sooo long time no see....

So they ended up canceling my surgery, and are now going to try radiation with radioactive iodine. Yeah i know, I'm going to glow. Im just hoping that everthing will work out and that my thyroid will kick in, and that the growth will srink. Oh and that my pitituary starts working again that would be a bonus!

On the yearling side..... I ended up being able to go to the show last weekend. The owners did there best getting her ready, but her coat could use a little elbow gresse and her lunging sucks but shes grown alot! and super friendly and quiet. So we head out to the show ring. My BF came with to help me (although she says i'm really high maintance lol) and now says she hates halter because its soooo boring. Oh well I did help her for a long time with her own horses :P

So we were the only yearling fillys there so we won that class and went into the grand champion class thinking that if she stood quiet we'd be happy. Well she went reserve champ. mares! LMFAO I didnt belive it the owners didnt belive it, it was funny! I mean shes a well built horse but not 'halter' prep condition. Although I guess thats saying somthing about what they are looking for in a halter horse now...........

So we go the next day planing the same thing.... Our goals were to have her set up better than the day before. Well we went Grand Mares!!! WITH A YEARLING!!!!!!!!!! I walked out of the ring and her owner goes "did you get reserve again? thats great!" He almost fell over when I said that she went grand. "this horse??? a yearling????" That hardly ever happens. She then went on to win her amature and youth classes as well (they are not divided by horses age only there handlers).

We dont know for sure how many points we got but we beat the aged mares who earned 6pts so thats 6 the first day and 7 the second. If this year goes similer to last shes alraday made the top 10 list for the country in yearling mares. Even if she was a qh we would have had enough points to qualify for the Worlds in one show :P
