About Me

Hey y'all! So this is the "about me" portion of the blog, so let's get to it. My name is Brandi, and here are the most important things to know about me: 1. I'm a Christ follower. 2. I love to ride and train horses. More specifically, I run barrels on a 13 year old Paint horse that I bought as a 2 year old. His name is Bud. I also own a cute, little (and by little I mean that she could probably be considered a pony) Quarter horse filly named Millie. 3. I like to make things. Belts, headstalls, bracelets, dog collars... pretty much anything that I see off of Pinterest and at trade days. 4. I Crossfit and love it! 5. I hate it when people ask me what kind of music I like to listen to, because I listen to a lot of different stuff and never know how to respond. 6. People who have known me a long time, are often shocked when they realize that I like baseball and that I don't chew gum. It grosses me out.

SHOT Show 2013

In October, I took Millie to Bryan, TX to the SHOT show.  This was Millie's first show and besides spending a month at Jennifer's in June, it was her first time away from home.  She handled herself like a pro!  
In the Ranch Horse Pleasure Class, we scored a 50 which placed us 38th/68?? other riders.  

Also, it was the first time that both Careen and Kathryn had seen Millie, the little kiwi, since I brought her home when she was a yearling.  I was super excited that we all got to be there and hang out.  That is what I miss most about College Station, spending time with my friends.  It was a great day!

Crossfit Solus

At the end of August I began my crossfit journey.  The first of September started the 6-week paleo challenge.  With $20, getting measured, and a buy-in WOD, I got sucked into the life style and I love it!  I have completed my first 5K, I am stronger, and I feel 100% better.  I love my coaches at Crossfit Solus!  They are so encouraging and their true concern for all the athletes' success is inspirational.

What a difference a year and hard work can make!

1st time to go Rx doing goblet lunges.
