Opportunity Knocks...

As you may know, or don't know, the first part of Eventing is the Dressage phase, which is very important because that is your first score, so you can only do worse from there. I have my self competed Dressage only one in my life for 6 years, and it is still a very important part of my riding life! So, as you could guess I was very happy to here  from my mom that a woman in my area by the name of Sue Draper, who lives close by, and who is a Grand Prix Dressage rider, has invited me over to her small farm to ride one of her nice Grand Prix horses that she has trained and is trying to sell! I am so excited because truth be told, I have ridden MANY horses, but never anything that nice, well trained, and expensive. This is such a great opportunity for me to show a great rider what I can do, and also get to ride such a nice horse, with a fabulous rider there to give me some valid pointers! I am going over to ride this horse on Friday, and I will blog all about it that evening, or Saturday night! Here is a Video link to one of my favorite Dressage youtube videos (: When I was this when I was 10... I almost cried it was so COOL! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKQgTiqhPbw

Also, lyra is coming home on Saturday, not friday which is kinda sad :( And I have also heard from Jessica Halliday about working for her over the summer, which I will blog about more when I here more! Chao for now! -Ellie
