Day 35

I rode Princess at home yesterday. The arena is finally dry enough. I set up a little trail coarse and had a very good ride. I put my show saddle on her and it fit her better than the other one. I also switched her to a snaffle, which she took to very well. She is cantering by voice command now. She is just doing awesome!!

KCNH said...: Very nice. She looks like she is doing very good for you.

I never thought about entering her in the race. What day is the race. No promises but i suppose i might if i think she is ready. The race is very hard. a lot of very good riders and horses. I guess if nothing else it would be good exposure for her. Are you going to enter Princes?; January 12, 2009 at 9:38 AM

Princesses Bio

I am a five year old mustang mare from the Beattys Butte Heard Management area. I was rounded up from the wild in the fall of 2007. I spent a year in the corrals in Burns waiting to be adopted. Finally I was chosen for the Extreme Mustang Makeover to be held in Albany, Oregon on March 21st. I can be adopted by anyone who qualifies by the BLM to be an adoptee. I am 14 hands tall. I love people and love to go trail riding. I like long walks on the beach and grazing on pasture. I am gentle and easy to ride. I am not afraid of anything. My full name is Sapheara Warrior Princess. If you would like to meet me you can see me at the Expo.
