Location: west of East Texas | Way to go Cole and Abi! Those are two awesome kids! Are y'all doing the ETYRA?
After Chase ran Geraldine twice on Saturday, Cash (16yo daughter) ran G on Sunday at a double header High School Rodeo in barrels and poles. 1st barrel run was 16.4 (15.8 won), 1st pole run was 21.3, 2nd barrel run was 16.5 (16.0 won), 2nd pole run was 21.4. If consistency won, she'd be all over it. Three of the four runs were good for points/checks. Pretty sure she'll make State Finals in poles.
I'm especially thrilled because in September, Cash's squirrelly horse (not owned by me) flipped over backwards on her at the 2nd HSRodeo as they were going in. 6 hour emergency room visit. She decided not to ride him. Ever. Again. Made me happy. In October, Cash had a melt down at the alley on Geraldine, just scared to death, screaming/crying for me to come get her. November had me standing in the holding pen right beside her. Cash still has me stand nearby before she goes in but isn't crying when it's over anymore. Even though she knows Geraldine is little sister's horse, that G is ready, willing, totally responsive, and honest; even though Cash makes an awesome run once she gets in the pen; Cash is having a real hard time getting from them calling her name to entering the arena. I'm thrilled that she is still wants to enter and that Chase was gracious enough to let Cash use her good horse. I'm also saying special thank you prayers that G seems to be handling the double duty well and letting Geraldine know that this is temporary.

Location: MD | I'm so glad to hear of C&G's success, as well! I adore that mare and am so glad to hear that she is enabling Cash to overcome her fears. What an incredibly scary ordeal she went through! |

Awesome that Cash is getting over her fear. We are not doing ETYRA. We are doing PYRA. I wouldn't mind doing ETYRA, but spring time gets busy, busy for us. |

Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! | Hey guys!!! Quick update! We have not forgotten about the video but I don't know squat about getting a video uploaded unless it is on my ipad and I just have to press a button so you are on my husband's time. He has had a big difficulty getting it narrowed enough down that it uploads even to youtube. But he is trying and will get it on a DVD as soon as he can. I am pressing as much as I can. :)
Also, as an FYI, he called to tell me he can't get the sound right. So if you ahve a question on the video of what Andy was saying, you are going to have to talk to him. Sorry!!!
My whole thought on the video was for you to see different riders try the drills and also to give you a video of the drills for reference. It isn't going to be the best video but hopefully something you can use to remember what you learned.
So thanks for your patience, I sure appreciate it!!! |

I truly believe that any video that y'all are able to provide will be helpful. I actually can't wait to see it! You see, sometimes I learn more by watching myself teach than anything. |
