NBHA Jan. 24th Henderson

We got there two hours before the open started but still ended up running at the end. The ground got really slow and deep after around number 50, and I was number 96. Warming Jet up was a painful experience lol but he was pretty good. Going to the alley I had Kristen lead Spoon in front of him so maybe he would walk to the alley, he walked for a little ways. Then he started bouncing around which didn't feel too good to the back. Finally made it to the alley turned him and went. He fired REALLY hard, the ground drug him down at all the barrels but he did pretty good and had a really pretty pattern. We ran a 16.4 and ended up 6th, one out of the money. Pretty good for not running anywhere in a month I guess.

Supplements- I am usually not a big fan of supplements and have tried a ton but I believe I have found something that really works for my horses and program. I use Total Health Enhancement (http://www.totalhealthenhance.com/) Daily Edge everyday to the ones I am running. Then I use EnduraPLUS the day before a run, the morning before a run, then a hour before a run. I also use NutraWound when hauling heavy or lots of miles to keep my horses feeling good. Then I use GastroPLUS on one horse with ulcers to keep him feeling good while on the road.

Farrier- Chris Burris, Rusk,Tx. I use full rims all the way around on Jet and Spoon and Shorty is barefoot.

Boots- Classic Equine bell boots and polo wraps on all four.

Saddle pad- Todd Slone 3/4" thick wool pad
