OK..this is a HUGE BRAG ALERT! so run...<g>...
remembering that this is Katie's first year in 4-h...last weekend she
took Mach to the county 4-h qualifying show, in an effort to go to
"states". I thought it was a good idea, but did not expect her to
qualify...she did! in both cl***** entered...took a second in
showman****p and a first in halter geldings (ok. mach did it!)
but the best is watching my daughter bloom as a rider. I missed it
last night, but got full re****ts from Katie and Fred...she rode while
jogging him, the BO's dad, Mr. B came over and said "lope"...ok, katie
tried to say "but i'm just working at walk and jog tonight" "LOPE the
mule!"...she did, both directions...then, he said to her "go lope a
figure 8" to whick katie put up a fight..saying "but we'll end up on
the wrong lead" ...however, she did it....
and the re****t was "mom, as i was turning him to start the opposite
circle, i just sat there and switched my legs, and then he kinda did a
skippy and ended up on the correct lead!"...
my daughter's first change of leads <g>.....and what a good boy Macho
is!
