This video was of my very first competition – ever. It was taken over a year ago at Fieldstone Show Grounds in Halifax, MA. I seriously think I was demented to have even considered, let alone actually attempted, a one meter course with 12 fences on my young horse as a novice rider for my first go round. And yes, you guessed it – I fell off! I actually can’t believe I stayed on as long as I did. I mean really, look at this footage! OMG. Now you can understand why I haven’t competed since.
That will all change this week as I try one more time to pop around a course of fences with Jaliska (both older and wiser) at Apple Knoll’s Wednesday night horse show.
Will I finish without falling off?
Will Jaliska refrain from pulling my arms off?
Will I wear a hair net?
Stay tuned….
