Barrel Racing

I just had to post this photo of my beautiful quarter horse Ricky, this was the best run we ever did together even though we only got 5th! He wasn't mine but I ran off him all last summer, and he was the best horse you could've asked for to learn off. I look really funny because I'm kissing him to the next barrel but I think his beauty really takes over this photo! Reading through my other post I've realised how often I use an exclamation mark and how annoying it really is! I really should stop but I can't!!! It's an addiction! I don't know why I do it! 

New blogger!

I've been horse mad all my life. I competed on the 2009/10 New Zealand barrel racing circuit and had the time of my life. Now I live for riding and barrel racing, and absolutely love it! Moving cattle is great for downtime (only about 20 of them at a time, no huge herds around here!).

I have one dog, Ali, who is totally gorgeous but good for nothing (except making me feel totally loved and keeping me fit!) She's a rottweiler but thinks she is a person. I don't have my own horse at the moment but am lucky enough to be riding an amazing one called Gilbey at the moment, lent to me by my very dear friends H and G. Will keep you posted on our progress through this 2010/11 barrel racing season, fingers crossed!

Here is my darling Ali after burying something in my vegetable garden and knowing she is in deep trouble!

Will post more soon
