it wont be the last!!

Well me and Sassy had a great first show and it deffintaly wont be out last! We left friday morning for Clemson and that first trip did pretty well. We did have a flat tire on one of the trailers but not Sassys trailer! We actually had to unload Em, Jessie, and Pickles in the gas station parking lot! It was hectic but we finally made it to Clemson! We gave the ponies their dinner and after they ate we tacked up and schooled. I'll tell you one thing. Me and Sassy made a complete fool out of ourselves when we schooled that night. Sassy had never been ridden in a covered arena and everything in it was spooking her! I also think the smell of the red clay bothered her cause she kept smelling the groud and was like, "OMG! whats this stuff????" haha. But the thing that supprised me was how slow she was at the show!! AT home (especially when we jump) she is like... bookin it around the ring but at the show I had to use a crop and we still looked like idiots!! haha. She also isnt used to fillers in jumps so she refused and hesitated A LOT! But thats okay! It gives me something to work on! So then Saturday came up and it was time to rock and roll! We kick started the day with the gournd rails divsison and we got a fourth in the Hunter part and a thrid in the equitation part! I was thrilled (even if it was ground rails... haha :)! Then we went into some flat classes and we got a second and third. Last but not least was X rails and we got a third in the equitation portion! I was sooooo happy!! I put Sassy away and at the end on the show HOlly asked me if I wanted to compete in the low gamblers choice jumpers and of course I said yes!! The jumps were 2' - 2'3 and we got a sixth in that class! We almost got fifth but Sassy refused one on the fences. Thats okay with me though!! Now that we are home we are jumping 2' and 2'3 a lot and we are working our way up to 2'6! We tried it the other day but she kept just barely tapping it with her hooves. Shes gotta pick up those front legs! haha. Another thing we did now that we are home is jump our first oxer !!it wasnt very high but we made it with ease! Sassy's first oxer will not be the last! :) IF KATIE DRUMMOND IS READING THIS WILL YOU PLEASE COMMENT ON IT SO I CAN GET YOUR BLOG??? I TOTALLY LOST IT BEFORE :P :):):):):)Bailey

get ready boys!

Dont mind my title, someone got me saying that. Boys is just everyone. haha. but anyways, I say that cause me and Sassy are ready and we are coming to get all yall!! Sassy has been doing extremely well with training and it is safe to say her health is back to normal! Besides her being slightly underweight from the colic she looks awesome!:) She has regained her muscle mass back amamzingly and her eye is looking semi better. Of course it wont go back to normal until it gets cold but this is looking good. So it is up and early tomorrow to leave for Clemson! Sassy will ride in Seans trailer and I will ride with Sean and Kaijsa. It should be fun. I am entering the Ameboa division while in Clemson because of me and sassy being so new to it all, but it should be good. Sassy and me are looking excellent so I wouldnt be suprised if we got a ribbon or two! But of course i'm not going to go cry in a corner if I dont. haha. Well thats it for now yall, see ya!

Life really is sweet

So over the past couple weeks I have been at blackberry I have really sat back and noticed things. I have noticed how people can act in either good or bad ways. ONe thing I have learned is that you cant choose your parents and you have to love them no matter what. Yea sure all parents can be a pain occasionally but you just gotta live with it. Another is that you CAN choose your friends and you have to choose them wisely. Dont just be friends with them casue their rich or because you think you will be cool hanging with them, its just not right. I've also learned that I have the horse of a lifetime. She may not seem that way to the rest of yall but for me I couldnt ask for anything better. Her whole personality is just the absolute greatest and she really trusts me. I have found things that Sassy will do for me that she would run from with other people (EX:laying her head on my shoulder). and she will jump things just b/c I ask her to, even if she doesnt want to. I have realized all these things and I couldnt ask for more.
