Starting to get colder now. There are less and less riders in your class. I think there was 5 or 6 today.

Nice two point!!

10/15/2011 - Fitzjoy Farm - Suzie

Today was the Fitzjoy Student show. You did great. you got 8th in your Showman Ship at the Halter and 3rd in your Walk / Trot group. I was so sick that day. I took you to your first show, came back home and was just to tired to go back. I went to bed and your Mom took you for your second show. You rode Suzie.. The first horse you ever rode. Keep it up sweetheart.

You are starting to get very comfortable with ridding. I think after the show you are feeling more confident in your abilities. Don't ever stop believing in yourself. You can do anything you set your mind to.

This was your first student horse show. It was about 95 degrees out so non of the horses we being very nice. You got 5th and 6th place. You were so happy

This is the class where Nancy was explaining to you what you will be doing for your fist student show. You were very excited. Can't you tell by your picture :)

10-07-2011 - Double J - Meg

You were supposed to be ridding Meg in the Student show but she was really giving you a hard time today. Meg likes to yank her reigns and that hurts your shoulders. You started to cry and they put you on Ollie.. You will ride Ollie in the horse show in a few days.

Not sure why but this is the only picture I have of you from that day :(

09-24-2011 - Fitzjoy Farm - Buddy

Today was the Fitzjoy Ride for St. Jude trail ride. You had a good time but said the Buddy was hungry so he was stopping and eating the whole time. One of the reasons why I liked Fitzjoy at first was the huge trails that were next to the farm. I continue to ask you which barn you want to stay with and you say Double J.. Every time.

I do not remember everything from these older lessons but I do remember this one! Michelle is teaching this class and today she made you cry. I think part of it is she makes you nervous and part is your Arthritis. She did tell you today that there was no crying in horse back riding! Remember that as you continue though your Equestrian Carrier. Do not ever let this get you frustrated. You love ridding and being around horses. If you get upset cause the horse is not doing what you want or you just cant get that jump take a step back and remember why you are doing this.. YOU LOVE HORSES :)

09/16/2011 - Double J - Eros

This is your first small group lesson at Double J. Today you had to Tack Eros and he popped you in face. You started to cry but Carrie the tack girl got you a ice bag and took very good care of you.

09/13/2011 - Double J - Maybelline

You love this horse at the Double J. She is about 17 years old but she listens very well to you.

09/10/2011 - Fitzjoy - White / Tucker

White was acting goofy today. He was getting really spooked and he took off with you. You held on but they pulled him from class and put you on Tucker. Nicole rode white for a while with your class then put him away.

09/03/2011 - Fitzjoy - Galley

You are defiantly starting to look the part. You are getting more confident in your ridding. The classes are getting full now and there are usually 8 to 10 riders in each class. I am glad we are going to Double J now so you can get some private lessons.

08/16/2011 - Double J - Fancy

You started today at Double J. We really like this stable better. You are able to do every thing with the horse to get them prepped to ride. They do much more with you in the way to training. Nancy took the time to assess your Arthritis to see your range and she never pushed you. They switched you up to a English Saddle and we will have you switched over to English ad Fitzjoy.

08/13/2011 - Fitzjoy - White

This is your 4th lesson. I am having to rebuild all of this because I was keeping all of this data and it got corrupted.. TWICE. I do not have any information about the ride. I know early on I felt you needed more one on one so we joined another stable. Double J!!

07/9/2011 - Fitzjoy Farm - Suzie

Today was your fist horse Lesson. Grandma wanted to take you horse back riding to see if you liked it. Well big shocker.. You LOVED it. You seemed so comfortable up there. You even Cantered!! This is going to be a start of a life long love for you :)
