Fresh off the last week of horse showing, I was excited to take off where we left off! This was my first time showing two consecutive weeks with the same horse, and it was beneficial. I came into this week with a calm demeanor and with even more confidence than the week prior. This week was very similar to the Canadian Premier, except our rounds were much more consistent. As our confidence grew, so did our window to take risks, which took our rounds to the next level. I found that as the weekend progressed, the small details in our courses would improve and become more consistent. My trainers have done a fantastic job schooling Wesley, and I couldn’t be happier with how he’s been helping me learn around the ring. Outside of the show ring, this show was enjoyable hanging out with the amateur crew from Thumbs Up! As well as watching the jumpers in the beautiful grass ring. I even got to watch a Nations Cup for the first time, and it was spectacular!!
I had a lot of fun at this horse show, and I feel as it was very productive as well. We are progressing faster than I anticipated, and although it’s not perfect, it gets better and better each time, and that’s what matters to me. I’m excited to be back in Thunderbird at the end of June and until then, work, work, work at home. Huge thanks to John Turner, Quinn Partridge, the Macbeth family, and my dad for making this week possible.
