hello, bonjour
please call me believe





herro der mes amis, i am believe. proud canadian, ottb loving, colt breaking, nfr dreaming. pictured on the left is my racetrack reject, landofmakebelieve, aka molly, moo, shmoo, whatever name comes to mind x] molly is a 10 year old canadian bred thoroughbred mare, and standing at about 16.2hh, we look a little wonky when we chase cans, but la dee da that's alright. molly and i tried several disciplines. i tried desperately to get her to catch on to dressage, but unfortunately, she still has the race bred mind and is all go. however, together we found a discipline which we could both enjoy; western gaming. this summer we started travelling to barrel races locally. our current record on a standard size pattern is 17.314 and we are improving with every run. and to all the low budget barrel racers out there such as myself, a word of advise; chin up darling. you may not have a million dollar mount under your butt, but you and your crossbred, rejected, hard headed, rescue baby can do it. you know why? cause those girls sitting in their custom circle y's, upon shiny, top of the line mounts are full of themselves. they think there's no way they can lose. they get cocky. stay humble, believe in yourself, in your horse, and most importantly ride your little heart out.

@Wild.One: Congrats, that's awesome!!!

I used to run the 300 meter hurdles, now I do the open 400 meter run; but yah, all I've ever heard of in middle/high school girls' track its 300 meter hurdles.

Speaking of hurdles I had the bright idea to practice my three steps on the 100 meter hurdles after running 16 timed 100 m. sprints... .v. Completely wiped out in front of everyone. haha /storyofmylife

We don't run in any meets this week, but we've got our conference meet Tuesday the 29th, and then just one more after that (for me anyways, I didn't qualify for any higher meets)! I can't believe the season has gone by so quickly, seems like yesterday I was whining about being out of shape and now its almost over.

Providing I have time, do y'all think my 400 m. time would improve if I ran cross country during the fall? Or should I just stick with maintaining a nice level of fitness?

I think it depends on how much mileage your team does! If your team does maybe 40-30 miles a week, it's a nice way to stay in shape, but if your team does too much mileage, it can take away your fast twitch muscles.

I'm so happy xc is starting up. ^u^ It's much more enjoyable than track in my opinion, and the team feels a lot closer!
