I will admit to being one of those people who just starts on a journey and doesn’t really consider successes if they aren’t big. Horses are always a journey one way or another and I guess Stampede’s journey has been filled with plenty of other interesting and crazy happenings that I guess it hasn’t come to mind to consider changes under saddle. So here we go at the trot…

In the big gap between 2006 and 2009 nothing good happened and I barely have any pictures of me riding, although I know my mom took some really ugly ones during that time of Stampede being crazy. If you need more of that story, check out the about Stampede section. Otherwise, I guess I need to make people take more pictures of me, because they are all show pictures!
Here are a couple jumping pictures to finish up.

Thanks for starting this blog hop Life of Riley. I will have to see if I can drum up some photos of Mr P from the first time I had him since they are all printed photos!
What a cool transformation 🙂 I wish I had more riding pictures from over the years!
Thanks! I really thought I’d done better at having pictures over the years but many of them are not riding pictures!
Quite the transformation!
The differences between 2006 and 2014 are pretty incredible!
I almost just posted 2006 and 2014, but figured it was nice to show the middle where I could. He is completely different from 2006 (when riding outside an indoor was terrifying, lol).
Very nice!
Thanks, there’s a handsome pony in there sometimes!
Wow, big difference!
Thanks. Lots of change happens over so many years and I had really forgotten where we started.
Such a huge difference!
He might become a good pony one day!
Aww, you guys have made so much progress!
Thanks! It is amusing to me to remember how horrible he was for a while. I must have been crazy.
