Stadium has always been so easy for us, but after the unexpected (and painful) fall at Poplar last weekend, it’s now my biggest source of anxiety. Fortunately, our next event was back at Chatt, where I felt comfortable and safe. It’s funny how I’ve gone from being the most freaked out about cross country and […]
We’ve been on a roll lately where we’ve had more success than failures, and I was excited to get back to Poplar for another 3-phase. Poplar’s cross country course is a lot of fun – while the terrain is challenging, the jumps are inviting. I figured it would be an easy, confidence-boosting weekend… I was […]
Go With It Farm‘s second farm show of the year took place on a beautiful summer day, and JJ and I were proud to be a part of it! We did both a Beginner Novice CT and a Novice CT once again, with the Beginner Novice jump round serving as a warm-up for the Novice […]
I’ve had a lot of ups and downs lately. We’ve had struggles and successes, but it’s been tricky to do anything regularly. I figure the more events we can go to, the more practice we’ll get, and we’ll start being more consistent. I’ve been talking to a few of my more-experienced eventer friends lately, and […]
I’d heard a lot of great things about Oxer Farm’s CT and 3-phase shows, so when our schedule worked out that we could go to one, I was really excited. We drove up the morning of, and got started bright and early. We scored a second 40.00 in a row for dressage, this time on […]
We’ve been getting better and better each time out lately, so I was especially excited to celebrate my 31st birthday at an event with my awesome husband, wonderful team, and fantastic horse! It’s been a really wet Spring, and this weekend was no different. We tried to minimize Friday night’s cross country schooling session so […]
We’ve been eventing for a few months now, and slowly but steadily it’s getting easier. I hope I didn’t just jinx myself by saying that! For our next event, we went somewhere new – North Atlanta Equestrian. It was a little far from our barn, so we reserved some stalls and trailered up the day […]
Disclaimer: I know I’m not ready for an off-farm Novice event, but we regularly jump Novice-sized stuff during our lessons, so I figured I would give it a shot at a Go With It Farm show. I had missed our first GWIF farm show in December of 2014 as I was out of town that […]
Coming off our last event with having completed all three phases successfully, I was excited about trying again to see if we had simply gotten lucky or if we were starting to get the hang of things. We headed back to Chatt Hills for another 3-phease schooling show. JJ and I had have now had […]
Our first two attempts at Beginner Novice eventing did not go as planned, so we stuck to the motto of “try, try again.” Eventually, I figured, the odds would work out in our favor and we’d manage to get through one of these things… It was a new year, and I decided that I was […]
