Spent some time with my boy Pan today, now that the Hoedown is over. I gave him extra carrots for just being an overall good boy. Really appreciated Pan's qualities even more after needing to push Bueller with double crop and spurs through the whole Hoedown presentation!

Finally heard from the American Royal about the National Championships in Nov. Kansas City ,Missouri is a long way away so I'm investigating borrowing a horse for the event. Making lots of phone calls and will up date you when thing are a bit more organized. More to follow.

The Reins Hoedown was alot of fun and a great success. I ended up riding Bueller who was a bit sluggish but we made it through to the end of the program with no major hicups( although I must say I was worried I was going to have to carry him the last few moves). All in all it was a beautiful day!
