Riding

[velvetpixie]

I have been back in the saddle (literally) now for the past three months or so. I cannot tell you how good its been to be back on a horse. Its a part of me I felt like I gave up and to be honest I don't know why I did, all I know is that I feel like a hole in my heart has been repaired. Only now Im freaking fixated. I eat sleep and dream horses. I've subscribed to HorseTV.com, have 3 different magazine subsciption to riding magazines and I have been taking lessons. The lessons are with my trainer Jodi twice a week, and honestly Im rather impressed with myself. Im making some pretty speedy advances and happen to be competing in a horse show this weekend. Im rather nervous about it. I was never a competitive rider. Im not sure why. I dont particularly like the idea of someone, other than my trainer, judging my riding. I do, however, like the idea of showing..if that makes sense. I like the idea of going to an event and proving that I am a contender. Besides, if I plan on making anything of myself in this industry in the future I'd better have some kind of show record to prove that, at least, I am a proficient rider.
Anyway, wish me luck. I'll let you know how I do.
Take Care
