Tara here.
My good friend Megan Oglesby is here from Arizona, she flew into ride with me and just hang out. I smet Megan in 2006 when I sold her BackBoneNRice. She flew in yesterday and we’ve been busy busy. We went to Add Waddells (www.addwaddell.com) today with Jet Flasher, “JET”. Add is just awesome. Add and Megan both rode Jet while I was the on looker.
While we were at Adds, Red Wooten was there. Ironicly Mr.Wooten trained BackBone N Rice, “Charger”. I bought Charger in 2005 from Lacy Cochart, and I ran her for a year. I sold Charger to Megan in 2006 and she was Megans first 1-D horse. Charger now belongs to another great friend of mine from Oregan, Alishea Jones. It was really neat for Megan and I to be able to met Mr.Wooten and to see RISKY CHRIS. Chris is just amazing. It was awesome that Megan just so happen to be at Adds today, here from Arizona, and Red just so happen to be there today also.
Tonight Megan and I took Jet Flasher to the jackpot in Wetumpka at Bray Farm. Megan ran him to the left without a tie down. We ran him in a Loomis Gag and a Bonnet. Megan lost her sturriup after the first barrel, and he is so snappy in his turns she just cruised to the 2nd and 3rd. She held him back coming out and ran a 15.3… That is GREAT!!!!! Her and I were super excited because he could have been a lot faster. She was loping when she crossed the timers. He also worked amazing yesterday night at home, we took him threw the barrel at home in a halter and he really worked awesome! He did great today at Adds, and even better tonight at the jackpot. Add really helped up on his 1st barrel. We all agree the horse does go better to the left, but he desperately needed the tie down taken off. The tie down was causing him to become very stiff and he was stalling out the back side of his barrels. We worked a lot on building a pocket, keeping his shoulder up, and keeping him shaped in his turns and that sucker worked like a MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!!! 
He was so easy to deal with and he wants to work. I love a horse that loves their job!!! I am so proud for Megan, she is a great horsemanm, she has a tonof talent, and I appriciate her coming up here and riding my horse
Well, we’re headed to bed… Megan and I have a busy day ahead of tomorrow. We’re going to ride a few colts in morning, and then I have to have her back to the air port tomorrow afternoon… I may just keep her……. Muwahhahhahhh
