Feels. Like. Forever. I had my ah! ha! moment this week during practice, now to cultivate that...... Happy Clifford was a rock star last weekend!!

Happy Clifford was a rock star last weekend!! Thanks!!! It does feel like forever trying to get to the right spot at the second. We're doing really well at it in the outdoor pens when he's just RUNNING but indoors he gets pretty setty and I have to ride him a completely different way. That presents its own set of challenges. In the little barn we ran in the two jackpots, he SMOKED first & second because there wasn't time to wander away from our spot at second. I think he's going to be my little pen horse, which is super exciting because I've never had one of those!

Looked like he might have lost just a bit of time on the back side of the second or I bet you would of won it Yeah, I didn't see anyone else that placed have a bobble so he definitely made up for it on the straightaways. There was a 14.99 that was absolutely flawless and I'm stunned that we outran them. I'm still trying to figure out how much to handle him back there. Matt thinks I'm asking for too big of a move and stalling him out, which I could be. I also kind of think I might be letting him shut down too early and with too big of a pocket, so he's losing momentum on the back side and having to take an extra step to get around it cleanly. Definitely open to suggestions on it though. This. That was my first thought. Really nice run though!! I could never ride a horse like him.

He does all the hard work and I mainly just hang on and try not to scream! Some days I think I don't ride him very well! (OK most days....) As he gets more consistent with not running off on the back side of second (which he was doing because we weren't deep enough for him to turn without the barrel in front of his chest), I'll be able to trust him more and not GRAB back there. So maybe next year I will have a video of me doing it right LOL.
