Woohoo!! you go girls!! :EX.gif: :EX.gif: :EX.gif: :EX.gif: :EX.gif: :EX.gif: :EX.gif: :EX.gif:

Nice shots! Where did you guys go to ride? The footing looks VERY nice. And JJ - I hate to be a party pooper, but where's your purple helmet?

Just after these shots were taken we realised JJ did not have it on and rob brought it out of the barn for her, the excitement of the day !!!!!!!!

Thanks OSB !!!! we had a blast, now i am going to bed !!!!!

Wow...I like the footing in that arena...

Buck sure is a chunky monkey!!! What a hunk!! Joan you're not so bad yourself!!

C4B, I think red is yours and Bella's color!

tHANKS for posting the pics C4B I just now opened up my computer.............IT WAS THE MBRA's Jackpot at Bein Eoin.....the footing is brand new........and its actually a 3 day event venue........anyway, I was the ring steward, Judge, and announcer, and C4B was doing the runner and cooking on the bbq.........there were no stalls available on saturday so we didnt take our guys, but we had a cancellation so we scooped our two and figured we could use the ring when everyone was done.............but low and behold, there was still an EXHIBITION RUN on sunday, so C4B got Buck all tacked up for me and walked him while I set up the announcers/judges booth and him and I did actually get to do a TIMED BARREL RUN..........I did wear my helmet during that run and would have put my helmet on again had I not been just so out of my mind with GLEE that we were actually loping and running and laughing and having a ball..............so I did actually acheive my BUCKETLIST GOAL although not fast.............WE DID GO IN................YEAH....................and I think one of the MBRA members got a pic of him and I running.....when she sends it I will of course post it..........

Just a quick addition and I;m sorry I ddint put it at the top of my post.......but would like to REALLY THANK BOWIE for giving both Carol and I enough confidence to go try our ponies.......and it worked.....Carol was talking to me from the ground as I was getting ready to go in..........she's not near as cute as Bowie....but the words worked........hahaha

Thought i would let you do the story telling JJ as you are so much better at it than me, i would also like to thank Bowie as i pretended i had him in the arena with me telling me to relax my seat and breathe, Bella was as good as gold, and to be there and see the smile on JJ face was worth a million !!!!!!

Thank you DC i will wear red more often, and i would like to get Bella a red saddle pad, maybe for christmas

Wow, sounds like a blast. It must feel good to find that confidence in yourselves and your ponies.

Joan, you look awesome running for home in that one shot.

That's the same footing I'm planning for my round pen. Fence is going up soon :EX.gif: I'll be able to start preparing for a clinic next spring. Hopefully, I'll get the same magic kick in the pants you gals did

Oh, you'll get the MAGIC alright........even if its just me waving the wand!!!!!!!!!!! hahahah

helmet or no helmet........I dont care...........wheeeeeeeeeee

you go girls!! looks like you had a blast!

great job guys. I'm glad you guys did it. that footing looks pretty nice wish I could have gone
