Pictures from fair!

Ok i didn't do to bad at fair this year! I kinda forgot about the blog after fair so now im going to add pictures. I compared them to how chubby Lacy looks now. She looks a lot skinnier! Enjoy

The things i do for this horse!

So i havent been posting in a while. Sorry! I have been focused on my other blog, but im back! As long as i don't get distracted..
Little miss Lacy has been getting well, to put it nicely, Chubby. Its almost like riding a couch. So far we haven't worked on much other then bareback so i can get some balance work and she get's out of her stall. We have different ideas of riding bareback. I, would like a slow collected jog. Lacy, however, prefers trotting around like crazy while im trying to stay on. Dork of a horse! But i can officially say i do a lot for this horse. I woke up this morning around 3am. No not thinking about getting breakfast or any weird things that tend to run through my brain in the morning. No i had forgotten my bridle at the barn. So this morning i convinced my mom to go run out and get the bridle with me.
When we got there poor Lacy was worried she was going to have to be ridden this early in the morning. But nope! I gave her a hug then ran out with the bridle. She's going to be surprised to see me back again tonight!  That's not all. Earlier this week i wasn't feeling good at all and had to call in sick for work. They were extremely angry, but i think they got over it? I practically crawled up the stairs and begged to go to the barn. The next night, after not being able to go out, Lacy was clingy! She didn't like it when i walked off without her and didn't want me out of her sight. I just wonder how shes going to feel when i can't go out tomorrow. Poor pregnant pony. I'll make sure to grab some pictures tonight. But for now im going to post a few of her. Warning she's pretty chubby!

 Lacy getting ready to show!

Second place in Horsemanship! Because she sneakly did a flying lead change without me knowing.

Horsemanship

Horsemanship again

Pleaure, wasn't our best class she was a tad speedy

 Pleasure again

We only placed in one class. But the funny part is i almost didn't go in because she wasn't pivoting. But we went in there and did pretty well. We need to work on a TON though!
Im going to add another post about fair!

County fair this week!!!

Aaahhh where has the summer gone?!?!? Yesterday i got my class schedule, but enough about school. I rode Lacy last night and it was super hot out. I tried doing some of the reining pattern and she was amazing!! She likes going fast or i think i like going fast? But reining seemed to come back to her! Tonight im going to wash down stalls at the Event center. And pick up some pattern packet thing. And tomorrow im going to double check the stalls, go to pre fair briefing, and ride Lacy in both arenas before midnight. Oh and on top of that move everything in! Talk about crazy! Thursday i have class after class after class. Its going to be a CRAZY fair!

And here's some pics of the lovable pony.
And one of the ugliest spiders i have ever seen. Did i mention im terrified of them????

 Im not sure what distracted both of us

 Shes eating my foot :)

 Haha the sleepy pony (and i haven't even ridden her yet)

 Chaps (the mini) And Smoothie (lacys baby) Liked to follow us a couple nights ago. It was really adorable and weird!

 Gate time!

And thats all for now!

I have been lazy!

Ok so i have been busy AND too lazy too post. But im updating it now! County Fair is in a little less then a week. I have been practicing like crazy to get trail worked on. Since Lacy has been sore i have done only walking and a little trotting. I hope we are going to be ready for fair. We have been improving our side passing. So far she is able to do it quicker and better. So im hoping she will be ok by next Saturday. 

Im not entering a lot of classes at fair, but i want to be really prepared for the ones im going into. We managed to set up a trail course in the arena to desensitize Lacy for the actual trail course. Her headset is getting better and she is finally backing up better! My only thing i need to figure out how to do for fair is... flying lead changes! The only class we need to do the lead changes for is reining. And that's the class i would like to do well in. Along with trail, working pleasure, and western riding. I honestly don't care about Western Pleasure at this point, I will just be happy if we go in and not die! Oh and we got a super cool bridle that perfectly matches the saddle! Although i forgot to buy a curb chain so the first ride with the new bridle was actually pretty funny! At least i know she behaves well. 

Lacy got ridden by her owner at a reining show this weekend. In my opinion (i don't know a lot about reining) they did really well! Except for the wrong lead, excuse me i mean lovely counter canter it was cool to watch! Ok that's all for now! I promise i'll try and update it more.

 Ok, ok i know these are old pictures, but i think she looks adorable in them :) ^ she was attempting to eat cones.

And this one just because she looked cute!

I love it here!

I love being out at the acreage! It's very quiet and NO drama! We didn't place well enough to go to state but in a way im glad this way we can get a ton of lessons in and kick butt at fair! (or so we both hope) Lacy's getting sliding plates on Saturday!! We are doing only 8 events at fair but it's going to literally be event after event after event. Lacy had her feet trimmed a couple days ago and i go to bring her in from the pasture and onto the cement and she was acting sore. After i tacked up i tried to lead her out of the barn she could barely walk. So i put her into a huge stall gave her food and she became a happyish pony. But it meant we couldn't work on stuff for fair. And on top of that i am going to have a lesson this week! She was better yesterday but i still gave her the day off. More later :)

Pictures!!!

I totally forgot to add some new pictures of Lacy :) enjoy!

 Sleepy pony!!

Districts

So i went to districts today. I was very proud of Lacy for having an amazing pattern! However we missed our right lead so we weren't able to go to state. Im kinda glad im not this year this way i can get a TON of lessons in with my trainer! Hmm i have no clue what else to add other than im so very proud of lacy and the fact my face is sunburnt BAD! My face feels like its on fire. Lacy and I are also moving back out to the owners acreage Saturday! We were going to move tomorrow but i was too lazy to put my stuff in the trailer and i wanted to get home to chill!! Also i get to take Lacy and Marilyn to County Fair. Im SUPER excited!!! Hopefully my trainer will help me improve a lot and show me how to really ride Lacy. Oh i should add along with my face being burnt the back of my hand are too. Lets just say its PAINFUL! Also im scared for county its literally going to cost around $200 which is not including trailering. So trailering and County together are going to be around $300!!!!! I really need to save money! And on top of that buy an english saddle and bridle. Sigh i never have any money!!
