Ed is so good that way. At the moment, I think we just kind of 'messed up' that run, which happens. In the past, when Moon hit 2nd barrel it was like he was more out of control and a bit frantic...this time it just felt like an 'oops'.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-21468030027424147562012-06-27T17:39:41.984-06:002012-06-27T17:39:41.984-06:00Oh, just thought of this... what about calling Ed ...Oh, just thought of this... what about calling Ed and talking through Moon's 2nd barrel on the phone?cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-71314399810084319662012-06-27T16:13:47.636-06:002012-06-27T16:13:47.636-06:00Sorry to hear about your run.

Hopefully things will get better and you guys will be out kickin' some butt again!<br />I also wish I could send you some of my rain, or all of it. I know there are so many states that need it and here I complain about having nothing but rain. But when all it does is rain, it gets a little (Ok, very) frustrating. <br />That's great that you have a bunch of hay for awhile. I am hoping it starts to dry out so we can get 1st cutting soon. If not will have to wait a few weeks longer to stock up.Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-70282552603149466562012-06-27T11:40:06.015-06:002012-06-27T11:40:06.015-06:00Now that you mention it, I do remember those Cdn. ...Now that you mention it, I do remember those Cdn. I have kind of avoided spending time on the barrel pattern with Moon so as to protect his stifle...but we are definitely going to have to spend some time building some softness and suppleness in the approach and around the barrels. Moon isn't going to like it much, but it's definitely become a necessity.<br /><br />You know who Moon reminds me of when he is running? That buckskin horse of Carlee Pierce's, Rare Dillon. That horse is not bendy...at all. He runs really straight into the barrels and then just kind of rolls back. Those horses are tough to ride because once they set into the barrel...there is not much you can do with them. Timing and placement is everything. <br /><br />Of course, that doesn't mean I shouldn't work with Moon to increase his flexibility and suppleness. That always helps and I particularly need to work with him on reducing his 'rate' on the 2nd barrel a little bit. <br /><br />I will be attending another EW clinic in August. I was planning on taking Frosty, but may have to just see how things are going with Moon.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-72230526831079722702012-06-27T09:47:33.724-06:002012-06-27T09:47:33.724-06:00I sure wish I could send you some of our rain.

Hay's ready to cut here- has been for a while- but way too wet, we need a couple of hot dry weeks; one to dry the land so the tractors don't bog down and one to get the hay up.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-43874306846831386402012-06-27T02:34:51.377-06:002012-06-27T02:34:51.377-06:00Aw that's crappy... but you can't win '...Aw that's crappy... but you can't win 'em all. <br />I'm sure Ed showed you or someone in your clinic a drill he likes to do, where you circle your barrel and move your horse in and out.<br />(He usually calls out "clock" positions like 9 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 12!)<br /><br />Brought Lefta home from the trainer today. She needed a lot of her basics and regular stuff touched up so she's really green on the barrels, but man she hunts that 2nd and 3rd barrel. That exercise is one I'll need with her!cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.com
