Before I rode today it seemed everyone was convinced I was going to medal but I for some reason had a hard time believing that. It suddenly hit me to place top 3 out of 41 riders is not easy! I guess going into the team test I had no pressure so I went and just rode but today I had that feeling of holy shit this is intense! But heck it sure paid off! We had a clean test and she once again gave me her heart and oh it was just so fantastic! A 71.2% to win silver!! Brandi Roenick won on Weltino's Magic with a 75% which was a gorgeous test and then another Canadian from Ontario bronze medaled with a 70%! It is always so neat representing your country on the podium!! I absolutely love it! Poor Rif was terrified in the awards and our victory gallop turned into a full out gallop alright... I couldn't stop her for the majority of it but by the time we hit the out gate we somehow managed to find the breaks ;) poor princess!
Thank you for all the congratulations and Facebook messages and texts! You are all such great support!
Tomorrow are the freestyles which will take place in the evening and so I ride at 7:02pm (eastern time!). One more time to get in that ring and dance with my amazing girl!!
