PLAN CHANGE...Off to Canada We GO!


Well seems like our plans have made a turn..... as we are now getting the awesome chance to go and work with Tricia Dahms, in Canada...for a year! I haventhad time to write on here, due to my frantic running around getting everything ready! I will be moving on sunday (August 30th) and arriving in my new place on monday aternoon. I am so excited! I will be loacted in Edmonton, Alberta, about 14 hours away. Sadly I can not make it home or Christmas, as its the buseist time for us! I start at 5:30am and end around 6ish every day, Though I get one day off a week I will be spending all my time with all the horses!

Who is Tricia Dahms? She is a former Canadain Olympic Rider, Very well known rider. She hasa working student Program and i just so happend to get in this year!

Yes, Klassy is comming! SO im even more excited! I have to wait till Oct to get my monster up there, and it will be hard with out her there for suprot in that first scary month, away from home and everyone/everything I have ever known.

I will write on here AS MUCH AS I CAN. I will also explain more about this program later.

Updates! Its about Time Right?!










Well yes I know its been a long time since I have really had the time to sit down and tell you ow me and Klassy are doing, but here I am, and we are doing awsome! We have explored trails with our friends, put maney hard working, sweat producing hours in on the loungline, and are finaly starting to move farward from behind and are even cantering undersaddle now! We no longer walk all over people or kick out when wraps are being applied to legs or toss are heads when the bridle comes out, no no we are much improved and moving forward in our jurney. I am so proud of how far we have come as a team, and I am am finding it hard to see the improvements as much as others do around me just simply because I get so caught up and dont look back at were we started from, now 7 months into our adventure and friends and family are telling me we have come so far, yet I keep telling them we are just starting out still. I have been taking pictures and such since the last time I wrote on here.

Our 1st show or undersaddle work and ground work will be in Sept as I get ready to go on Vacation to Cali for two weeks, Miss Klassy will be gettinga month off.
This summer (mainly this past two weeks) it has been un barable with the heat, we are breaking records and trying to stay hydtrated as much as possiable, so we havent been doing a whole lot, thought this week it has really started cooling off and we can slowly start up again. We have deffently grown and we dont have that "Baby face" anymore, we havea horse face!
More when I can write!
