Remember Twist?

The ORHA Spring Thaw Horse show at Fletcher's Horseworld on May 8th and 9th was the beginning of a brand new season on a brand new horse!

"Twist" or "Peppy" as we call her around the barn is a bronze winner at just 4 years of age. Due to very petite bone structure, Peppy was given most of her two year old year off. Training for any horses, and especially for young reining horse can be very stressful on young bones, so in this case it was decided to let Peppy have an extra year to grow up.
Look kind of familiar? Yes, Peppy was in training with me as a yearling. Now, three years later, I have the opportunity to ride her and show her!
The show at Fletcher's HorseWorld was a great experience for us. Peppy got to see all the sights and sounds of the horse show, LOTS of riding (even through the torrential downpour and high winds...), and got to be in the ring by herself in the Rookie Professional class.

Other than a few minor distractions, we had a pretty good run. A few more shows are lined up for Peppy and I this season, we will keep you updated on her progress!
