PRACTICE AND TRAIL CHALLENGE

Practice Makes Perfect!! :)
There will be 10 obstacles that I (Tigger) need to practice for and here are a few.
Down the bank & up again.Log jam...trying to figure out just where
"I" need to put my little hoofs.
The bridge obstacle is my favorite!!
Can you see the smile on my face??


At the end of a long day every horse deserves
a little drink from the irrigation weir box.
Don't you think?



Mom's are good about making sure you stay
hydrated and of course loved. :)





TRAIL CHALLENGE...BEGINS !!
The wind never ends!! ... & makes the trail challenge 10 times more difficult !!
First obstacle...log jam. Good thing Mom made me practice!





Crossing the bridge...I loved this one!!






"Z" obstacle...I had to back thru and I'm not piratically fond of this one.






Now you can see why I don't really care for this obstacle !!







Here is proof that we competed and placed 2nd place!! :)



Tigger did such an awesome job with the "TRAIL CHALLENGE" !!
He exceeded "ALL" my expectations and then some!!
He didn't refuse any obstacles and was a good sport the whole weekend!!
We are both looking forward to the next competition and the next and the next !!!
I'm sure you really want a "Tigger" in your barn...now more than ever. :)
I'm not sure if I ever told any one what Tigger's registered name was...we'll now you know!!

Tails and Trailers...

Did you forget that I'm a "BOY"??
Do you really need to "braid" my tail?? Did you say get in?

Look Out!! ~ I'm comin in!!
Tigger did such a great job learning to load in the "BIG BOY" horse trailer this week.
I'm convinced that it even helped improve his backing up skills. :)
We will see how he does this weekend backing up on the "Trail Challenge" course.

The First Hug :) :)

My "other" trainer! :)How many "HUGS" do you need ??

Cassidy and Tigger had an instant bond. :)
I'm sure it was "TRUE LOVE" with the first hug!!
How could ya not love this guy!!

BLOSSOMS... BRIDGES...BUBBLES...

Just had to remember this great spring day!
Tigger and I strolling down "Plum Tree" lane.

Just making sure I can cross a bridge ...
for my up & coming "FIRST TRAIL CHALLENGE"...this weekend!


Don't I look like a pro?


It sure feels good to get a bath
after "all" that hard work! I really think I could
get use to this special treatment!!
Thanks Mom!!

I'm A Big Boy Now

Look who's a "BIG BOY" now !!!
First the saddle...then the bridle and then little old me !!!
When he took off walking with the saddle for the first time... he was like watching a ballerina on her tip toes. :) He is so fun to watch every time we introduce new things !!!
This crazy wind has slowed down my training progress considerably!!! :(

I'm really hoping the next time I post a picture of Tigger he will be shinny and clean !!! He always seems to find the most
messy places to take a nap. LOL!!!
