Lil Lilly didn't win any $....but she had a great time, had some good runs, and some not so good runs, but that's ok....both horses hadn't ever been anywhere like this. She made some new friends, that don't live too far from us, so she'll get to see them occasionally when we meet up at barrel races. All in all she had a wonderful time. But it's good to be back home LOL

You've captured the excitement. What a wonderful keepsake for her.
I love the one with her little determined face showing so clearly and the wild eye in the horse.

You've got some excellent shots there. Glad to hear she had a good time. I always told my daughter it's not about pressuring herself to win, it's about having fun, because if you aren't having fun in your chosen sport, it's not worth doing. Life is too short for that.

LOL I like that hat too......and so does she....but it aint hers. As we were packin the sponsors trailer, I told her.....we need to remember to get lawn chairs out of our trailer. A lil while later she thinks about her hat, and goes to get it outta our trailer, and sees the lawn chairs I mentioned. She got the lawn chairs and totally forgot about her hat. So she borrowed one from one of her friends. I thought it was cute that it "matched" Sugar Baby too. Her other hat is black.....and woulda really looked good with her Black on Cash. We laughed about that too....hadn't dawned on me...."The man in Black" until she was all saddled up and dressed to ride. She has had the leg wraps for a while now with the leopard print trim...and I'd been lookin for her a black saddle blanket...finally found one a couple days before we left, and I added the leopard print corner stuff on it for her.

So could you post a bigger picture or more of a close up of the stirrups she was using on the paint? Don't think I've ever seen any quite like that.

Good pix. :)

Great Pictures! That gal can ride. Why a tie-down on Cash in picture 1 and not 2? Sugar Baby looks like the tie-down is too short as can't get the nose out to run.

Picture 3 of Cash without the tie down is actually the first run she made on him...as you can see...his head gets a bit outta shape without a tie down. So she put the tie down on him for all the other runs she made on him. We asked her why she didnt have one on him also, and she thought he'd be alright without it. He works fine at home without one, but The first time she took him to a barrel race a couple weeks ago...he did the same thing with his head, so she put a tie down on him and he worked better. Bein such a new horse she's still figurin him out.
She used the same gear on both horses. Sugar Baby may be longer necked than Cash.....but lookin at the two side by side you'd never know it, cuz Sugar Baby is built a whole lot broader and thicker necked than Cash. Since she was a "spur of the moment horse", since Toilet Paper didnt get to go. She had to use what she had on her.

Jinglebob, they are just regular ole wood stirrups rawhide wrapped with leather lacin. She does have a couple rounds of vet wrap on the bottom to help her not loose her stirrups (still happens sometimes tho)
Here's a couple pictures

Thanks. They looked a little different in the smaller pictures and looked awful small. Yup, I see the wrap, I bet it helps. :)

I can't take credit for takin these pictures. I did take a bunch, but they are still stuck in my camera till I get somethin I can download them onto. They have a photographer there that takes photo's, and will put them on disk for you to take home. LOL Imagine that...me "buyin" photos LOL
I was just so excited to share.....that I didn't even think to mention that I didnt take them. One of these days I'll get me a camera that'll take action shots like that in the indoor arenas. It will work in the outdoor arenas where there's lots of light tho.
