A walk-thru is always in order

Practice on the ground first

and then in the saddle

Backing the L

Both ways...

A nice jump

They're lookin good!!!

Ready for Texas

Update! Finally...

Sorry it's been so long to update

As the finals draw closer

you'll see less of what's really going on

because I am sworn to secrecy as to

what their Freestyle will be about

and that's what they're working on

We aren't spilling it on this blog

If you want a sneak preview

show up at the Benefit Auction

Sept. 6th 

Gates open at 4 pm

Demonstration at 4:30 pm

Auction at 6 pm

Wickenburg Rodeo Grounds

That's the only time Buddy will show 

the general public a preview of his freestyle finale

But here's some pics from the 9th

Thanks to Mike Thomas for taking them

Discussion

Jackpot has turned into a really nice horse

capable and willing to do anything

More updates to come

but remember

we're not giving any secrets away
