i'm so bad at this LJ thing.
I went out to Wond.erland Farm today, and met Karen, the trainer/owner. She's really nice, we seem to have a similar teaching style, and come from the same old school, classical background. Apparently, she feels comfortable with me enough to not demand I ride one of her old, dead school horses. Sorta makes me feel all uppity about myself, haha.
So what if I don't have a zillion show titles to my name? So what if I've only owned one horse in my life? So what if I'm not Region II Adult/Ammy Champion? Fuck that.
Sixteen years of riding, training, teaching, learning, and observing. You can't BUY that. You can't LEARN that. That doesn't come in a box proclaiming "Six Easy Steps to Success!" Fuck everyone who thinks that you have to have a four-page show record in order to be considered an "expert" in the sport.
Wow, I'm angry today.
EDIT: Bwhahaha.
