My little cousin, Kelsey, from Calgary, Alberta, has been in town for the last two weeks doing show jumping. Her dad, Tim, came with her. It was so awesome to see them again. Kelsey has been coming down the last three years to compete and its so fun to see her progress each time. I only was able to see her compete one time. Its quite a nerve racking thing to watch as we did see one little girl thrown off her horse twice. Kelsey was riding a horse that belongs to her trainer, named Lady. She is a beautiful horse...and she is for sale if you are interested. I think it would be hard to part with such a beautiful animal.

You take such awesome pictures and I am thrilled with them all.
It was so nice to see you the times we did. I do mean it, sometime we are going to come to Tucson just to see you!
You would know already I believe that Keley went on to win Champion in the 1m (3'3") Division for the week. She is one happy camper.
Update on Kelsey and Lady for you. Lady's owners were so impressed with Kelsey's results on Lady that they want her to keep riding and showing on her until she sells.
This is really good news for Kelsey and means instead of being over for the two of them, its just beginning!
I have started checking your blog fairly regularly for three reasons now! a) To see if you've updated it b) To see if you've commented regarding my comments and c) To see if you've resolved in the comments the cliff hangers from the latest blog posts.
