Bored. Nervous.

I'm bored. I have a seating audition tonight for the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra.... and I'm really nervous. I should REALLY be practicing, but my fingers hurt. And I'm mad because for some reason the laptop upstairs won't pick up internet connection, so I have to use the downstairs computer. Which is where my crazy little siblings are. Woo.

There's nothing TOO exciting going on in my life right now. I had a fun lesson with Champion, one of the horses that came at the beginning of the summer with Spot. He's super sweet :) We jumped, and he tried really hard for me :)

I have a lesson tomorrow. Woo. We're probably not jumping...which leads me to the next paragraph!

I have a show on the 11th! It's the first of our series of 6 schooling shows. They're every other Friday, switching off between dressage and jumping shows. We always start with dressage, and ride flat the lessons before the show, and then switch to jumping for two weeks to get ready for the next show.

Andd.......school starts on Tuesday. Woo.

OOHH!! Here's my jump course with Splash from the Camp Show! -

Show Results!!

Show was REALLY good today!! Since there's soooo many kids, everyone picks their horses out of a bag. I just happened to pick REALLY good horses for both of my classes and place REALLY well!!

My first class was walk/trot/canter equitation. I PULLED MURPHY!! I was really happy. Because of his short back, his canter is super easy to sit, and since that's one of my main problems right now, I was really happy. We pulled out a third!

The second was high jump, or jumps up to 2'3". I PULLED SPLASH!! Again, I was SUPER excited. He was sooo good :) I'll post the video as soon as it loads onto youtube.

Nervous :/

I've been volunteering for a few weeks...nothing much going on. I had a really fun lesson on Splash a few weeks ago and then a lesosn on Gino the next Saturday. Sunday, my friend came out to the barn and we went on a trail ride :)

Tomorrow I have a lesson on Giraffe, then show Sunday. I'm super nervous!!

It's the end of camp show, so there's going to be a ton of kids. We pick our horses out of a hat. I'm entered in walk/trot/canter equitation and 2'3" eqitation. For the jump course we have Hank, Gino, Jimmy, Murphy, Splash, and Spike. We have the same horses for flat but with a bunch more.... like Aragon, Casey, Blue, Freckles, Giraffe, and a bunch moreee.....

So yeah. Wish me luck!!
