Showmanship!!!

First run of the year for me and coco criticism welcome!!

Merry Christmas!!

I have gotten a lot of new horse stuff for Christmas, including wahl cordless clippers, which are really nice, a brand new showmanship jacket which is awesome, and some smaller things like slinkies, and rail raisers. Please comment and tell me what you would like me to post on next because I have a lot of time in the winter. Hope you all had a great Christmas!

Fall Update

Now that it is fall again I plan to be starting blogging more. The summer was very busy sorry about that here's some things to get you going. Trail courses with under ten poles, if I can get it uploaded to YouTube. But check out my YouTube account, CoCoRL10, I have the entire tommy sheets trail clinic from the novice championships east!!
Also here are my first photo shoot photos of my cousin at a horse show! Tell me what you think! Thanks. The photos wre taken in a darker light on an iPhone, sorry if the quality is a little grainy.

Sorry for the summer delay I will probably get back to it this winter but until then follow my personal journey through my other blog. Link below here are some pics from my Pinterest board.

It's been awhile

Sorry it's been so long since my last post, this fall I am attending the aqha novice championship show, which is a great way for novice riders around t he country to experience something like a world show, but at a much lesser price, the flat rate for everything is 300 dollars,two shows are offered one In Tennessee and one In Las Vegas. I will add the schedule soon, to qualify for this you have to have show  under 20 judges or get in the top ten at a regional chAmpionship to nationally qualify you can also state qualify and each state has its own set of requirements, visit your state affiliates website for more details on state qualifying. The schedule is here:
There is also a cattle novice championship offered. For more go to, Novice championships website

I had a good show this weekend, not as great as I would have hoped but I am happy with some of the progress that I made. My best class by far was Showmanship and here are my class results:

• Novice- day 1
• 1st and 2nd out of 17
• Day 2
• 1st and 8th out of 20

• Youth-Day 1
• 1st and 3rd out of 5
• Day 2
• Two 1sts out of 6

I also purchased a photo cd of all my photos, so I will be making some sample ads for myself, and posting them as well as the pictures, would really like some feedback on the ads!!
