The good, the bad, and the ugly!
NWBHA finals was a rough go. Remi got kicked pretty bad by Flirt a week prior, I gave him the week off and he was sound so we headed to finals.
Friday was clean, I could not for the life of me get him to open up and run. We bobbled around the second and third barrel but I was happy with it being our first run in this arena.
Saturday I didn’t ride well to the first and we hit it. Still bobbled around the second barrel and cut the third.
Sunday I had to wake up at 3:30am to Lasix since we were 4th out, I pushed aside the last run and tried my best. We had a good first barrel, bobbled around the second again, and coming into third I felt him drift hard into my outside leg, which he’s never done. Next thing I know we ducked the third resulting in a no time.
Not the finals I had hoped for, but still thankful for every ride I get on this horse.
My mini me had a killer weekend winning over $160 and ended up 2nd in the 4D Juniors! Proud of her and how consistent she’s been all summer!!
