Ground Breaking!

Yesterday we started to move dirt to build our house. You know your house building adventure has just begun when you are three hours into moving dirt and your house plans change twice due to the dirt work!

Another Ranch Horse Posting

This is our 3 yr old Reining Futurity horse for 2008. Mike Merriman of Mike Merriman Performance Horses LLC has been riding this filly for 60 or so days prior to the Ranch Horse Show on March 4th and 5th.

This filly scored a 66 on her first competitive pattern. We found some holes that need to be plugged, but over I think a 66 is a great score for her first ever show and with only 60 or so days of training.

Way to go Mike and Playin in the Roses! We are going to attempt to get some photos or a video of their performance during the upcoming Missouri Foundation Quarter Horse Association April 5th show at Boone County Fairground.

Ranch Horse Show Results!

March 4th and 5th kicked off the 2008 show season for some of our horses. This particular Buckskin filly did really well for her first ever show. We competed in Cutting, Team Sorting, and confirmation classes during this double judged show. If it was not for my mistakes during the cutting and team sorting we would have done much better than we did. As far as the confirmation classes went, we placed 2nd in the 5 and over mares class.

Our next show is set for April 4th at Boone County Fairgrounds where we will be riding with Missouri Foundation Quarter Horse Association. See you all soon!
