Now that we are on the way. It’s time to get kind of sappy 😅
This whole journey has been a ROLLERCOSTER if I’ve ever seen one. There was times I was really confident and then other times I was discouraged or frustrated, or didn’t think I would make the show. I kept pushing forward anyways, and I can happily say we are able to ride at the show. We’ve gone thru bolting issues, trailer issues, not wanting to be caught, and so much more. I am so grateful for everyone who helped and supported me this whole time, I would not be here without them, but I am also grateful that I was able to work up the courage and guts to do it myself. We have worked really hard and i truly think that even if we don’t place or anything there, we still won. This was a 7 year old mustang stud gelded not super long before we got them and to think that I still was brave enough to ride him at all is enough of a win for me. I do think I got a really good horse out of this in the end, despite how difficult some things have been for him and I. My goals for this show are just to go, show the horse that I turned him into, and have fun. I have made a video montage of the whole journey with him, and looking back, we both have come so far. He taught me just as much as I taught him. I am so happy that I get to continue our journey together after this, and there is no limit on what we can do.
I can’t wait to see everyone and their animals at the show tomorrow. Let’s have some fun this weekend!! Good luck everybody!
Below are my favorite photos of spirit from beginning to now.
