OKC World Show

I have been an absentee blogger recently. Life has been crazy (whose life isn't crazy though? What a bad excuse!). I fired the guy who was starting the BO's young horses so I gained seven more to work. Yikes! Unfortunately, I did not gain any more hours in the day. The time change actually took away an hour of daylight in the evenings. No help + less daylight = hectic days!

OT and I took a little field trip up to the AQHA World Show in OKC over the weekend. We had a fantastic time. It was great to just get away and go hang out for a few days. We got to watch some amazing horses show. We saw the prelims of the Sr. WP, the Sr. Western Riding, the Jr. Hunter Hack, and the Jr. HUS. If I ever hit the lottery, I will be buying a horse for the WR. I just LOVE a good lead changer. It's fantastic. With any luck, Zoey and I will be at the WS one day. I can't wait.

Zoey update: she got turned back out in the pasture. She had three days of working in the round pen, wearing a surcingle, and getting handled. She did really well during all of it. My sweet, innocent looking little filly has a bit of a temper though! I put her out in the stud pasture one day after I worked her. I thought that she would enjoy a nice romp since she had been stalled for two days. As it turns out, I was wrong. She was not at all happy to be out there by herself while her buddies were still stalled. She tried to dig her way out of the pasture. She also tried to shove her way under the gate. Naughty, naughty girl.

I was too busy trying to prevent her from making an escape to take any good pictures but I did get a few mediocre ones for your viewing pleasure.

"BRING ME IN NOW!"

Kind of a funny shot but it shows what a great front leg she has. Love that swing through her shoulder!
