ME with Tessi at 13 years old!
Tessie was just 8
thought it was cool to show off the
HI HO SILVER moves I taught her!
OMG! So young....
OH... then again... not so young... 19 here...
showing off what I used to do with Tessi when I was 13...
NICE... OMG!

After shows ... when tessie was all white and clean and snuggly and tired...
we would nap :) I think I was 19 here too


This is us breaking for lunch at a show...... where else would you sit?
OF COURSE.... great idea... lets sit under our horse and relax!
HELLLOOOOOOOO.... brainless... again here at 17 years old I was...
completely brainless!...
thank GOD... TESSI had a brain about her!
Look at that angel dearest look on her face!
OMG!


THEN WE HAVE ....
