goodness gracious & another show …

My Wynt was in another show this past weekend and had a great time! She’s really loving this and I’m so happy she’s found something to be passionate about in her little life.

Wynter usually rides a lesson horse named Ferbert. She rode him in her previous show and during her lessons. But there’s another little girl at the barn who also rides Ferbert, and since she’s smaller than Wynter, she rode Ferbert at this last show, while Wynter rode a different guy named Champ. She’d only had one short lesson on Champ a couple of days before the show and all things considered, Wynter held her own and did pretty good … the most important thing, of course, being that she had fun!

That was day one.

Below is day two. Looking at the pending weather forecast and timing of the event, the other family wisely decided to sit the second day out.

Which meant Wynter rode Ferbert, and this momma was out of bed in the dark and headed to the show in the rain!

It was cold, but fortunately the weather broke just as we were tacking up and heading into the show ring. It was another fun show and Wynter loved it!


Buuuut … we think the time has come for Wynter to be on her own mount. No, not buy. Taylor would have my head if I up and bought Wynter a horse!! Taylor had to work her behind off before she was able to get her own horse.

That said, we’ve been looking for a pony to lease for Wynter. And we may have finally found one! Meet Goodness Gracious … or Grace for short. {note: pleasssee ignore my corny comments! I never talk while filming for that exact reason. But I got so caught up in what Wynter was doing, I couldn’t help it!}

Funny story …

There was a TON of paperwork to be filled out just to get her shipped down here. As I was filling it all out, I sent another text to Wynter’s trainer asking the pony’s name and if she’s registered. “Goodness Gracious,” she answered. And, “No, she’s not registered.”

“Ohmyword! I know,” I replied. “Sooo many questions!”

“Ummm. LOL,” she answered. “Goodness Gracious is her name.”

*blush*

Wynter, of course, is in LOVE with Grace!! And honestly, they’re a super cute pair. Her trainer just isn’t toooo sure she’s the right pony for Wynter. We’ll know more after her lesson today … wish her luck??

And now the entire reason for this post!! Wynter has an app that does weird things like this to photos. She took the above photo, did some clever editing and texted me this message from Grace. Gotta love a kid with clever ambition!

What’s the craziest thing you’ve done to convince your parents of something?

    Wynter is very clever…love the video she created to convince you to lease Goodness Gracious for her. The love within your family is evident…you are indeed blessed.

    How fortunate is she to have the opportunity to do something as wonderful as this!! A very small percentage of the world get the chance to fall in love with riding (and even fewer get a chance to do it regularly).

    I must show my appreciation to you for bailing me out of such a instance. After searching through the internet and seeing ways which were not helpful, I figured my life was done. Being alive without the approaches to the problems you have resolved as a result of your main short article is a serious case, as well as the ones which might have negatively affected my entire career if I hadn’t discovered your website. Your primary understanding and kindness in touching a lot of stuff was very helpful. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not come across such a subject like this. I’m able to now look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for the high quality and sensible guide. I won’t be reluctant to recommend your web page to any person who needs and wants tips about this problem.
