Hi Thanks for asking! Perry went pretty well. I was just outta the finals in the 3D on Friday, and saturday I ran after they had wet the arena, so it was boggy, but my horse worked really really nice. it was a fun trip and he stayed sound, so i can't complain!

From Elberton (about 35 miles west of Anderson, SC), it took us around 11 hours..but we stopped along the way to get Pride off the trailer twice and give him water. The roads didn't get too bad until we hit Meridian..Meridian to Jackson, they were pretty rough. Anyways, good luck again and thanks for the luck! Let me know how it goes and keep in touch! Have a great day!

No problem! Sounds like yall have all the bases covered. i have been having hock issues with my gelding for the past month. Nothin major..just something not being right...after several trips to the vet now, we think we have him right, so he's gonna get a lot of long trotted the next couple of weeks because we are plannin on runnin at the NBHA Southern States Triple Crown Show in Perry, GA, 4th of July weekend. Are yall going? If not, good luck at World...I will be looking for another buckskin in the finals!

As far as the heat STRESS for the horses...if you don't have your horses on electrolytes already, I would put them on a good electrolyte prior to Jackson, one that makes them drink well....I have Pride on some apple flavored stuff and he will drink a whole bucket of water as soon as you put it in there...in Memphis, we wet his hay and feed down also to get more water into him and I just spent a long time cooling him out. If your horses are in shape, as I am sure they are, then you should be fine...just make sure they drink well. ALSO, I am not sure if anyone has told you, but the roads ARE/WERE horrible between Meridian, MS, and Jackson as in bumpy..they might have fixed this by now...but I would do pillow wraps and polos to help protect them on the way...hope this helps!
