Oops, I missed Jetta's birthday. For some reason I thought her birthday was today, the 7th instead of the 5th. I don't have her birthday memorized, even though I still have both Grady and Jazz's birth dates memorized... (Jazz's birthday is in 10 days, she would have been 28 this year).

At least I did go to the barn and gave her a good grooming. She's been so itchy lately with all the shedding. She will adjust her body to the exact spot she wants curried. It took me a bit to figure out why she kept backing up every time I worked my way backwards. Duh. Her favorite scritchy spots are over her last ribs so of course she was wanting me to work on those spots.
But I can't believe my baby is 11 years old! I have now owned her for almost 9 years now. Crazy. In honor of 11 years, here are my 11 favorite pictures of my monster pony!

| Our first recognized HT, conquering the scary trakehner |
 |
| Don't know why but I love this dorky angle with her |
 |
| The first show where I felt like I had a trained horse, showing at first level and winning both our classes |
 |
| First 3' jumper course we competed in |
 |
| First 25 mile LD race! |

| Bad pony still does well at dressage... but this is the horse that once upon a time ran through the show grounds when a ribbon was placed on her bridle |
Happy Birthday Jetta, and what a lovely filled out 2yo she was. No awkwardness there at all!
ReplyDeleteShe was a pretty 2 year old but she made up for it with her hideous 3 year old year! I was so worried about what I had bought!
DeleteHappy Birthday to her! I can't believe the difference between her baby picture and her two year old picture.
ReplyDeleteShe grew so fast! She was 15.3hh athe 2.5 years old...

DeleteAthe is not a word to my knowledge, thanks phone
Happy Birthday. I cannot believe how great she looked as a 2 year old. That's like a super awkward age for most horses.
ReplyDeleteShe was pretty hideous when she was 3 years old... I try not to share her ugly duckling pictures, we'd like to pretend it didn't happen lol.
DeleteWell she sure is lovely now! Would you and her be interested in reviewing some endurance tack? If so, please do contact me at twohorseTack@gmail.com I can just see her in something with our light (electric) blue overlay ☺ Regards! Jacke
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Jetta!! It's so cool to see how much she's really done!!
