After Brownland, I took Sunday off to think about what had happened. I realize that it was my fault, and Jeb did exactly what I told him to, which was to not jump because I took my leg off.
Monday the 4th, I had a lesson that went great! We are back up to jumping 2'9'' and I've been supporting with my hands and my legs. I'll have a lesson everyday until Friday, when I leave for
Charleston! I'll be there for two weeks, and I'm going up a few days early to have some vacation time. I can't wait!
Now, I'd like to say thank you to my
trainer, my family, and my friends for being so supportive of me with everything I do, even when I mess up like I did this past weekend. Nobody was ever negative, it was always "tomorrow will be better" or "I know you can do it." Honestly, without this support I would not be where I am today. My pony is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I can't even begin to describe what he means to me. Whenever anything is wrong, he's always there, and he never judges. Jeb just listens, and always manages to make me laugh, even on my worst days. So thank you Jeb!

"Victory isn't defined by wins or losses. It is defined by effort. If you can truthfully say, 'I did the best I could, I gave everything I had,' then you're a winner." - Wolfgang Schadler
"Courage is not the absence of fear. It is being afraid but being able to control that fear so you are able to perform at your highest ability. That's what makes a champion." - Cory Lester
"Being the best that you can be is possible only if your desire to be a champion is greater than your fear of failure." -Sammy Lee
Nothing is ever impossible! Don't ever let anyone ever tell you that you can't.
