I was so excited to make a run on her. Her slow work has been excellent but unfortunate situations happen. I was very proud of how she collected herself and we finished the pattern slow.
The arena staff was nice enough to let me re-run her as an exhibition time only during the next drag. Which was a much slower pace.

I think your second run looked great! You should be proud! I was a turtle making my first run after two years off but you looked great!
Thank you! She stepped out a little wide coming out of the first, but that could have been from being a little sore from the fall. Normally her first barrel is so snappy.

I'd be so proud of her for finishing up and listening to you like she did! Congrats on your "comeback" and nice mare.
Thank you! I'm extremely proud of her! I owned this mare as a long yearling and sold her as a 4 year old to a girl in Texas that intended to run her at the futurities. She was tossed around 3 or 4 times and just so happened I saw her ad here on BHW and bought her back a month ago! I'm so glad she's home and she'll never leave my farm again!
