This was our 3rd time riding together ever and I decided to run her in the open opposed to the novice!
Glad I did cause we won 6th in the 4D and almost $100 :D
She is a 4D horse now, just needs to be seasoned (so do I). I think she will finish out to be 2D, we will see!
I have tons of work I need to do on my own riding. I have my reining trainer for that and then I have teamed up with one of our 1D superstar girls to start becoming better at barrels!

Glad bubbles went to an awesome home she came out of a small breeding program my parents had for a while. Hope you keep her forever I did not have the time for her and she deserves her own person. She is super handy.

Thank you everyone :D
Hahah even on BHW Bubbles gets recognized! How funny! I PMed you socalbarrelracer! And responded to yours :D
I can't wait to post us moving up in divisions ;)
One of our top girls here thinks she will make a fine 2D horse! Which would be amazing!
We are going to be competing in a couple of local 4D groups.
Wine Counry Barrel Racers, West Coast Barrel Racing Assoc, NBHA 19 & CNC barrels! And I have a reining trainer for horsemanship and better riding skills and will e working with one of our top barrel racers to become a better jockey and rider there!
I really am so excited! And this horse has found her forever home.
I really can't explain it, but the first time I rode her just me and her it was like sparks flew. I think I found my horsey soul mate :P I'd never felt that riding a horse before!
