Finally

Well I never rode Monday cause it was a day off for Jessie and I needed a day to recuperate from the weekend.  Wow it was exhausting.  Then Tuesday I was gonna go but the roads were bad so last night I went and she was good although we just exercised.

I went and picked up my camera and so now I finally got the partial video of me.  I really am upset at myself for not thinking of bringing an extra memory card.  I was worried the batteries might die cause I couldn't remember the last time I charged them but never even thought of another card.  Well now I will always make sure I have an extra one along.  I wish I coulda seen the rest of the run cause I don't remember a whole lot of it, but I think my last cow was probly the best one.  I know the second cow wasn't that good so I don't mind it being missed, lol.

I have been thinking a lot about that weekend.  And I decided I probly wasn't ready to show, but at the same time I am glad I did go.  I finally clued in to how important all the stuff Doug was telling us was.  Not that I didn't believe him when he was telling me but sometimes it takes a while to sink in.  All that really matters is riding to the stop and going straight across the pen.   The cow will pull the horse through the turn if I stop straight and even.  Kinda neat when it all comes together.  Now I just gotta practice doing what I know now.

I phoned Doug last night for another lesson but its gonna be a while cause he is super busy getting ready for the super stakes.  I said not a problem I can wait till he gets back sometime in April.  I was thinking our show on Sunday was busy with 97 entries, but I got looking and his one class on the first day of the super stakes has 135 horses in it.  In just one class!  Its crazy.  Bet it would be pretty cool to watch though, I am gonna try to see it online.
