It has been a year I will always remember...for the art, it got better when I decided I did'nt have to stand in the shadows of someone who made little of my talent...AWESOME feeling to look at something I created for the reason I wanted to create it for, and LIKE IT! I use my LOVE of art to create and not to make it financial reason to exist!
As for my live horses, it just always gets better...recognizing where I made my mistakes with Cleo will get me further with Foxy...it is KILLING me to stop showing my big girl but getting back to Foxy will give me a boost of confidence...Radar and I have come to an agreement in the show ring; if he will stand still and not play with me, I won't smear Tiger Balm on my hands and make his nose twitch. And me and Crush continue to defy everyone's low opinion of him...he IS a good boy and by the end of '08 we will have points from the association and I may even train him to drive...
The good things in 2007:
Caitlin and Foxy in Tennessee being 1st in showmanship after an 8 hour class and 140 exhibitors.
Me losing all that weight!
Me and Cleo beating the two world champions in HUS in Conyers, Georgia when I went there by myself (me, Sugar, and Cleo) I feel like I could go to Oklahoma by myself now!
Ending up 25th in the nation in HUS.
Caitlin & Foxy ending up FIRST in the nation in poles!!!!!
Completing the sculptures for the presentation and getting the live horse art collectors as major 'fans'...what a terrific shot to my art heart!
There's so much more and I have decided NOT to list the bad things as I am not gonna dwell on them!

I feel like I have got my issues cornered...I have all my sculptures ready to present to the Paint horse board the end of this month, and even my notes typed out (no mistakes!) and so far it is looking like a very cool plan!
