Location: Texas | So a little history..
I got Lucy in April 2011. Two weeks after I got her she got pigeon fever in her flank and it had to be cut out. After that, from May-October 1, 2011 we won over $3000 at local 5D races, open rodeos, ANHA (2D), and we won a PRCA rodeo that filled my permit. The week after she won Hempstead,and bought my rookie card, she strained her suspensory doing something in her stall. 5 months of rest and she came back in 2012 to win another small PRCA rodeo and some local stuff, but she wasn't working RIGHT. July-ish or August 2012 she tested positive for EPM. It took two treatments, once with Oroquin and once with Marquis... I got back on her Jan 2013 and she still wasn't right. I decided April 2013 to breed her because we weren't getting anywhere. April 26, 2014 she foaled a beautiful palomino filly by First Down French. I started legging her up lightly in the summer and got more rides in once we weaned her baby.
This is the first run she's made since March, 2013. A 14.7 won the barrel race and she was a 15.12. She actually outran my mare Bunny by .02. Bunny had a good run going but blew off the third and almost ran home on the wrong side. Oops. I knew when Lucy left the alley that she felt GOOD.

She is very bendy. Usually she's really snappy around the first but I won't complain at all about her pattern given the circumstances. Dena Kirkpatrick trained her and told me she was one of the few that turned like Martha. I was like, I hope I can ride that LOL |

Can you imagine what her baby will turn like given her parents turning styles?! I hope it works <3 |
