Day 92

Well I should be in Tennessee today but unfortunately I just got out of the hospital.  My appendix ruptured and I had surgery and a week in the hospital on intravenous antibiotics.  Rosie is available for adoption for $125.00 if anyone is interested in her.  If not I will be returning her to a BLM facility in Pauls Valley OK in a couple of weeks.  So very disappointed that we couldn't be there to compete she would have done very well.  Thanks for following our progress.

Day 84

Sorry I haven't updated the blog in a while. Been down with a stomach bug.  Worked Rosie a little yesterday and today and she was pretty good for having almost a week off!  We leave for Tenn. in 5 days!!! Hope we are ready!!!  Will try to post pics tomorrow.

Day 77

In 2 weeks Rose and I will be in Tennessee getting ready to compete against 20 other youth and their yearlings.  Hard to believe I have had her for this long.  Seems like I just picked her up yesterday.  Getting more than just a little nervous.
I took Rose on a little road trip yesterday to see some friends and show them what she can do....kind of went through the required maneuvers and our freestyle routine if we get in.  They loved her of course.  She LOVES people!  
Just worked on basic stuff today to keep her soft and responsive.  The pictures below are from our trip yesterday.

Day 73

WOW what a day Rose had today!  If she acts like this in Tennessee we are gonna do really well!!!  She had been acting kind of counterfeit for the past couple of days and I was getting worried but today was awesome!  We were having a little trouble loping in hand but got that lined out today too.  Getting more nervous but really looking forward to our trip and competition!
