Andrews Osborne Academy

This spring break, after flying out to Phoenix, I got a great opportunity to go tour Andrews Osborne Academy, an equestrian boarding school in Willoughby, Ohio (close to Cleveland). I got to ride with their trainers and everything!

After my long day of flights from Phoenix through Detroit and finally arriving at the Canton-Akron airport, I was exhausted. After spending the night in my hotel, I woke up and went to visit AOA.

Upon arriving, I got a quick tour of the school, and then headed out to the barn to take a lesson. The facilities were very, very nice. They have two indoor rings connected to the barn. The stalls looked comfy for the horses and I was told they are the same stalls the queen of England has in her barn. There is also an outdoor ring and lots of great pasture space. In my lesson, I rode one of the school's horses and worked on lots of things. I took a lesson with Laura, who was very informative and helpful.  The school does A shows as well as participating in the IEA.

I also got to tour the dorms and also was able to sit in on a few classes, and meet teachers as well as students.  It seems like a great place to be and if you're looking for a school where you can ride, check this out!

What a Month it has Been (Gulfport!)

Hey everyone! I am SO sorry I haven't posted in so long! Things have been absolutely crazy! Since my last post, I've been to Phoenix, Cleveland, Gulfport, and Hilton Head all while balancing school. Speaking of Cleveland and Hilton Head heads up for some posts about those.

This post, however, is regarding Gulport. I don't think there's any better way to end my spring break!
Jeb was great and I got some points contributed to my USEF Medal ( I believe we were third)!

In the larges, we were 2nd, 4th, 5th, 5th, 4th, and 4th! We were also 6th in the classic.

Jeb couldn't have been better!
Look out for some new youtube videos soon, once iMovie starts cooperating I should have a bunch!
