*girlish scream* :D

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!! I GET TO MOVE ONTO COUNTY! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! When they called my name for moving on I nearly passed out on my dad! So, I just got done with district and now I am moving on to county and then hopefully region and if I'm REALLY good I get to go to state. County is in exactly one week from now! that means major studying for the horse test and lots of practicing! Tomorrow I am practicing for a few hours, Thursday I have my 4H water party, Friday I am in a Highland Fling (something us Utah people do), Saturday I am going to be in a parade representing 4H clubs, Monday I have a barrel race, and Tuesday I have County! so for the rest of this week and part of next week I am gonna be REALLY busy! This is what it's gonna be like when I Barrel Race or Rodeo Queen, so I should get used to it! XD

What I hope for

At the end of all the 4H shows.. this is what I am hoping to get:


But If not... that's okay, I still got my horse! :)

The reason I am doing all this training on my colt...

One of the reasons why I decided to train my own colt is, because I LOVE black horses. My horse, Thunder is a black paint (he has hardly any white on him). Once I get past the stage of training him enough to let me ride him, I am going to start either.... BARREL RACING.... or RODEO QUEENING!!! :D
            
someday... that's gonna be me!                                    or this could be me also!


So anyways..... I really need to start riding my colt soon, I mean I've been on top of him but never bridled and gone fast then a walk. I should start soon, cause the sooner I do that, the sooner I can start queening or barrel racing.
My dad is putting me in a barrel race soon, the only problem is.... I will be riding my P.O.A. (pony of america). Don't get me wrong, he can go really fast but only when he wants to. Also, I have another 4H show on Monday. I can't wait for the show cause it's my last one and then I find out if I move on to county or not! :D

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!

I just realized it's been a few weeks since I have wrote anything! Anyways, tomorrow (Monday) I have my second 4H horse show and then I will have one more and I get to see if I move on to a higher range! XD
I have also done some more horse training with my colt, Thunder! He doesn't like being sprayed with the hose higher than his legs! He makes this cute face when I spray his hooves! I love him! :D
