Over the past few months I've been working with Faith and Dakota a few times a week. Because they don't have shelter in their lot they have to be brought in during bad weather. When they are in I take the time to groom them and to lay across their backs. I've also been able to ride Dunny and Bubba a few times. Our weather has been really extreme but when it's in the low 30's or higher I try to get in a half hour or so of riding on each.
In January I attended the annual Iowa Quarter Horse Youth meeting and the awards banquet. I was elected to the position of Timed Event Point Keeper. Last year I tracked all of the regular youth points but we are moving this year and we thought that would be too much work. There are three of us who will be tracking points and I'm looking forward to getting to know the other youth members this year.
Dunny and I had a really successful first year. We attended three weekends of shows and earned second place in the high point awards for barrels and poles and fourth place in the ranch horse pleasure.
Today we had no school and I took Bubba for a short ride. It was really nice this morning but now it is snowing and the wind is really blowing. It's to be warm again by the end of the week so hopefully I'll get some more riding in.
