Born in Sg, survived seven years of IJ, escaped to canada for the miraculous rebirth.. likes to say she found self there, But well when can we reach self actualization? now a waterloo student. 110% horse mad, was practically born on the back of a horse ( or rather wishes she was) horses are my favourite thing.

TeaImm Tryouts and Internet

This is why I should have done it in first year

At that time, me making the team REAL possibility. I did my best though...
I was riding jake, so he was the last horse I had ridden, fingers crossed hoping it all goes well..... Wait i have to do lead changes??? We don't have to do this in JUMPER!
The course was at least simple enough for me not to get confused on. Plus there was a flat component where as simple change was required. HEre is how it went on Jake..

First, forgot the first portion was in sitting, rose for a couple of strides. Then got him into canter, easy. Then he goes into trot and i completely fuck up the simple change= non-existant. why? cos he WAS NOT EVEN CANTERING to begin the diagonal line. Got him to canter at the next corner and headed for the first jump. Only this is, thispony kept on breaking into trot.. it was very uneven. So i probably looked like crap out there. Very not what i was going for. At least my position over fences was good. It was only after I was done that i realised i forgot the closing circle or whatever it is they do in hunter.

Next I was up on a slim version of Laurie called Chloe. Also abt laurie's size, just skinnier with no big neck. SHe was relatively easy to push forward, and i did a BEAUTIFUL simple change!! however, her jump was odd... it was either that or i was taking off way too soon. I kept getting left behind at every FENCE!! terrible. It was all good except for that. And my lead changes were all wrong... bloody hunter, why cant it be SIMPLE and just be JUMPER? like the rest of the world outside north america?
I was glad to be able to ride though. At windamere, which i am familiar with.
