Dear Bryce

You were such a cool pony but I just found your replacement.

Hope you have as much fun as I'm having.

Love,
Your ex-mother.

New kiddo!

Bryce and his new kid already went to their first show together and ended up champion!! Go Bryce!

SOLD!

Nobody's Fool has been sold!! After a 4 month lease where he packed a chunky butt, nervous, little kid around, they returned him due to him being "too experienced" for the kid. At first I panicked and wondered what I was going to do with him but I ended up being able to get a trial lined up before they even brought him home from his lease (thankfully)! And hallelujah they fell in love with him after two days and two weeks later- SOLD!

Now of course, I am never horse-less. So I would like to introduce Hometown "Huey". Huey is my new 3 year old, 16.2h, TB gelding. Huey will begin full training in the next few weeks and I will be starting up a new blog for my new adventure.

the CUTEST thing ever seen...

 The trainer sent me the link to the last show they went to and I am in love. How could they not want to buy him!?

 

This is probably the best picture Ive ever seen. Bryce has the greatest look on his face....of course, that is no where near as good as the KIDS face! He says, "hang on kid, this is our spot. We got it!" 

I am just so happy to see these. 

Everything happens for a reason....

The people who have Bryce love him! He is kind of testing the kid but the trainer is all fine and dandy with it because she believes in kids actually learning to ride these days (shocking, I know!). They took him to a little local show last weekend and he was Reserve Champion! It makes me so happy. I am working on getting his green status reinstated because the kid isn't ready to jump right into the Larges. I think that would be only thing that could stop them from purchasing him at the end of the lease....I should know in the next few days.

In the mean time, while B is being leased, I won't have too many updates for this blog so I am starting a new one (as soon as I set it up I will post the link). My life has taken a GINORMOUS turn...I was supposed to start Cosmetology school the second week of August. I was all excited but the closer it got, the more jobs started popping up and the less I wanted to go. I debated and debated and talked and talked and decided that I would drop out and go into horses. I started grooming and riding almost full time and was afraid when I started school full time, I wouldn't have time to ride anymore. I went to Kentucky to groom the week before pony finals and got to visit my Nana. As soon as I got there the first thing she said was, "Quit wasting your dad's money, we all know you will just drop out". That was it..I knew I couldn't go.
A week after I decided 100% that I would not be attending Cosmetology school, I got a call from a girl who worked at some barn called North Run. She left a message saying Michelle Zimmer (my old trainer from when I went to UK) gave them my number and they needed someone to come to the Hampton Classic ASAP. J quickly informed me North Run was Missy Clark..one of the TOP equitation trainers in the country. I played phone tag a few times with the girl and next thing you know she said they would fly me up to the Hamptons and I could stay forever but I just needed to be there by Monday. MONDAY!!! Monday was two days away....I was also already out of town in South Ga at a show with J.

So....I called Colton, my dad, and talked to Julie for a long while and decided to go. I just couldn't turn this opportunity down. So here I am currently living in Vermont, slightly homeless, traveling around to all the top horse shows and working for one of the most well-known equitation trainers.  In two days, I left everything I've ever known.....

Things really do happen for a reason....and my Nana was right- I would have dropped out of school.
