Horse show and Mx qualifier

Wow this last weekend was extremely busy even for us, LOL Dalton Bill and Kenzie were at Hangtime all weekend working and Dalton racing, he raced this weekend with more aggression than we have ever witness and was able to qualify for regionals........sooooo proud of him now hopefully on to Loretta Lynns. He has come so far these last 2 years, none of this would be possible without the kindness and help of the Reads and Klinger family. We are soo fortunate to call them our friends and family. The girls and I made a trip to the Hoosier horse park for their very 1st Combined Test (dressage,and jumping) they were absolutely wonderful, Hunter and Bentley placed 3rd and Avery and Sassy(the naughty pony LOL) placed 5th. So proud of my girls they never faltered they stuck right with it and finished the job. Bentley absolutely loved every minute of it, he has found his place in the show world, I believe he will excel in this field. Sassy as well is a great little jumper, she shows so much talent and seems to really enjoy it, now she just needs to submit to Avery and quit giving her such a hard time, but Avery doesnt seem to mind, she just keeps plugging away and never lets it bother her. As she gets stronger and more experienced that will all come, Everyone at the show kept commenting on how beautiful Bentley was and how cute Sassy was. the girls ate it up and I think the horses picked up on it too, as they showed off a bit. Aiden spent some quality time with Grandma, he preferred not to go to the track or the horse show. I think he just likes being spoiled by Grandma LOL, we
were all sooo happy to get home and see the little charmer, we missed him terribly, one of these days maybe he will show interest in a sport or activity and then we will be off in another direction Oh Lord Help Us LOL. Here is a video of Hunter and Bentley and their dressage portion of their combined testing. I would put more on but this high def. stuff takes forever.

Grid Work on Sassy and Bentley

The weather has been great the girls have been working hard with their horses getting ready for a show coming up. We have made several trips to Riley hospital in effort to get some answers on Dalton we are getting closer, they thnk he has a tethered spinal cord. They assure me this can be fixed, in the meantime they just keep adding medication , not sure what to think about all this. Trying to have faith in the Dr.'s and to trust they will do the right things.  Motocross is going extremely well, the Dr's have given us the go-ahead in this department for the time being. Here is a short video of the girls doing some grid work with Bentley and Sassy at one of their recent practices.
