The poem on this graphic I made says

"A star is like a horse,

It shines ever so brightly,

And when you are longing for something,

Just make a wish, Close your eyes tightly"

Vaulting!

I can't wait to start vaulting!! Unfortunately I can't TRULY start vaulting right now because I only have a saddle to work with. So far I have bent down on my knees while Lexie was walking and then I have leaned all the way over to her side and then swung my leg back over. On Thursday I am going to vault with my bareback pad instead so that I don't scratch my saddle. I jumped with no hands Tuesday. It was SO awesome! I did a small grid and my instructor kept adding more and more jumps to the grid.

Won My Horse Show!!

YAAAAAY! I won my horse show! I rode my mare Lexie in a starter Horse Trial on October 24-25. It was her first cross country ever! Next year I get to do Beginner Novice! After the horse show ended we schooled cross country. I finally got Lexie to canter through water (*sighs* it was HARD! She HATES water) I jumped Beginner Novice and Novice also.

One Handed Jumping!

Today I jumped 2' 6" on Lexie with 1 hand! It was so fun!! But I couldn't do a whole course because she has no idea how to neck reign..... Can't wait till tomorrow, I get to have a lesson. (hopefully jumping)

Octoberfest

Today was the start of Octoberfest! I am in 1st in my horse trial and 5th in my % class (dressage). Tomorrow I have cross country and show jumping, I hope I do well!! Lexie has been soooo great this weekend and I have a feeling we will do well. Unfortunately Lexie does not like going through water so that part of the cross country course will be a problem.
