I have heard it over and over again that I can do better and she won’t ever be like the 1D horses. People don’t realize that a little over a year ago Trigger and I were running 30 second pole patterns and 25 second barrel patterns. We have put our hearts into this sport and trust each other. She is now running 26 second pole patterns and 19 second barrel patterns which is more than what I have ever wanted out of her. We may not be the next nbha champion, but there isn’t a lot of people out there that can say that they have trained their own horse, out of the wild, and have as big of a connection as we do. This is only our 2nd competitive show off property and she is placing in top 5 in almost all the classes. She isn’t the biggest or fastest, but I know that I can trust her with my life. We put our hearts out for each other and that’s all that matters. I’m sorry if you believe that you have the right to tell me that she isn’t gonna be fast enough to hit 1D pattern times, but let me just remind you that she is only 4 and we have a whole life ahead of us with a pretty awesome trainer/mom to back us up and help us get better. I love this girl to death and wouldn’t ask for any other horse ❤️
