First English Show

My grandpa went into surgery today. I'll be seeing him tomorrow. Then we're going to the tack shop so I can get a new helmet. I saw a key and measured my head, I have a L/XL head! And to think I've been wearing a medium for 5-6 years!! :o!
Well anyways Sunday is my first english show! Gonna be fun!!
Cougar was excellent yesterday. He was completely forward at all moments! Which is odd for this western pleasure horse. He has the slowest jog, and canter. But yesterday he was giving me a very forward trot and a fast canter. I wish it was always that way!! But I need to start getting him to do that all the time on que! Wish us luck!!

Hugs From Cougar! - Filling Ya In!

A lady from the ranch was watching me ride. Then when my dad got there she talked to him. She said she thinks I need a more of a challenging for a horse. She wanted m to ride her eventing pony, Puck. But Puck is one small pony. And I found out today that she's selling him. Wow......
But I like Cougar. I'm gonna lease him until I get my own horse! I want my own horse soon. It would allow me so much freedom at the ranch!
I found out today I can go on trail rides now! Yippee!! That will help me make more friends at the ranch.
Next Saturday I'm finally getting a private lesson for the first time in FOREVER!! Yay! I think it'll be a jumping lesson, well I'm hoping! Can't wait!!

Hugs from Cougar:

Second day of February

Western Show canceled. Little upset about that. My family is completely snowed in in Chicago. I wonder what they do with the horses in these states that are snowed in for many feets?
Watching the news lately? Saw it today. Citizens riding camels an horseback at Egypt. Saw horses being beat. This one white horse got a close up. 4 men around him one slapping it on moving it and, well, beating it.
Pretty sad. 
Don't really have anything else to say.
