Live coverage!!! LOLOL
I tried really hard to stay clean yesterday but...lol. Sarah Lee's left side looked good but oh, the right. Looked like she had been rolling in mud. After I curry brushed I still wasn't happy with her legs so I went over her with charcoal. That did it. Dust all over me. And tell me how her left feet pretty clean but the right packed like concrete.
Good:). I thought maybe you were thinking he was a better rider then you. I don't know if he is or not, never seen him ride.
Just wanted to tell you not to think that. Not to compare youreself to others. From the pictures you posted you looked fine on the horse. Good seat.
I think women tend to work harder at "proper" horsemanship then men, so progress slower as far as speed. It's a man thing:). Men tend, IMO of course, to be more whup and ride type riders and think that if you can't go fast your not really a rider. I'm NOT saying this about Eddie because I haven't seen him ride, but from my view of watching alot of men they look like $#!* on a horse, even tho they are going fast, elbows flapping, bouncing all over the horses poor back at the trot because they think posting is for sissy's, sawing away at the horses mouth, leaning too far forward and legs behind them, or to far back, hanging on to the horn or the back of the saddle to keep their butts in the saddle. They don't take the time to get good at horsmanship skills before thier yahooing:). It's like they're running before they can even walk. I've never understood why everyone thinks if you can't "run" your not a rider. There are more important things then speed.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you, you look like you're doing fine, I wouldn't be jealous of anyone:)

I feel so silly posting this but he's not the one I'm jealous of. Okie is still my horse too, dammit:')
Well take him back:). Tell Eddie to find his own horse. I know for years Mack tried to get me to share horses with the kids. What difference does it make he'd say, as long as you get to ride. Well it does make a difference. You have to like the horse you ride or you won't ride. If you like Okie better, then ride him. If Eddie doesn't like the mare, get your money back and keep looking. If you don't like that mare, you'll start finding every excuse in the book not to ride, and when you do it you won't enjoy it as much.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do. I'm just speaking from experience.

I rode Trash this morning for a little more then 2 hours. Came in and sat for awhile then went out on Rusty for a bout 1 hour. He is still saddled out there and I want to go work in the arena a bit, but darn 2 horses a day is hard on old bones:). My back hurts, and I think being outside is not helping the asthma any. REally windy and lots of dust blowing.
~sigh~ but I really need to if I'm going to get him in shape and going good on barrels. Consistency,,,most important.
Becky
Glad someone agrees with me about men:)
Just got in from working Rusty in the arena. Didn't take long. He did so good, there was no reason to drag it out. It's amazing what a difference the way I'm turning the barrels now makes. So much smoother and easier on horse and rider:)
Becky
Those old girls can be stubborn too. The school horse I used to ride built like a truck. My instructor used to tell me "kick her, kick her" If she was in one of her moods though she wasn't moving until she had too. I laugh caz she likes to stop in the middle of the road when we leave in our truck. You don't get by til she's ready for you to go unless you get out and move her. I'll have to get you a pic.
Which type of barrel racing do you like? I found 37 on line.
I'm glad that everything went so well with Rusty. It's so darn rewarding when things like that happen. It's like you're one functioning unit.
Like that's the last thing you needed to be told huh?
Becky
No. I pulled up barrel racing patterns and there were 37 different types of races.
Yeah, it is a real rush, to figure something out by yourself and it be right:)
