As everyone in Ohio knows, to get to show at State fair you have to qualify in a local PAS Show. It is this weekend! I only have a week to fully prepare myself, and with only 5 more days the pressure was being put on.
We worked all week on getting better and beating that time barrier! We started running so fast that i wasnt even worried about beating the time!
The night before the show i was in the barn giveing AJ his bath and making sure he wasnt sore or anything. He was acting perfectly normal and happy. I had kept him in the barn that night just to make sure he wouldnt get dirty.
On saturday i got up very earlie because i was excited! I went up to the barn for the morning feeds and started packing things up to leave. The ring i have to ride in is my home ring so i know the ground and how to work that arena. We loaded him into the trailer he was on his toes as usual because he used to rodeo, and knows that when he leaves hes going to race! AJ loves to race!
We got there and there were so many people there, i wasnt nuvrous because all i had to do was beat a certain time! I warmed him up, which he had already worked him self into a lather and was getting hyper. So we stood and watched other people run. Some passed, some faild. It was my turn. As they called my name i stiffend, so did AJ so i breathed, we both relaxed. I walked to the gait, Flew into it and flew around every barrel with ease! they called my time...Great time Taylor........18.222 I PASSED! all i had to do was beat 22 seconds! I DID IT!! WERE STATE BOUND!
More Fun Comming later!
