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,
