Today I took Mordis, Tiny, CoCo, and my little sister Kaylee to the Beggs Indoor pen to practice. I swicthed Tiny to the left barrel first. It has made all of the difference in the world! Now we are working on him getting that 1st barrel [the left barrel] down. He has soooo much trouble finishing it when it was his 2nd barrel. I have had him to the VET and the Chiro and that helped a TON also. I think the left barrel being his 1st will be easier for him. To turn the left barrel first he only has to C turn it, instead of O turn it. His 2nd and 3rd barrel [to the right] are TO DIE FOR! I have not rode any horse who turns faster than he does. He can turn back so fast on the 2nd and 3rd barrel he whip lashs me. I am going to have to step up and ride him like a pro or he will leave me behind. I trained Tiny, and now Tiny is training me!!! LOL.
Mordis got injured today, he stuck a screw threw his eye socket. It missed his eye thanks to God watching over him. God really was with us today and I feel very blessed that The screw did not puncture any part of his eye it’s self. We had to give him a Tetnus-Shot, and he will be on antibiotics. But, I am so sooo thankful it is not worse. God is SOOO amazing!
My sister rode CoCo she took him threw the barrels four or five times slow, and then she loped him. WOW I was shocked how well they did. CoCo left the alley going A LOT faster than Kaylee or I was ready for. I couldn’t breath he rolled back and left the 2nd barrel and I about fell off my horse. Kaylee just hung in there and rode him great…. WOW is all I can say WOW.
Today had it HIGHS and LOWS. But, at the end of the day as the sun goes down — I am just Thankful. Thankful Mordis is OKAY, Thankful for Tiny, and Thankful my little sister has an AMAZING horse she can ride and soon go WIN ON! God is amazing and I trust him with me whole life. I live my life to the fullest and I go after what I want. But, at the end of the day I know no matter what I do or how hard I try GOD is where it’s all at… I am just Thankful he is such a BIG part of my life.
Tara, Mordis, and TINY TOO!
