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!

3 Years Without You
On February 28, it was officially three years since Gypsy (my old pony) was put to sleep. I miss her so much but I know she's in a better place.

"Somewhere behind the rider you've become; the trainers who have pushed you, the people who believed in you, the long hours of schooling, the dirt beneath your nails, the falls you've taken, the ribbons you didn't win, the tears you've cried, and the horses you've given your heart to, is the little girl who fell in love with a horse and never looked back. Ride for her."- Unknown
Rest in Peace.

Youtube Video of the Week- February 22
New youtube video of the week! It's starts with [g o o d b y e.] by equitateit!
You can also see my video seeing goodbye to Maddie's pony, Callaway. It's when you loose something you cannot replace [Goodbye Callaway]. ♥
I'm incredibly sad to see Cal go. He and Maddie were really a great team.
Have fun in Wisconsin, Cal. I hope your new little girl loves you as much as Maddie did and still does.<3 I'll miss you.

February Show!
Hey everyone!
I did a show last weekend! Jeb was really good! I can't remember all my exact placings but I do know that I won the classic out of all the regulars! We had a first round score of 77.5 and a second round score of an 80 (combined 157.5)! I was really happy with it. Also, I think there were 10 or 11 larges!
My next show will be over the second half of my spring break. It's the sixth week of Gulfport! Yay! I'm super excited!!
