My 2013 Valentine


It's a new year and a new start.
One, that I might add, allows us to live near our girls for the summer.
I am so looking forward to rekindling the spark with Ms. Jubilant Heart.

CFD 2011





Miss K and Charlly placed in CFD this year! They are quite a team and have quite a proud fan base! 

She's in the $$$!

 

K's first barrel racing winnings from The Sheriff's Posse barrel racing events!

K and Charlly's first CFD

 





















Kahyim and Charlly embarked upon a new adventure in 2010. 
They were Cheyenne Frontier Days contestants!
With Aunt Chris as her coach, she found a love for barrel racing and a sturdiness that wasn't there before.

Jubilant Gets Her First Pair of Shoes


On May 9, Jub got her first pair of shoes (therefore becoming a real member of the K-girls-haha). TJ Fox came out and shoed her for the summer months. She was very well behaved and quite relaxed. :)
Kahyim also ran her first ever practice barrels this evening (video to be added soon).

Jubilant's First Ride Outside of the Pen

Yesterday was Jubilant's first chance to shine in the open spaces and she did. Chris, Dan, Kahyim, Dad and I all went for a couple hour ride north of the McRady homestead.
Dad rode her and she did a fantastic job, rarely showing reluctance.
We even came across a decent size body of water by the windmill and closely following K and I on Charlly, she walked right on through it more than once.
She doesn't even seem like the same horse she was just a few months ago mostly due to Dad and recently Dan working with her and implementing the techniques used by Clinton Anderson in his training videos.
I have worked with her a couple of times and also am enjoying learning more for myself about riding in general using Charlly.
Kahyim not only loses interest, but rebels against the hobby, the second she feels pressured into it (clearly her mothers' daughter) but thoroughly enjoys her time with Charlly when she just gets to relax and have fun with it. She giggled and talked the entirety of the ride yesterday. When we walked through the water she exclaimed, "This is AWESOME!" I think this summer she will really bond with and develop a love for riding.

Guess that's all for now...

And Then There Were Two...

Amidst a tornado-filled afternoon, came this beautiful gift.
Introducing: Jubliant Heart (third name still to be decided)


Just as I was when the horse trailer pulled up, I'm speechless as to how to explain the excitement and gratitude I felt when receiving this paint.
I am her first owner, she is six years old and will be registered as soon as I can come up with a third name. :)
She is halter- and saddle-broke but has never been ridden.
It is my newest adventure:
