Last weekend my good Curly friend, Linda, and I took our Curlies to the Despooking clinic at Sporthorse and had a blast. Once again, our Curlies proved their worth by accepting all the obstacles, responding with calm, curiousity and doing what we asked of them. I took our 4 year old gelding, Khatmoondhu, and we worked the obstacles first on the ground and then under saddle. He has only been ridden 3 times off our ranch and this was his first time under saddle at a new place for the year. I am proud to say that Dhuzie was awesome.
Linda did great as well with her remarkable horse, Legacy. And fun was had by all. Here are some great photos of the clinic and as you can see, my boy is finally growing up.
Up next on the calendar for Khatmoondhu is his first trial endurance race at the end of this month. We will only be doing the 15 mile trail ride because he is 4 and taking it nice and easy so he can become used to compeition without becoming "crazy". But before that my girls and my neice will be taking their minis and my 3 year old Curly gelding, Timbuktu, to compete at the Will Rogers kid's show doing different patterns and barrel racing. Show season has officially started!
