Cha-Ching!

Yep, I can already hear the sound of money in the bank when it comes to Bailey. Each day she finds some way to impress me with her unbelievable athleticism. Of course, I never happen to have a video camera on me when she decides to display her amazing feats...but I can tell you on Friday evening while some friends were riding Scout and Festus away from the house through the neighborhood, Bailey and Blackjack became very excited and Bailey did something I wish every one of you could have seen. She was running around the front pasture like a banchee with her tail up and she decided to head out the gate to the back pasture, but almost as quickly as she decided to go out, she realized she would rather not, so in an area about 2 square feet in diameter she planted her hind legs, came to a stop, and did a 360 degree spin with perfect precision to allow herself right back in the corral gate. David was there as my witness...I am not making this up! It was as athletic a move as ANY reining horse I have EVER seen. Now if I can only harness that and ride it! Ha! Only 2 months till that 2nd birthday! And I FINALLY sent in her registration papers, so I will soon be announcing what her registered name is! Stay tuned!
