The month of April was very good to me!! I started the month out at the Lucky Dog barrel race in Starkville, MS by entering Peaches N Pie and AHH Mazing in the Saturday Open Race and Future Fortunes Round. I made 2 clean runs but no money. Saturday night I entered an IPRA rodeo in Barton, MS and placed 4th on Peaches and took an exhibition run on AHH Mazing (Macy) and she was .3 off Peaches. It was a small check for 4th place but it was a HUGE boost to my confidence in my horse. I also brought home a nice mare to sell!! The next weekend April 10-12 I entered 3 rodeos....Athens, GA, Rockmart, GA and Statesboro, GA. I ran at 2am in slack at Athens and had a clean run but just didn't clock well enough to place out of the 75 girls that were entered. Rockmart was on Friday and I was again in the slack...Peaches placed 2nd!!!! Statesboro was a 7 hour drive from Rockmart but I was feeling confident and was ready to rock and roll Saturday night. My rock n roll quickly turned into kicking myself in the butt...I hit 2 barrels to place.
April 18 I entered the PRCA/WPRA rodeo in Lauderdale, MS. This is a rodeo that draws a HUGE crowd. The arena has an off centered gate to the left but I decided to run in instead of setting up. IT WORKED....Peaches and I ended up 4th on the weekend. Saturday, April 19 Gage entered his first horse show with his pony, Apples. They placed 4th in pony halter.
April 25-26 DCR had our rodeo in Centreville, AL. I won the rodeo on Peaches, Macy clocked .3 off Peaches, and CP Zan Cut It was 2 seconds off!!! Gage hauled Apples and helped push the timed event cattle down before the rodeo started.
It's always a blessing to place an any rodeo or barrel race but it had been several months since I had drawn a check on Peaches. I am the type that will over think the smallest change and finally convinced my husband and farrier to try something different on her and I must say I was right!! So thankful that I am able to do what I love every day and that I am able to travel on the weekends. I have the BEST clients in 2014 that I have ever had. I have people trusting me with their horses that I have never met. This means the world to me!!
