I have been super pleased with Blondie!  (some of you have heard some about her)  She is currently 4 this year.  Her last official ride was Oct 20.  I got on her for a whole one arena lap in Dec and then it started to rain and I don't have an indoor and it was already muddy. 

She got her first ride for the year on Saturday, and we just walked and trotted because only my grandma was home.  No buck, no funny business.  Last night I got on her again and since my mom was there, we W/T/L for a full ride.  She did great! So excited to really get to patterning her for 5yo futurities this summer.  Here's an ugly duckling pic (2yo, day we brought her home) and a princess pic from Dec. 

That is super exciting!! And she's gorgeous! Congrats and good luck  =]

Thank you

Gorgeous! Sounds like you have a smart one on your hands

She's stunning! 

Thanks!   I should mention part of the reason I'm so excited that our rides went well is that last year, I ended up sending her back to trainer for a short amount of time and got to witness what what probably a 90 pt ride where he ended up bailing because she wouldn't quit and was headed for a set of panels. 

Love that wine color on her

Shes pretty, love that short back shes got, she should be really quick around those barrels.

I know they say you can "paint um any color" but my favorite will always be a palomino.
