Sunday, August 3rd

I finally have a chance to sit down and update everybody on our two boys Buddy and Ricky Bobby. Lets start with Buddy. As you know me and Buddy ran into some training issues quite a few weeks ago. After several attempts to correct the problem (with lots of help and advice) we have decided not to push Buddy's training any further. I will show him "in hand" at the Wyoming challenge but not under saddle.

I believe that who ever adopts him will be able to continue his training successfully as long as there is no time limit. He is a great horse but needs more time to feel completely comfortable with a rider.

Monday, August 4th

Bath day for Buddy. Today we gave Buddy a good groomin. He stood great even when three of us were either scraping, scrubbing, or rinsing him. He even let us clip his ears. Right in the middle of it all the trash truck showed up. Boy did he do good. He didn't even spook once, we even chased it down the driveway. The rest of the week I will be preparing Buddy for the Wyoming trip.

Wyoming Challenge


Hi everybody,

We are back from Wyoming and did we have a good time. Buddy did better than I could ever have expected. Many people fell in love with him. We only competed in the in hand class and 2 minute "best at" portion. He did everything I asked of him without hesitation. We scored very well. He was adopted to a great family from Wyoming. They have a very large ranch and I am confident he will be well taken care of and loved. I would like to thank everybody for their help and support during Buddy's training and your continued support while me and Ricky Bobby prepare for Fort Worth.
