I've felt light headed all day and Karters been trying to convince me not to run all day but I've got to be ready in 20 minutes.
I'm in a nice lightweight dark green button up with a black tank top under it.
I finish uo brushing and cleaning up Bullet.
I braid his main and braid his tail putting in a Red and Yellow ribbon just incase.
I finally put on his pretty red serape saddle pad and his saddle. I do the cinches just enough so it doesn't slide right now.
I put on his regular leather breast collar that has skulls stamped into it.
Along with the matching skull bridal, with red serape bit coveres.
I don't kid when I match things, and I do a diffrent color most the time.
Today's red.
I put on his red serape bell boots and sports boots, and tightened his cinches before getting on.
My head spins as I get on and nausea takes on, I breath deap and my head sets straight again.
I sigh and straighten, and open my eyes.
"Hey you good?" Karter asks setting a hand on mine.
I nod "Yep, peachy." I tell him and smile.
"I've got to go, don't loose Dewy like I did." I tell him with a small laugh.
He laughs and goes and sits down on the bleachers with the stroller and Haze.
I watch him walk over and sit before, I turn and make my way to the arena.
Everyone's warming up now.
I walk and trot both ways with a small canter, before we start.
Bullets antsy, more than usual before a run at the house.
I know it's his first tike back running in public, but he's acting weird.
He makes out a weird throaty noise before hunching and-almost-bucking up.
He does it again, and again finally getting both legs up and jolting me forward.
The nausea comes back in a wave like a smack to the face.
The other girls stare at me, like I'm insane-fair point though.
I'm jolted forward again.
Bullet continues, to buckskin up evry two to three minutes or so till it's are turn.
We make it down the alley and I feel eevyerthing coming in waves again, the feeling I had when they said Lilly was dead, the feeling I had when we took that fall, evrything.
I tense up.
I can't do it, it's diffrent at home and diffrent when I'm on another horse.
But here evryone would see it happen-again-and I would loose my favorite thing again.
I toughen up and push the thoughts back.
I've got to do it. If not for myself or Bullet for Grandpa.
I promised him I wouldn't give up and .ake it at least to the, PRCA.
I breath in and out and the nausea push back and I let him go.
Bullet tried forward for the the first barrel, he takes it smooth and heads for the right one.
He tucks a big much dut doesn't tip the barrel, thankfully.
He heads for the third and finally barrel turning it sharp but smooth.
