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.
