WHERE IN THE WORLD IS "HOOPER", WA ???

As you will see by all my pictures...we did find "HOOPER", WA !!Creative & Cute !!
I'm not sure why Steve took this picture ??
Maybe he just wanted to prove to me... that we really would have plenty of toilet paper for the weekend. LOL!!

This was Wyatt's & Nedra's first day of the Trail Clinic.

We started with some ground work...

it helps the horses to be more accepting/ready to listen to their rider's.

After lunch we got busy and started working on the real thing.
This was a water obstacle that Wyatt was working on crossing.

By the end of the weekend he just loved crossing thru the water !!

The next funny obstacle was these crazy Styrofoam noodles.

Wyatt loved them at first... but quickly learned to hate putting his head/face thru them.

Needless to say by the end... he had changed his mind and just loved going thru them !!

This is "THREE HUGE TRACTOR TIRES" stacked up against a huge bank/hill.

Wyatt took a look and said no problem... and away we went up the hill !!

This was my favorite obstacle of the weekend !! :-)

I have to say this was another fun one !!

We had to make the horses walk/trot thru these deep ditches/trenches.

After I talked Wyatt into taking a look...he just loved trimming the banks of dry grass !! LOL!!

This was getting him to back thru a "L" ... then climbing up on a circle of rocks and doing a complete turn around on top. No problem he loved climbing up on "ANYTHING" !!

Jumping a "HUGE" log and trot/lope over a smaller log.

We just love jumping things together !! Steve's not so happy

taking pictures of me jumping over things. LOL!!

We had to go thru this cool ranch gate with Buzzards ( another creative & cute) on top !!

Then we had to take a stroll thru the tunnel. :-)

We had some steep rocky hills to climb !!

We also had some high step downs to accomplish

and we did it all with no problems or unwanted dismounts. LOL!!
We did have a lot more obstacles to work on...I think there were about 20 or so.

On Sunday afternoon we had a couple trail challenges with the rest

of the rider's and it was a blast !! Looking forward to our next one !!

As you can see by all the great photos that Steve took ...

Wyatt and I had a blast working together...even if the temperature was a 100 degrees !!

I think I finally realized what "COWGIRL UP" means !!

Looking forward to going back to "HOOPER CROSSING"...maybe next time with Tigger. :-)
