Trail Log: 8-23-2019

• Trail: Weiser River Trail
• Miles: 14
• Riders: Self - Jones - Dusty
• Horses: J'Lo - Zeke - Raycine
• Dogs: Hank - Savannah - Dealer

Notes: Rode almost to the Big Trestle. Met up with several bicyclist and 4 otter. The otter were more playful although the last male cyclist in the black and hot-pink spandex was definitely more colorful.

Tired of ponying - I opted to ride J'Lo that morning and head on over to Dan and Teri's in Emmett that evening with Jack. J'bird was a rock on the trail. She's a solid ride for sure. That afternoon in Emmett,  I shot three stages off Jack. He stayed calmed and collected through all three. I'm still having a hard time believing I have a second shooting horse. So very proud of him.

Kitty training session

• Trail: Lone Pine - Prineville Oregon
• Miles: 6.26
• Riders: Self
• Horses: Jack and J
• Dogs: Hank (Shade stayed in camp)

J waiting for Jack to get out of the arena

Notes: Went up to Prineville a few days before the Guns N Grub shoot in Oregon City. Spent the days prior with a one-on-one session with Kitty. Hiked and rode around the hills between arena work.

Headed to Guns N Grub Friday. Ended up winning Shotgun and clean shooter. Was pretty excited about the shotgun win - there were 12 shooters in my class (Ladies Limited). I ended up 4th in the overall shotgun (limited and open). I did win my class in the main match as well but since I was the only one in my class...well, that doesn't really count. I didn't safety up much though and was happy with my times AND I shot clean the entire weekend.

I thought about running a course on Jack but decided since this was the first real shoot I've had him at, I wouldn't push it. Planning on taking him to the Lone Pine shoot and leaving J at home. Once I'm comfortable competing off him - we can start to work on speed. For now - we are not going to try and be competitive...taking is sloooow.
