Blast from the Past

Because a certain McGarvey had a hard time believing that I used to be competitive in the equestrian world, and because he all but dared me to post some pictures, here are a few pix to prove that I'm not ashamed at how dorky I was.

2nd Place in English Pleasure with "Buttons 'n Bows":

Division Champion in English Pleasure and Hunter/Jumper seat again with Buttons 'n Bows:

1st Place in barrel racing (stake race, I think) with "Peanut":

Warming up "Molly" before a 4-H Horse Show in Texas:

A barrel racing (cloverleaf barrels) event at 4-H Horse Show with Peanut:

Posing with Peanut (with crop in hand!) before the 4-H show:


Well, now you know a little more about my past than you did before! Ahhh, those were good times.

Gretchen,

Great pictures! Thank you so much for providing proof positive of your equestrian prowess. May the Lord give you another horse to ride someday.
