Meet Brandi!

​Hi! My name is Brandi!  Sometimes, my name is also Trouble or Chicken, it depends on the day.  I am 4 years old and my birthday is coming up on June 7th, just in case you would like to, you know, get me a present or something!
 
I'm usually a pretty good girl, if I am being worked.  I like to go out on trails instead of riding around in an arena as there are more things to spook at.  The bigger the spook, the more excited my mom gets.  I like to think that I'm just making her a better rider!
 
My mom brought me to school with her and I learned lots of new things!  I have to admit, when we first started working together, I didn't like her and I tried to kick her and run her over.  I learned pretty quickly though, that that wasn't allowed.  We did a lot of work together, especially on the ground, walking over a blue flappy thing which I'm sure tried to kill me about 90% of the time!  My favorite part of our training together was when she said "Whoa”!  That became my favorite sound and I learned that if I kept going after she said it, she'd say it even more!  
 
Once we started riding, my mom would take me out on trail rides.  That is how I found my love of the trails, particularly in the winter time, as the snow hides the monsters. I love when we finish a ride together because my mom gives me lots of treats and massages! 
 
When I'm not being worked, I like to forget my manners and kick out at people.  I'm really good at being a bit naughty and getting into things I shouldn't - it's my specialty.
 
2019 is going to be an interesting year, I can feel it.  I just know that my mom is going to make me do something big…
