Nice job. *smiley face* Sweetheart of a horse. Keep enjoying him.

Wow. Talk about a turn-around. She complimented him! She really complimented him! The comments were all fair, and well-spoken. However, I didn't know how I did until it was all over. I absolutely refused to get tests and scores until after all three tests were complete. I figured if she didn't ring the idjit bell, there was no reason to worry about numbers. We were going to put out our best rides possible, and I wasn't going to fret about scores. Talk about shocked when I read TL#1. And it got better. Shockingly better.
