Legacy Jackpot!

This past Sunday was the Legacy Jackpot.  We took both Parker and Cisco to run in the timed only race.  In barrels there is a section for new horses that is a timed only so you can just go get your horses comfortable in the arena and around the pattern without paying the money to run in the Jackpot.  Cisco was alittle on the wild side so I just worked him really hard and got him used to sitting next the to chutes and arena while horses are running.  I probably overfaced him alittle bit, as he just got off the trailer from being shipped home from Shaun's at 9:00 the night before and then putting him on another trailer the next morning to a new place.  With that all being said he handled it like a two year old should.  Parker was a champ!!! Our first timed only we went in a cantered to the barrel stopped and trotted around it and then cantered off.  Our last timed run I let him canter the whole pattern.  I could feel him hungry for more and wanting to run faster.  We couldnt have been more proud of him and know we finally found a job he really loves!! We are running in our first jackpot this Saturday, its the UBRA winter series last run.  We are excited to start the spring series and see how we run against all the other horses.
