Wow last weekends PCHA was amazing! We were champions!

So excited for TEF this weekend! I'm doing the pony hunter class! I will try to take pictures while I am there but I don't know if I will be able to. Anyways, sorry for not posting, my computer was being weird about connecting to the internet.

Sorry for not posting in a while! I have been on a cruise and we got back Sunday afternoon where I was just so tired. Then on Monday and also yesterday, I couldn't find my laptop cord to charge my dead laptop! Anyways, on the cruise I got tons of great photos and though none of them are horse related, they are still pretty cool so I will post those after I edit them!

I am super excited for tomorrow! I (Victoria) will be leaving for a cruise! It's only for a few days so I will be back soon but I will not be able to post much. Cristina and Cassidy will post as much as they can but they also have a horse show. Good luck to them and everyone else who is going to this PCHA show!

This morning I had a great idea for some horse treats! I am not sure if this will work but it sounds like it should. Do you know those dried apple chips? I thought that it would be neat to try and remake those for horses! Here is the recipe I came up with: 

Victoria's Apple Crispies

Ingredients: 

- apples (however many you want) 

- knife

- cheese grater

- muffin tin

- cooking spray

- bowl

Directions: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

2. Cut the apple(s) into slices and then use the cheese grater to grate the apple(s) into a bowl 

3. Spray the muffin tin with the cooking spray and then place about a tablespoon or two of the grated apple into each cup of the muffin tin

4. Place the muffin tin with the apples into the oven. I have not tried this recipe yet so I do not know how long to cook the apple crisps so make sure you keep an eye on them and wait until they are golden brown before pulling them out of the oven.

5. Wait for the apple crispies to cool and then feed to your horse. I hope that your horse likes them!

  

Happy St. Patrick's day!

I'm back! Finally, after a long weekend of horse showing on Saturday and homework from Sunday until now, I am finally back online and posting. This weekend at the IEA show I got some great photos and even have some surprises for you all. :) they should be up by tonight or tomorrow so I hope you enjoy them!

There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse.

I could not be more excited for the IEA regionals show this weekend! I have a really good feeling that the Showcase Farm Equestrian Team is going to qualify for zones. I could not ask for a better team and I am so happy that I was chosen to be the captain of this amazing group. Thank you for a great season, now let's finish it off strong.
