photo by K. HooverThe jackpot was right next door so I had it pretty easy today. I woke up a bit early and fed the ponies, came back inside and had my breakfast, walked over to enter, came back home and when it was time I got costumed up and tacked up and rode over. Love it!!
It was a double header and my first run was slooow. But it was clean and that's what I was working for.
I had talked to Ed Wright earlier this week and he said that even though I knocked 3rd at my last barrel race he was proud of me for cleaning up 2nd. Well now I get to call him and tell him I had two cleans runs and even earned some cash!
Yep that's right, in the second jackpot I sped up enough to place! We got 3rd in the 3D. Still no speed demon (hey THAT woulda been a good costume!!) but we ran 1.5 seconds faster :)
AND we won "best costume" in the Open ("adult") division!
Hope y'all had a safe and fun Halloween!
You did well!...You also look cool, hey? Is that the early snow?
ReplyDeleteRight next door! That's pretty darn convenient, no packing up and hauling, now I could handle that. LOL
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a great day for you. Thatps pretty cool!
Woohoo, great to win some money, The costuem is pretty cool too, I have always wanted to dress up with my pony but have had nowhere to go.
ReplyDeletegood job on winning some cash! Great costume too! And brr... I see snow! No thanks! I'd be inside by the fire! lol
ReplyDeleteLove the costume.
ReplyDeleteWow-personal calls to Ed Wright? I am so jealous!!!
Good for you and VooDoo.
I have to tell ya, I have really wanted to attend an Ed Wright clinic, but waffled because of what people said 'could' happen, now, Thanks to YOU, I will be booking into the nearest and soonest clinic of his that I can find.
Love the costume! Congrats on winning cash!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! sounds like a great way to spend Halloween. Congratulations on your wins.
