Riding Club & More

I haven't updated in a while so I figured I would now that I have some time. We've both been very busy with work, and horses, and trevor starting to work on his demolition derby car. I got a new part-time job working with trevor's mom at Beehive homes, an assisted living business. I cook part-time and help if they need me. Trevor has been working on his new project with his friend Richard Heinz. They are doing demolition derbies. They're next derby, which I don't think trevor is driving in is August 25th at the Carbon County Fairgrounds. He is just going to mechanic. Should at least be fun to watch! $10,000.00 grand prize. After that they are doing the Peach Days Demolition Derby on September 12th in Ferron. I'm really excited that he is getting into something he loves other than the horses, since he was never into horses before he met me. Pictures will be coming after the derby. As for me, I've been working my butt off at both work & on my horses. I've rode every night for the past week since we did eliminations for western pleasure and reining in the riding club. I rode Reggie and he did decent. He was very hot and has lately been going through a phase where he must be with a mare or he acts dumb. Here are his pleasure class and reining in eliminations and we took 3rd in Western Pleasure and 2nd in the Reining. Reining:

I have also been working with my three year old Reserve World Champion filly for our runs in barrels and poles for Riding Club. For eliminations she took 4th in barrels with a 19.84, so we weren't planning on running her in district, but I found out tuesday that I would be running her due to a friend's horse getting hurt and she was 3rd place. I then ran her in the Barrel Race on Tuesday and she ran a 19.554! I didn't even get her into the arena and she ran like a little champ! I am so proud of her! For poles we placed 2nd in poles with a 24.72. I ran her a week later at a local playday and she ran a 24.235! WOOHOO! I absolutely love this filly. She is truly a dream come true! So now we have district on Saturday and i'm sure I'll be adding more videos and the results as soon as we're done!
