Nationals

So, I'm back from Nationals! We are now 2x National Champs!! We got 1st in Youth, 4th in Theme, and 3rd in Naitonal. :D

Besides that, all is going well. Diamond is doing pretty good. I got on her yesterday for the first time in over a week. I lunged her before I got on to get her thinking and respecting me. She reared a few times, but that was fine. She eventually settled down. I then got on her. She did pretty well at first, but then decided to have a big buck. I stayed in my seat and backed her up. I also spun her in a few circles either way and then made her stand for a few minuets. After her hissy fit, she did what she was asked. I'm still working on her slow lope. I want her slow lope to be really good before I start loping the barrel pattern. She's getting better, just have to work at it.

I'm also probably going to start a new blog. I'll link it here: http://minyathepoa.blogspot.com/2010/07/history-of-minya.html

Enjoy your 4th of July!
