I would give you back Grasshopperif I could. Quite frankly the dang horse is about as sound as he was before the accident, the freak. Though it sounds like Tres is taking care of you just fine. That horse is super cool.... |

Bite your tongue woman or your fingers............I can't afford Grasshopper's potential vet bills. |

Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! |  I am getting there!!! He actually has stayed on the cheap since we got the all clear. He likes to jump in the trailer, not step in it, and I swear one day he is going to miss the back of it. Yesterday I said I was going to laugh at him and then I stopped myself because knowing him, he would slice his whole leg open and we would be back at the vet.
Seriously though Tia, get yourself in the arena more. It will do your soul some good. :) |

Location: Oklahoma | Yay!! Congrats to you!! I stopped running barrels in 2006 and now I'm looking for a horse to get me back into it... i know I'm probably going to be rolling around like a sack of potatoes when I try to do anything more than a trot again! Please keep me posted! This is inspiring! |

I used to be a decent rider.......now I am fat and don't have a finished horse. I don't want to go and be 5 seconds off, but if I don't start SOMEWHERE, I'll never go again...........
Lol.....lol.....lol...lol!!!!!!!!! You are so funny. I would like to be fat like you. You are not fat. You may be out of shape but not fat. Silly girl.
I am so proud of you. I think Treis is smart enough to know how to take care of you. Can't wait to hear what you think about how he is actually working. And you are right you need to get started somewhere and here is good. Proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been riding again after some years off, but not consistently. Found me a finished horse, that was a back up horse, not too fast, but she still scares me some.
Great job getting back in the arena and just remember every time you do it, there are a hundred others of us that are riding with you! |

My sentiments EXACTLY! I have met you Tia, and unless you have gained 50 pounds or more in the last two years, nobody but a runway model is going to tell you that you're fat!!!
You GO girl! |

| I am also in the same boat...used to WIN stadium jumping events. 15 years and 90lbs later (lost 50 of the 90) and I have to start somewhere. I have never ran barrels until 2 years ago...we all have to make a comeback somewhere. Good for you for just getting out there. There are a lot of people that are too scared to even try. So congrats! |

| I didn't fall off and I didn't hit any barrels. Don't know what won it as I was # 5 and left, but I feel as if it's a good start. Bought a pussy willow on the way home and I need to go plant it while I can still move. I'm afraid I used a few muscles today that I forgot existed. |
