kentuckysummerclassic2011

Sorry for the gap in posting, I've been really busy with school!
Kentucky Summer Results:
Large Green Ponies: 3rd, 3rd, and 3rd over fences. The other trip we didn't pin, my fault, I had a few bad spots. 10th in the hack! I think there were about 24 ponies. Jeb was amazing, as usual!
WIHS Medal: Ew. It was awful. Jeb was good, but I was off.
USEF Medal: Better, but still not amazing.
I'm not sure where we ended up in either one.

JEB IS THE BEST PONY EVER!<3
love himm.

So anyways-
Model: Jeb was really really good! He fell asleep in between judges though hahahah. 199 points.
Hack: Amazing! He was soo good! he even reversed and didn't even try to trot! 244 points.
Over Fences: Amazinggg<3 Was little deep to the first part of the 2 stride, little long the the long approach diagonal single, so his stride was super long and we were a little deep to the second part of the outside. He also spooked a little when we first came in, but I covered it up.  We had an over fences score of 221 points.
Overall Score: 885 points! 

In front of the USEF sign!

My awesome ribbon!!


I can't wait for Pony Finals 2012! This year was so awesome!

1day 1day 1day 1day

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I leave for Kentucky... Get this... TOMORROW. Less than 24 hours people! I'm so excited! But uh, we all know what this means... I have to pack. Again. Does anyone else find packing for two weeks overwhelming? Especially horse shows because I don't want to forget anything! Comment below! After you show, and are ready to go off when your friends, my mom likes me to carry my phone in case she needs to get a hold of me. So, I think this wristlet is great for horse shows and football games, you know- those kind of things. I also use it for everyday things! I have it in the Viva la Vera pattern and it's super cute! Do you have a Vera Bradley pattern? Mine are Very Berry Paisley and Viva la Vera!
7 days till PF 2011!!

hiiiii:]

I'd just like to inform you that I leave for Kentucky in TWO DAYS. That's FOURTY-EIGHT HOURS, people. And a whole lotta minutes I don't feel like adding up right now. Guess what? That means there are EIGHT DAYS until Pony Finals 2011!! I've worked for 4 and a half years patiently (sort of, more like begging to be moved up to ponies until the very day I went into the greens!) waiting until the moment when I can zip up my boots, button my jacket, tie my number, hop onto my pony and boldly walk into the Walnut ring at the Kentucky Horse Park, look up to the screen and literally see my name in lights.
That was overly dramatic. But really, I have waited for that moment for a VERY long time. I'm just so... ready. I'm nervous, don't get me wrong, but hey!
"You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take." (Wayne Gretzky) 
And believe me, nothing is gonna slow me down. Yes, I've had my set backs, but you have to keep going. 
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!" -Rocky Balboa
I can't wait for Pony Finals! It's gonna be so fun and I can't wait to meet some new friends! GOOD LUCK!!

It's REALLY hot outside right now, so make sure you drink lots of water especially at shows! These show shirts do a great job of keeping you cooler. I have one and I absolutely LOVE it! Plus the wrap collar is so much easier than those choke collars! And this polo is great to school in and super cute!

I'll have new videos on YouTube most likely before KY, but I have to get new clips so I can't promise anything!
