This Season

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 07:31:57 -0600

So I have really got to crack down! I need to exercise myself more and Gent more. I was really doing well with both for a while but I had a bit of a set back. But I am motivated again. I am really going to do my best to get Gent to Training level this year. the only real problem is lack of money. I want to get out to a lot but I can't afford as much as I want. I will just have to use my time and money as effectively as possible. Plus school, train, and exercise to our full potential. We'll get there!

It is this Saturday!

Cross-Country

So I had a problem with the ditch a while back not really an issue any more he has been doing them without an issue at all. Now the last two shows I went to I got eliminated at the bank down it's a similar problem plus I should have schooled between but just couldn't oh well. But the good news is I schooled at Ledyard a week ago and he was excellent. He did the banks, steps, ditch, everything he was great. He looked the first time at the bank down but was not the fight I had at the show. So I am going to try and go schooling again this Saturday (if I can get my flat tire fixed). Then I am doing Apple Knoll the 26th (just a schooling) and hopefully I'll have success. There BN schooling in the spring was easy so hopefully the Novice will be more challenging. :) hopefully I will be doing the Training level next fall! :)

Do you want to go to the Equine Affair?

UPDATE

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:05:00 -0500

So Gent and I have been doing so well. Our goal is to try and compete at AEC next year at the Novice level. It seems like a reachable goal. I almost qualified at my last show and was hoping to qualify at Snowfields and/or UNH. But Snowfields was cancelled (uggh) so now I only have UNH this year. So I'm trying not to stress myself because I can always qualify the beginning of next year for '09 AECs. I just would rather know before the winter if we were going. Well hope all goes well. I feel like my show season which was going full steam is kind of stalled but I'm staying positive. Trying to squeeze everything I can in so I can do some Training levels next year. I want to have enough Novices under our belts first though. But I was surprised how easy Novice felt at the last show. Of course I was nervous but it really went super smooth and was a blast! So I know we can do it. Maybe Prelim sooner rather than later...lets not get ahead of ourselves! RSS

For Fun!

Ditches re-look

Gent has been doing so well with the ditches. I am feeling a lot more confident. We are doing it great! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

DITCHES!!!

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:18:05 -0500

So Gent has been great! Couldn't ask for more. I totally have my confidence back. Still get nervous at shows but I'm much better. EXCEPT for the ditch. We seriously have been placing top two at every event that doesn't have a ditch! We got eliminated at our last show after being in second, very disappointing you know. But I'm staying positive and we'll get over it. I know we will!

Novice Win!

Glad it was good one for you my first Novice this year and so successful!

Lost parrot tells veterinarian his address

Wed, 21 May 2008 12:10:23 -0500

TOKYO - When Yosuke the parrot flew out of his cage and got lost, he did exactly what he had been taught - recite his name and address to a stranger willing to help. Police rescued the African grey parrot two weeks ago from a neighbor's roof in the city of Nagareyama, near Tokyo. After spending a night at the station, he was transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital while police searched for clues, local policeman Shinjiro Uemura said. He kept mum with the cops, but began chatting after a few days with the vet. "I'm Mr. Yosuke Nakamura," the bird told the veterinarian, according to Uemura. The parrot also provided his full home address, down to the street number, and even entertained the hospital staff by singing songs. "We checked the address, and what do you know, a Nakamura family really lived there. So we told them we've found Yosuke," Uemura said. The Nakamura family told police they had been teaching the bird its name and address for about two years. But Yosuke apparently wasn't keen on opening up to police officials. "I tried to be friendly and talked to him, but he completely ignored me," Uemura said.
