Hey everyone! Good news!
So... I went to the doctor for my knee.
And, It turns out I DON'T have tendinitis, I have Patellofemoral Stress Syndrome.
So, it stinks and I have to wear a brace but I CAN RIDE!<3
In the mean time, I have two videos in the making that should be posted on YouTube soon!
SHOW UPDATE:
I'm not doing any shows this month because of my knee, and at the end of the month I have a concert, so yeah! I should show again in November:)
I hope yall like the Pony Show Ring bracelets!

sad stuff:(
My surprise? Yeah, it was two weeks of Gallop in the Glen, the second being ZONE FINALS 2011!!! But, they got canceled & thank goodness, zone finals will be rescheduled. Very sad. BUT, we are looking for a show to go to that second week, there aren't any the first week that aren't like 2635615236456753654632 miles away. Not really, but all of them are pretty far away. It was canceled because EHV broke out in the area. To prevent EHV, make sure not to share buckets, saddle pads, etc. Learn more about EHV here, and read updates on what happened given by the University of Tennessee Knoxville.
SO, even though that's good for my social plans since there's a big football game that night, I'd much rather be at a horse show.
Another sad thing? I know, this post is depressing.
I CANNOT RIDE. Like really?! Can this get any worse? No, it can't. I supposedly have Tendinitis in my left knee, and I couldn't ride for a week. I rode Wednesday, and it swelled up pretty badly, so I think I have to go back to the doctor. :/
Anyways, I hope I can get some good news soon!

Brownland Fall!
AHHH Brownland was AWESOMEEEEE! So the greens didn't fill but I went into the Regulars and Jeb was amazing!
Thursday: Schooled with Kate and Champ (aka Mission Accomplished)! She's awesome! Her twitter is: kateduke55 Go follow her! Jeb was really really good schooling!
Friday: Schooling Pony, USEF medal, and WIHS medal.
Schooling Pony: Blue Ribbon(:
USEF medal: I don't remember the placing but it was good!
WIHS medal: Not my best, missed a few spots but not too bad.
Saturday: Large Ponies! 3rd, 7th, and 7th! They weren't bad, but it was super tough competition.
Sunday: Large ponies! 4th, 7th, and 5th in the classic. Oohh the classic. So, my first round I was slow to the first fence, and then I didn't see a spot to the first part of the outside, so that was really bad and I lost my stirrup, but I got down the line! I couldn't get it back so I lost the OTHER stirrup. THEN, I finally got them back like two strides until my diagonal single, and I was short to that. BUT, then I finished the course, got down the lines, and got to my spots! That was like the funniest thing of my life. I ended up with a 66. So the next round was good, but a lot of spots were kinda long, so I got a 77.
So, overall, Brownland was so fun and I learned a lot:) EXCITING NEWS NEXT POST<3

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.

USEF PONY FINALS 2K11.
I have the best pony ever. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Get this: .70th in the model. (Beat 4 people lolololol) 16th in the hack. 12th over fences. SO, we went from 70th, to 42nd, to s i x t e e n t h o v e r a l l!! Yay!! DID YOU GET THAT? SIXTEENTH PEOPLE! I got a very very pretty ribbon that I LOVEEE!

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." -Walt Disney
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!
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!
