Best Laid Plans

This weekend had its ups and its downs… I started off with some things to correct but two 4th place ribbons in the Intermediate Equitation (2’6). Going into Saturday I learned some things about myself and how much I have grown. Originally the plan was for me to show a sale horse both weekends of the horse show. Unfortunately due to certain circumstances that I am not comfortable blogging about in detail given that the horse is not my own plans are changing!Things don’t always go as planned but I am really happy with how I handled the circumstances that were thrown at me. I am not hurt but I did fall off. The biggest thing that I learned about myself now in this experience is that I ride for me. In the past I would have been beyond bothered if someone saw some of the things that happened this weekend but this weekend I was riding for me and loving every minute or taking things in stride.

Now the new plan for week 2 is for Annie to come up and get to school and potentially show a little bit. It should be a really good experience for her. Any OH bloggers in the area should come see us!

    It’s great when you can let go and enjoy the experience. Sounds like a great experience for Annie, maybe it was meant to be that way.

    Not knowing the details I am sorry that you were put through any ordeal that made you uncomfortable, but it sounds like you pulled something valuable for you from the experience. I hope this week with Annie you guys can have a great time!
