That looks like SO much fun! Do you have cows? How do you find a place to practice? Very hard to find cows where I live.No, I don't have cows. The "local" (about an hour away) club has practices once a week in the summer and once a month in the winter. (Of course I didn't make any of them in the summer, *sigh*) Finding a local club level (ie not recognized) place that does it seems to be the best way to get into it with low pressure. You can do a lot of the stuff without cows - just practice running down the fence and rolling back, plus the reining stuff is still all useful for the cows. I'm going to a clinic on the weekend I think, they are doing something called "working the flag" which apparently is practice for the cow part without cows, but I don't know how it works as I've never seen it. Mya had never worked a cow at all before her first cow horse show (with my trainer aboard, not me!) but she did really well. She had been around cows though, so we knew she wasn't afraid of them! We did OK our first show too, I messed up and the cow got away, but we got it back under control. Practice would have helped, but I'm out to have fun, so NBD to me.

2012 goals for me went out the window early in the year with two horrific injuries to my horse XD so I had to re-adjust them a bit :P
However, we did manage some things!New float/trailer - Get my horse back in work after her injuries - Ride multiple other horses for owners/take them to competitions! - (this one spent the whole day trying to kill me XD, this was our "bolt down the long side")
2013 is going to be the year!!Have an injury free year for my horse!And get her and my sisters horse qualified for PCAQ State dressage for mine, and PCAQ Combined training for the sister!!By the end of 2013 I want her to be 100% solid at Prelim and ready to go Novice!

I'm sure there's something around, I just don't know since I'm not immersed in it yet. I'd mainly be looking for just simple open shows, unless I find an AQHA show that isn't super far away. I really doubt I'll have the spare money to do that though, at least not next year.
