Extremely late for me..sorry buds! Had a busy day...give out now...started @ 6 am with DH & DS and finishing up the scrap metal trailor and then taking it to the recylcing place..DS ended up with $299..WOO HOO!!! That is so crazy for absolute junk..and I mean junk!!!! Got back around 10:30 in time to load the horse and DD and head for the saddle club to gymkhana show (where you do a series of events and earn points for year end awards)..she did awesome!! She smoked them in arena race where you run to the end and turn a barrel and run back out..she ran it in 8.3 seconds

and the closest to her was 9.7..after she ran that good in youth, DH went and signed her up for the Open class too where she competed with the adults and smoked their butts as well. She ended up placing 1st in 2 youth events, 3rd in 1 youth and 2 open, 2nd in 1 open, and 4th in youth. Then after that show we had a play day where the kids can run in events that are just for fun and you earn ribbons..she came home with 3 1st place ribbons from that...I worked the concession stand for 5 hours..I never sat down from 11:15 until 5:00...I am pooped!!! Eating was rough today...we just did not plan very well so I am skipping supper

..tommorrow is a new day!!! I did not get a chance to exercise today either which was disappointing but tommorrow is a new week.
Lori...There are so many of those trainers and so many techinques...I just guess it is really who you like to listen too...do you ever watch RFD TV on satellite..they run alot of those kind of shows. DS has "Building Your Dream Horse" by Charles Wilhelm..that is a really good read..oh and it is a signed copy

..
Cheryl...my uncle gets several horse magazines and we get his leftovers...DD was getting Horse & Rider but got tired of it...we get Barrel Horse News.
Lizzy...uggg on apartment...hope things go well tommorrow!
Okay..guess I better scoot and get some laundry done.
