Well the Kidd really came through!
We tied for 1st place in the in-hand course and took 8th in the riding.(Cool had a pretty good spook when the audience applauded part of his course or I believe we would have been 3rd or 4th) Anyway we made the finals! Woohoo!
We drew the last spot to go so we had plenty of time to watch the competition, everyone did a great job.
Finally, our turn to go!
Cool entered the arena and caught sight of the fire ring as we passed it and had a pretty good spook, but after that he was back on track.
As usual he jumped right on the flat bed as it was moving and proceeded to do everything else that was asked of him including walking into the ring of fire like it was nothing and pivoting both ways before backing out.
When the dust settled we proudly walked off with the 5th place spot and $1,000 dollars.
Not bad for a very young mustang that in the beginning started off so underweight and flighty that I couldn't believe we would ever have a chance at top ten!
I am also proud to say that Cool was adopted by Julie Bryant who does PR for Mustang Heritage and all of the Extreme Mustang events. I take it as a great compliment that Julie goes to all of these events and ended up adopting My Mustang.
Congratulations Julie you got a great horse with many great years ahead of him.
Thanks again to all of Team Cool and my sponsors, I couldn't do it without you!
Stay tuned to see which Extreme Makeover I'll be competing in next!
