Ride and Review

IMG 0826  Warming up with Jenni Niedermair... IMG 0827  Getting Emmy used to the surroundings. I've already warmed up at Janet's for 25 min and she's still rarin' to go! IMG 0828  Working on our test in the schooling ring. IMG 0835
IMG 0836  Dave and the boys surprised me in coming to watch! I was so choked up seeing them there! IMG 0837 IMG 2152  Emmy even went by the scary tent after checking it out. Good girl! IMG 9777  See tent? Not much room to get by it between the tent and the white cones (you do a few laps outside the court before the judge calls you in).
IMG 0843  So relieved! IMG 0844  In the foreground is Kris, Emmy's owner. So thankful to have met her and to have the opportunity to continue riding this fabulous mare! IMG 0850  Hammock time for someone at home :) IMG 0853  Can you find Ben?

IMG 0833 IMG 0838  Now we're up! These videos are on YouTube as well with a playlist, and one of them has commentaries on what I'm thinking at various moments. I am more impressed that we DID this than at how well we did. IMG 0839  Test #1! IMG 0840
IMG 0841  Then coaching... IMG 0842  Then test #2, and you try to improve.
