Totally NBR, but I gotta tell ya!

Me and Puddin' entered our first LD CTR ride this weekend at Andrews Indiana. We placed second in the novice division of thirteen horses of various age and breed, carry rides of all weight category. This is an eighteen year old "washed up" broodmare that I put under saddle and conditioned and trained myself. We were beaten only because I made an error at the very end. A young girl on a young horse got first place fairly as I erred in my strategy in the last ten minutes of the fifteen mile ride. I clocked in right behind her. Puddin' scored 96 1/2 points out of a possible hundred, and had a pulse recovery of 46 bpm after a 15 mile cross country run.

The horse is fine....I feel like I've been through boot camp! This old horse of mine is AWESOME.
