Hey guys!  I'm so sorry I haven't writeen in so long!  I guess I've been waiting for something exiting to write and now I have a whole list!  okay, so I'll get started!

well, I took Copper to a fun show at Lone Birch (yes, this is the same one that Danielle is talking about on her blog;-)  He was AMAZING!  I was so stressed out getting him ready for it and to make it worse, my clippers weren't really cooperating with me.  But when I got everything ready and we were there, I got my number and kind of sighned up for classes for all through the day because I would think something sounded fun at last minute. LOL well anyway...  The first class we did was halter and he was so good!  He squared up really quick and we got 3rd in that class, and then we went to i think jr. pleasure and we got like, 4th in that one and then to a bunch of other pleasure classes and divisions and in the "green horse" division we got 2 1sts (there were 3 classes in 1 division) and we also took champion in that division!  I was so proud of him!  we did command which we didn't do to well in either walk, trot, canter, or walk, trot which was my fault, and we also did sit-a-buck.  it's when you're bareback while holding a dollar between your lower thigh and the horse!  There was a walk, trot, canter class and a walk, trot class on that one.  I did walk, trot with sit-a-buck because i can't canter bareback unless there's 2 ft. of snow on the ground and that was the first time I'd ever ridden Copper bareback!  We got last place just because I lost my grip when I was trying to get him to slow his trot down-oops!  LOL  but we did really well in all the other classes besides that.  we got firsts, seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths, and... CHAMPION! YES!  

I didn't make it porposley blury but it adds a bit of a dramtic touch doesn't it?  LOL

here's on of Copper and Alyssa and my dad:

Copper's neck isn't that big, it's just the way the pic is. 

oh, oh, oh, you'll never guess!!!!!!...

Casey is going out for training!!!   I'm sooooo exited!  hopefully this Thursday if not then then this Friday!!  My mom, and dad, and I went to go look at his ranch and his traing with the horses he has there now and we really liked him!  He even has this big outdoor ring with cattle shoots adn everything!  it's so cool!  The trainer even siad that I could come and ride with him and maybe do some ground work with some of the young horses he has there!  And depending on if there's tim i might ask him if he needs help with cleaning the barn and stuff because he does it all by himself.  I'm really exited!  Can you guys pleas epray that it all goes well with this?  I'd appreciate it! 

And my dad is building me an outdoor riding arena!  I can practice all I want out there!  barrels, pleasure, bareback, and drill team exercises and bends and... okay, I'll stop, I'm exited! LOL  Well, I'll stop rambling now, I hope you all enjoy my post! 

God bless,

   Hannah ;-)

Hi guys.

           did everyone have a good newyears?  what did everyone do?  I was wondering, I've had some personal struggles the last week or so and i was wondering if u guys could pray for me?  My mom taught me about the armor of God, well, retaught me.  and i drew this picture of it and I'll post it later if u guys would like.  My mom also told me that the armor that they wear in Narnia reminds her of that too.  My family is good and so are my horses.  we've been getting back into the swing of school after the Christmas break (which is going pretty well;)... I think.  My math is getting harder so i'm having a little bit of a problem with it but my mom taught me a differant way of doing it and it's alot esier.  My dad has been kept busy with his job, plus he also works at a farm down the road every other weekend and he also plows a whole ton of driveways on our hill.  (We live on top of a hill)  I'm also trying to get out of the habit of cracking my finger nuckles.  which is kind of hard because i do it when i get nervouse or anxiouse and i've been feeling that alot lately.  well i've G2G

Hi everyone!  My friend Danielle made a blog.  her name is MissJosey101.  She loves it and she would love some comments!  umm...  oh yea!  this is funny.  I was riding my horse Retro the other day and we were playing with our neighbors cows.  they were following us up and down the fence line. hehe and then we were on our way home nd since he is an x-racing horse, (standardbred harness racing)   he was doing his prancing racing gate all the way home. it was really funny.  I don't know what he was trying to race, (his shadow maybe! LOL) and then after that, I took Casey for a walk down the drive way, our drive way is like 1/4 mile long.  but when we got to the end of the drice way, he started sniffing around in the snow nd then he started playing in the snow bank!!  it was so funny! 

  have any of u heard the song "cowgirls don't cry" by garth Brooks?  i like it but at the same time i don't.  what about international harvester bu Craige morgan?  My brother is like obsessed with that song!  he listens to it over, and over, and over, and over, etc. again!!!  I like the song too, but not that much.  hehe  well. G2G

   it looks like casey.  hehe  (kindasorta)

Hi guys!!!  I've got the most awesomist (I know it's not a word) news!!!  Casey let me sit on him!!!! ((((((YES)))))).  but I've only had him since April and before we got him, nobody did anything with him.  So this is really cool!  I'm so proud of him!!!  But the first time I got on him, he just stood there and then  he started lipping my pant leg!!  it was so funny. 

Anyway...  My b-day is in 10 days!!!!  and then Christmas!  and then in the Spring, My friend Carmen better known as blackie (Black Fresian) is taking Bonnie to her house (this will be her first horse.)  but I know Carmen would give her right arm for a horse.  ((((hehe))))  (I would too... let me refrase that, my left arm because I do everything with my right arm and hand.)  well G2G  Hannah

HI guys.  I need some help.  I can't decide on which name to register Casey as.  the names that I thought of Prince Caspian (my mom thought about that one)  and I thought of Start the Party.  but if any of u have an idea and want to tell me, go right ahead.  {I need all the help I can get!}  here is a pic of him!:-)  

HI guys!  this is the recipe for the horse treats:

1 cup uncooked oats

1 cup flour

1 cup shredded carrots

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons vegatable oil

1/4 cup molasses

1/4 cup water (give or take) 

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, make little balls and place on oiled cookie sheet, bake at 350 degrees F.  for about 15 mins until golden brown.  (wich is kind of hard to tell because the batter is already brown so I just see if they're done by pressing on them and making sure they're not soft.) 

Christmas Treats for horses (no pic)

take one apple per horse, roll in molasses, then roll in confectionaries sugar, then take some colored sugar and sprinkle it on.  (I'm going to make on Christmas eve and pit them in refrigerater over night)  that will probabley make them less messy.  but before u put in the fridge, put a popsicle stick in the bottom of the apple.  just make sure you don't let the horse eat the stick. :-/  

I hope everyone likes the treats!!!  <3 Hannah   <3
