A Year of Missy American

A year ago I was 13yro and 7months, and got Missy. Today I've had this great girl for a year. She's really improved. When I first got her she had only been ridden twice for short periods of time. Before that she had aborted a foal. Missy now turns off of leg cues and responds really well to the bit. She has jumped up to about 1' 6", has done the trails, and is now starting on barrels.

Barrels

For Christmas I am getting barrels. So far I've gotten one. I started Missy on it and she did really well. I just walked her though.

Sky's Blanket

Missy tried on the blanket from Sky. I think it fits really well. She wasn't scared of it one bit, and didn't think it was strange either. I wonder if she's had one on before. I fixed the front, and I think it will work well. Thanks Maria!

First Ride Totally By Myself

Today was the first time I got Missy ready, mounted, and rode all by myself. She did great. I didn't need anyone to hold her, and was even able to open the gate. Missy is so well behaved; she didn't even care that people were siting in their guns for tomorrow.

Friday

Katherine and I rode Missy around the yard. She did amazing. She still chops on the bit but not nearly as much as she used to. Her head set is also much better, as well as her responce to leg aids. Missy American has accomplished so much in the past year with her training.

Sunday

I went on another trailride Sunday. Missy was great. Really calm, but when I asked her to go she would.
