Last night hubby video taped, sure enough she started her small bucks and crow hop. UGH!! So, tonight my girlfriend who rides with me and is knowledgable about horses is to come by and watch me with her. Crap! I've got to play "rodeo" again tonight. I think however, this time I will have a couple gin/tonics in me. I aint doing this rodeo again sober!! Hell no!!!! If we can't figure it out and she don't bow / respect me I will have to sell her and get a new horse. Safety is involved here and I will lose the fight for sure.

$22,000 for my last fall and we can't afford it to happen again.

How did it go lastnight? Please let us know you ok!!
