I ran Beau and Poncho at a Twin State Barrel Race today....
Poncho ran his fastest run ever at Salt Creek, 16.570. I will forgive him for being ugly with his face; he is getting his teeth done on Friday. He has a magic stick he must wave at the timer because he always gets a check. He has been running since the first week of Oct 2008. He has won about $700, a buckle and a brest collar. We could only come up with 13 runs on that Poncho has made; here they are:
1. Salt Creek-4D 2nd
2. D & G Graham-n/a
3. Zaal Ranch Fall 1-4D 1st
4. Zaal Ranch Fall 2-4D 2nd
5. Destry's(Belton) run 1-n/a
6. Destry's(Belton) run 2-Sr horse 3D-3rd
7. Zaal Ranch Fall 3-4D-?
8. Hopper Ranch-would have won 4D but 1/2, 1/2, 1 splits
9. Zaal Ranch Fall 4-Hit first
10. Zaal Ranch Fall 5-NT broken pattern
11. Zaal Ranch Fall 6-NT 4D placed?
12. Salt Creek Jan-4D 1st
13. Salt Creek Feb 1-3D 1st
If anyone remembers another one let me know, please! As far as I concerned he can retire here. I love him!!! He wins money and prizes and he is naughty. He runs off when you change head gear, he hides in the woods from you when you try and catch him and he will bite the shit out of you after he licks you, he nickers everytime he sees you, he is mean as hell to horses he does not like. He is great.
Beau ran good too. He got hung up on the back side of some barrels but he clocked and that is what I have been waiting on. I put him in a treeless saddle because his was killing ''MY" back. He can do better but we are happy with a consitent 2D horse. He placed 2nd in the 2D with a 16.082.
