Shows 2 and 3

I'm gonna be first to the finish line
Never givin' up 'til we're out of time
And I'm gonna make it there no doubt
Thats what I'm about, I'm about"

So, sorry for it taking me a while to post again. Things have been pretty crazy around here.

Show two in Ocala didn't go as well as planned...

Dressage for that show was awesome, she was great. She was amazing in stadium, but out on cross country, we get through the hard stuff, mind you, and I, very stupidly, let my guard down at the water. And it's raining, the ground is chewed up, and it was a little spooky. So naturally, because I don't have a made horse, when i stop riding Mystic stops. Which is what happened. Kissing my prelim vision the next weekend goodbye. I was so disappointed in myself. I even, jokingly, told my mom if Rocking II didn't go well that I give up and Jenna gets her pure dressage rider.  

So going into Rocking Horse II, I was a little nervous. Not like 'the jumps are big, and I'm scared' nervous, but the 'if we don't do well my dreams will be in shambles' nervous. Dressage was okay, Mystic has picked up a nervous tick of freaking out whenever another horse passes by, so we went into the ring a little tense. Stadium was perfect. Stadium warm up was crazy because again, she was freaking out at other horses. As far as cross country goes, I was determined to get her through the water, so I could move up. And I did. It wasn't pretty, but i got her through it. All the other combinations were great though.

So this week will be spent schooling prelim waters, so hopefully I can move up at Rocking Horse III in two weeks. And then I come home because I'm not on the Red Hills list. Which is totally okay because I wouldn't be ready for the one star. Or even their big prelim. So after Rocking III I will be back home in Texas! 

I love living in Florida, but it will be nice to see everyone again. I've gotten a few texts and calls from more than one person being like "hi do you remember me?". I apologize guys, but between school and riding I don't look at my phone much.

Well, until next time! Lets pray for a prelim!
