Rodeo Season



Sorry it's taken me so long to update this.  I still haven't been able to seen Cas.  July is a crazy month for all of us.  I've been working a lot and when I'm not, my dad is working to help clean the damage caused by the tornados.  Three touched down in the same area in one night.  He said Cas is doing better.  Not perfect, but better.  I still hate not being able to see her but I'm working on getting her in to see the vet by me.  It's not the easiest to make appointments with them, they are in high demand. 

I've only seen Artemis a couple times lately.  The monster is huge now.  And strong.  She's been so great to tie, and then another boarder made a comment about how good she was and it was over.  Now she won't stand still.  She doesn't pull back, she just feels the need to move all over the place.  She saw Charlie, the other foal, for the first time and she was dying to run over to him.  She's just so much bigger than him, he's about half her size so we haven't let them play together yet. 

Rodeo season is in full swing.  I've been spending some of my free time reviewing barrel racers and I think I've finally come up with a good strartegy.  I can't wait to begin training Socks again, but first I need to bring her back into shape. 

Syndi Blanchard is doing absolutly amazing at the Calgary Stampede.  I've never heard of her before and it's her first time at the Stampede, but she won every day in Pool B, with a faster time each day.  Her latest time was 17.22.  Her and Shotgun are amazing.  I can't wait for sunday to see how they do, they have a really good chance of winning.
