Transformations Blog Hop – Stampede

I will admit to being one of those people who just starts on a journey and doesn’t really consider successes if they aren’t big. Horses are always a journey one way or another and I guess Stampede’s journey has been filled with plenty of other interesting and crazy happenings that I guess it hasn’t come to mind to consider changes under saddle. So here we go at the trot…

In the big gap between 2006 and 2009 nothing good happened and I barely have any pictures of me riding, although I know my mom took some really ugly ones during that time of Stampede being crazy. If you need more of that story, check out the about Stampede section. Otherwise, I guess I need to make people take more pictures of me, because they are all show pictures!

Here are a couple jumping pictures to finish up.

Thanks for starting this blog hop Life of Riley. I will have to see if I can drum up some photos of Mr P from the first time I had him since they are all printed photos!

      Thanks! I really thought I’d done better at having pictures over the years but many of them are not riding pictures!

      I almost just posted 2006 and 2014, but figured it was nice to show the middle where I could. He is completely different from 2006 (when riding outside an indoor was terrifying, lol).

      Thanks. Lots of change happens over so many years and I had really forgotten where we started.

      Thanks! It is amusing to me to remember how horrible he was for a while. I must have been crazy.
