Down South

What a start to spring break! I skipped out on my night class and left early from Fundamentals on Thursday. I flew out from Newark to Atlanta then on to Columbia, SC. I met up with Robin and we headed to the show grounds to check on the horses.

On Friday we went to the show in Aiken and I walked around and watched. Then later I got to hack Grannus a really nice big eq. horse. Then Saturday I got to ride both Ramino and Monte. We went out to dinner with another trainer and some of his clients. Then on Sunday Grannus showed and then we packed everyone up and headed to Savannah. When we got to her house I rode Arco out in her field.

I was supposed to catch my flight to Philly around noon on Monday but thunderstorms had a ground stop so I wasn't able to fly out. Thankfully Robin hadn't left yet and I was able to stay with her one more night. Before we had left I got to ride another horse and then once we got back I got to ride a really cute black one. Bright and early Tuesday morning I was able to catch my flight out.

One Last Time

This was the last IHSA show of the season outside of Regionals and Zones. I got to do both flat and jumps today. My jumps course was really good till the last jump and Moon and I had a rail. I couldn't tell if there was one more stride or not so I was a little behind. Then for my flat class I rode Jazzy a hot and sensitive mare. I did the best I could to stay relaxed and make everything as smooth as possible.

While we were watching the other levels of horses warm up a grey caught my eye. He was the cutest thing! Over jumped everything and was quiet the little mover on the flat. I wanted to take him home with me in my back pocket!

Back Again

This semester we only have two horse shows and then we get into Regionals, Zones, and then Nationals. So I've signed up for both and I'm excited to horse show yet again!

I was originally was supposed to do both jumps and flat but they scratched me from flat so another girl could ride. Bummer :/. But I still got to jump, and when I found out my draw I got really excited. I drew Red who I rode last semester on the flat. It is really nice to draw a horse you have already ridden because you already know how they work and it gives you a slight advantage.

My round was really good and I was really excited to place first. Now I have 14 Jumping points and 17 Flat points.

Snow Days

Snow Day! So much snow and it just kept coming. We ended up with about 2 feet. At dinner Michelle really wanted to go outside and play in it so we all got bundled up and made a night of it.

It was a ton of fun! We made snow angels and tried a snow man but it didn't work. We trampled through all the untouched snow. We took pride as we looked around and knew that all of that mess was us :).

Candace was stuck in her snow angel.

We are so excited!

We had a blast.
