Great food and shopping in Fort Worth, too!  Bugs placed 2nd both days, but had a much improved run on Saturday after I rethought my 1st barrel approach.  Ginger placed well in the second round at San Angelo Rodeo and held her own in the 1D average at the tough races held in Stephenville.  She's such an amazing athlete and can compete with the best in the world no doubt.  Bugs kicked butt at the big open race in Conroe and even outran Cassie Moseley and the amazing Might Man (not to mention hundreds of other tough competitors) to win a sold 1D check.  I was really proud of both horses and am definately looking forward to competing in the Mountain States rodeos this summer. HM Oopsy Daisy is now a broke riding horse!  She is as tempermental as her grandma Flower and will make me work for it, but I think I have a freaky fast and athletic horse on my hands.  She was very good to start (no bucking to my amazement) and has been full of surprises from day one.  God only knows what He has in store for this little mare.  She may be the next Big Thing!  Lickity Split LuLu is my futurity project for 2012.  She is AWESOME!  I can't wait to start hauling this mare.  LuLu is huge but rides like a little horse.  She is so collected and floating in movement.  She spins underneath herself and will be a natural on the pattern no doubt.  Shes is very capable and big, just behind in miles.  I have really high hopes for her career!  I think she will handle big pens with ease and bad gound conditions based on her natural ability to stay collected.  She is by SuperDeKas out of a daughter of Rare Form.  Think she can run?  Thank goodness she can turn, too!  Look for her in the near future.

Merridoc's Mud Bugs @ Salina UT 2009 A BIG THANK YOU to Nisa Berry, Lori and Booger Hermann, Gran and Pop Pilgrim, Lawrence Solomon and family, Judy and Cam Raulston, Brandy Raulston and Erin Thornton for helping me while I was on the road in Texas.  Between directions of where to go and places to stay when I got there, I really appreciated all the help I got and continue to need all the help I can get.  Thank you all VERY much!  Hope to see you in the future for more fun and excellent food.  My horses and I enjoyed ourselves everywhere we went as long as the snow and ice wasn't preventing me from functioning! I want to give a SPECIAL THANK YOU to my 2010 sponsor of several rodeos--DR KEN RICHARDS.  Without YOUR support I wouldn't have been able to enter half of the rodeos this year.  I thank you so much for your continued belief in me and my team of horses!  MUCH APPRECIATED my friend!  You've certainly been a huge help in getting me there this year.    I have two 3 year old geldings for sale at this time.  HM NeverFlyinPastMe (Champ) and HMOtoesFlyinHero (Spidey) are doing great and I would love to show them off if anyone is interested in purchasing an awesome prospect!  I also have a started 4 year old gelding for sale and he can be viewed or ridden anytime.  Tesoro Sierra (Phoenix) is triple registered AQHA/APHA/Palomino Horse Assoc.  He is as gentle as he is amazingly beautiful and futurity eligible! To everyone's amazement Frenchgirl Pearl is doing excellent!  Her accident happened in our front pasture October 2009.  She survived a huge set of fractures and an extensive surgery that would have ended the life of most horses.  Dr Amy Jergens took two titanium plates and a handful of screws and pieced her P2(pastern bone) together again--amazing!  Pearl was literally High Ho Silver from the minute she woke up in the recovery room.  While it was hard to watch and things never seemed to go as expected or planned, Pearl has essentially healed from her injury.  She is running circles with just a hint of a "hitch in her getalong".  Her quality of life is second to none if you ask her!  I would say she is the property mascot as she has the run of the whole place and takes advantage of her every opportunity to go crazy!  Big THANK YOU to my KENT FEEDS sponsor with Pearl.  She would not have survived without her grain--just ask her!  There wasn't one day that went by that she didn't ask for her grain.  Even in unbearable pain, she still wanted to eat her grain.  She never looked in poor condition or lost too much weight and I attribute that to her quality feed program compliments of Kent Feeds and Pearl's obvious desire to EAT IT.  As far as I am concerned the proof is in the horse pudding and they LOVE IT!  It has proven true when I needed it and that's what matters most.  All of my horses are doing great and I'm definately happy with my Dynasty Pro feed.
