Well I finally have a day all to myself where I don't need to be doing anything..! I think this is the first in a long time so I thought it might be kind of nice to share some pictures with you all from the show last weekend :)
We have all unwound ourselves from the show last weekend.. but have our eyes set on the next show just 2 weeks away now! There is this balance between unwinding and catching a moment to take a breath but then keeping myself in show mode as well.. it's tricky to keep on that mental game and not let the anxiety of it all get to me but that's what I love... the constant challenge of living in the moment and not getting ahead of myself.
I am really looking forward to this week and weekend to come. Mom, April, and my grandma will be joining dad and I here for a week and a half to spend my birthday next Sunday with me. =) And then Friday Esmee is coming to join us as well (one of my really good riding friends from back home). It will be so nice to take a weekend to reflect back on these past couple months and enjoy all the blessings God has given us.
The horses this week have been a challenge but also so great. It's always a little bit tricky the week after a show because they need some down time but they also have to keep moving and then near the end of this week we picked things back up. Rif thought it might be fun to take advantage of that but Sabine was as always so great and kept us rolling on the right track. Stentano has been trying so hard this week and so I'm continuing to chip away with him and keep it all in persepective! Karen is out this week for a few days as Jayne (another client of karen's from back home) arrived early last week so she will be out to help us both.
I hope that all is well at home and that hopefully Spring will start setting in soon :) As for us.. I think winter finally decided to hit.. we had quite the storm yesterday! Wind, pouring rain, hail, rocks falling down the mountains, flooding, power outages, a very angry ocean .. yes I felt like I was back home!! But then go figure today the sky is clear and the sun is out shining brightly! Go figure.. this crazy Southern Cal weather!
All my love to you back home xoxo
Stentano proudly wore both 2nd (for Rif) and 4th place for the freestyle awards.
