Friday night, we went out to this bar that our friend was playing at.. He was in a band and decided that the band would get back together and have a performance. so we show up and they were playing.. and people were watching the Clemson game..
well this drunk mexican.. seriously.. like didn’t speak good english at all comes up and body slams me at the bar…. so I in return pushed him as hard as I could and he fell on the floor.. then got back up.. and it didn’t take much to push him he was weeby wobbling as it was…
then.. he got up in my face and asked me why I did it.. and I exclaimed to him.. “oh my GOD! did you see that guy run by?!?!?!” and he look really perplexed and went to walk away then I guess figured out I was messing with him and turned around and went for my face.. So I went to kick him and take him to the ground.. but had to settle for the Shin shot…. I sooooo wanted to get him on the floor and spur him…. but, he got kicked out instead….
So after one very satisfying waffle house trip at 2am.. we went home… and went to sleep…
bright and early at 6am. I woke up.. bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to go shoot on Ragnar.. But I hooked up the trailer and got the horses loaded and off we were to the competition…
now, I had put on ski silks, 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants, with wool socks.. and I was still freezing…
so I had to add hand warmers into my boots and then one for my nose.. and two in the pockets of my car hart… Holy crap it was cold… but, by God I was GOING to shoot off that horse if it was the last thing I did… and OH My My MY that horse is a beast!
A few people told me I was giggling the whole time riding him… and I didn’t think I was actually giggling.. but, once I saw these pictures this morning.. I said.. uh huh.. I was giggling… look at the smile on my face..
the first stage was pretty darn good… that horse turned that run down barrel and I couldn’t shoot as fast as that joker was running…. but by the 4th stage I had this all worked out.. and even some of the steering issues I was having.. I got the tie down all set and the rein length… it was all a learning experience… and he is FUN to ride.. I just can’t explain… you can feel him when he turns a barrel.. he just explodes like coming out of the racing box…. I t-totally love this horse and I’m so looking forward to us learning each other and becoming a solid unit like Maggie and I were… 🙂
tonight it is supposed to get down to 12 degrees.. and a high of 28…. so, we are all going to be cold and frozen tomorrow!
