Sounds interesting, eh? Well....Saturday I did a local open show with my Hunter horse (a Half Arabian 19 y/o gelding). the show has a mystery class which is more like a fun class and you do get to know what it is before you sign up for it. This time it was what the announcer called "Pole bending, kind of like Barrel bending" (she got her bending and racing words messed up!). So, yeah; pole bending in a cloverleaf pattern.

I have never done any barrel racing on Izzy (my horse), but I signed up along with two other girls who were in western attire (more suited for a speed event than I was. I was in my English attire). Izzy wasn't too sure about starting from a run, that wasn't 'proper' in his mind!!!! But we made it 28 secs and the other two girls each tied at 29 secs!!! Very fun. So that is English Barrel racing ya'll!

What's the difference between mercy and grace?
