Location: Riding Crackhead. | My daughter and I got sidetracked last night looking at old pictures and I scanned them in so I'll see if I can get them on here. Looking at some of these pictures I just can't help but think how lucky I was growing up to live like a little hillbilly child and playing with horses, calves, dogs and pigs all day. I tried to give my kids the same opportunity. Here's my kids through the years with who became my favorite horse in the world. She took on the name Baby when we got her at 6 months old and the name stuck to this day. She'll be 16 this year and had to be retired from running barrels quite a few years ago. No one flame me for allowing two small children to ride a 2 year old that they had saddled themselves and were so proud of a job well done.

Location: Missouri | Great idea! I don't have any pictures of me from early days (darn the bad luck NOT), but happen to have several of my daughter.
The pinto pony...she saved and saved her money from birthdays, Christmas, selling puppies. Finally she had what would probably be enough. "Mommy, I want a pony". Me: ok what kind? "A puddle pony". Me: ummmm ok, what's a puddle pony? From my 5 year old, with a look reserved for totally ignorant mothers..."A white pony with brown mud puddles splashed on him". Duh. And I found Puddles the pony! Had watched him at a sale, but passed because he was a two year old, broke to drive, supposedly broke to ride. Two days later I was at a friend's house - they had bought him. Seemed like fate. Yes, a 2 year old green pony for a 5 year old isn't ideal, but I loved his mind. She was sitting on him bareback while they shot fireworks. They sure learned a lot from each other over the years! She turned him into a showmanship and walk trot pony supreme..won high points, loved him to death. A little snot sometimes outside the arena, step in the gate, and he was automatic. Fast forward five years, she outgrew him, sold him for a very nice price to another family with little girls, and bought her rockstar, Cheater, a 16hh Easy Jet/Dry Doc bred roping horse who she has taken to rodeos all over the Midwest and even to AQHA World where she presented our country's colors on him. Pretty awesome for a then ten year old and a ranch horse! Puddles taught her to love horses and hang in there, Cheater has taught her to RIDE.

Location: North Dakota | I'm game for sharing some pics!! 
This is when I was 4 yrs old.
This picture isn't all that old (around 2006), but was back when I was doing the rodeo queen stuff.
This picture was maybe about 10 years ago, but love this picture of my gramps.

Location: Oregon | Here's one from one of my sister and my very first horse shows (I am in front). I believe it was 1998 or 1999 - only because the truck we are standing next to is a '99 that we got brand new late in '98. Batty was our first horse who would have been around 9 or 10 years old in the picture and lived until he was 21. We did everything possible to do on him including showing, gaming, cattle events, and everything involved in high school equestrian team. He NEVER had any sort of professional training, bud he won us countless buckles, money, tack and other awards.. Batty was a papered pure bred Arabian, and he was the only one who didn't know it... He thought he was a QH.

LoudAppy - I see you are from our area - so probably! She showed him Green Hills and MSSCA for years!
Griz - thank you! He is super handsome - that long white mane and tail gave me fits on show days! My fave was costume class - she warpainted him and dressed up Indian for a couple of years and also outfitted him in full native Arabian. At that age, I didn't care if she dressed him up like the Easter Bunny if it made her happy. Once they let her go into the actual Native Arabian class with the real ones so she could gallop him. Beautiful sight! |
