I’ve decided, and I know, Jill, that you’ll be proud of me. Shuttle’s unborn colt will be called Pebbles if it’s a filly and Bam Bam if it’s a horse colt. I have decided to register it as Joanie Loves Chachi, after the TV series, if it’s a girl but I have no idea what to call it if it’s boy. I’m open to suggestions. Shuttle’s registered name is Fleefoots Dakota Sun and Chachi’s registered name is Poco Tivio Pep.
Friday, my sister, Kelsey and I headed out to Rapid City where we shopped for school clothes. Can I just say that I had so much fun? Kelsey is just an awesome girl, and Zach, as I know he is, has every right to be a super proud parent.
Saturday morning we visited the Mt. Rushmore, and Crazy Horse Monuments. Megan snapped some cool photos. Crazy Horse is a work in progress and was started in 1948.

Saturday afternoon we returned to Rapid City for a barrel race. Zach drove up with the horses and met us. We also showed Big to a lady from Gillette, Wy and she purchased him on the spot! We are very glad that that wonderful horse found a great, new home. To top of what had already been a super weekend, Kelsey jumped out there, and won the youth 2D class, and Gump made an almost perfect run at 1/2 speed to win me the 4D and a check of $100.00. There were things in that run that could have been improved, yes, but the point is that he was listening and we were both feeling for each other. I will post the video soon- y’all will all laugh, as I almost fell off the end at the end of my run when I go to stop him!
We were going to enter a barrel race on Sunday in Hermosa, SD but that one got rained out. So we ended up not getting to enter that one. It didn’t matter; we’d already had a great weekend.
Today we’ll finish getting ready for the barrel race that is here tomorrow; we’ll help the neighbor with his yearlings (cows) and then they’ll come over and help us cut our stud colts- the old fashioned way. I really hope to get photos of that process.
Sounds like you had a GREAT weekend!
I had two Schnauzers, male and female, names Levi & Straus. I LOVE their names! I like the names you are thinking of using, but especially Joannie loves Chachi. LOVE it!
Can't wait to see the video. I love watching those of you. It's amazing how you critique them and I no so little about barrel racing that they ALL look good to me!
The "old fashioned" way? Oh Lord. That doesn't sound good. Does anyone ever get kicked? I don't even know what that is! When my step father does his bulls and sheep, he bands them. There are ALWAYS turkey buzzards in the fields after that! LOL
Crazy horse is badass!!! Why cant you call it Joanie loves Chachi if its a colt? So my colts next year, Idk if Ruby is bred. Guccis foal will be named Kbar Apple Bottom Jeans and Rubys will be BLW Boots With the Fur. If I just have one it will be this really long word that means wind in one of the Native American languages. I have it wrote down but I can not remember. And since they will be colts, like always…I will call them Soren and whatever BLW wants to name his, since I named Ruby's first spawn. He maybe cute and huge but he is evil! I have also decide that Gucci has panzy ass off spring. Armani is the biggest baby ever. oh and he is already cripped. He did not fall far from the tree.
