A group of us got together and ordered some games equipment from France. We got a bunch of sword rings and flags. It arrived last weekend. Yeah!
I spent a little time Saturday night putting the “castration” bands on the flags to hold the fabric flag part on.

This week for Throw Back Thursday, I have a photo from 1995 or 1996 (I think). I am sitting on a mare named BoBo. She belonged to Stevie Miller, who I leased her from for a few years. I am practicing at home and lined up to go through a race. I rode her with a vaulting strap.

On New Years Eve, Lindsey and I watched the Mustang Millionaire series. This show followed a few of the competitors in one of the Extreme Mustang Makeover Challenges. In these competitions trainers have 120 days from to take a Mustang from wild, to performance day.
Bobby Kerr, was one of the competitors that the show followed. He was the 2012 winner of the same competition. Here is his winning performance.

Yesterday Poe and I got in a nice 30 minute hack before dark. It was 16 degrees with the wind chill.
When it comes to riding in the cold, or really, doing anything in the cold, it’s all about how you dress. I put on winter Kerrits. They are fleece lined and have a cargo pocket. I LOVE these pants. I put on an Under Armour cold gear mock turtle neck top with a long sleeved t-shirt and a hoodie. Then I pulled my nice warm coveralls over top. I added my Muck Boots and a hat and gloves for good measure.
One thing was missing, my ear warmers. They are black double thick fleece triangles that Velcro to the harness of a riding helmet and cover the ears. I have no idea where I put them.
Later I was sitting at home and I thought I might try making some new ones. But, I was snuggled up with my dog so it had to wait.
