Our final NEJA show in their winter series was at the end of April. On a whim, I decided to kick it old school and wear my rust breeches and navy coat. I definitely got a few "looks" from some of the HJ crowd, but it was worth being the weirdo eventer girl haha. It was a gorgeous spring day and our rounds were all excellent. Rejoice really seems to enjoy her newfound jumper pony status and powered around like she knew what she was doing haha. My goals for the day were to win the ground poles speed class by taking a sneaky route someone's trainer would not approve of again haha like I did at the March show and to remember my jump off round like I did NOT do at the March show! Though there wasn't a super sneaky route to take in the ground poles class, I made sure to set her up for tight turns and rollbacks. We did win the class out of nine riders! Whoot! Our speed cross rails was also a good class, with Rejoice willing to listen to half halts, turn on a dime, and also
My favorite post of yet :)
ReplyDeleteAw! :) Thanks A! I was so ready for this vacation....and I even had a student who begged me to stay after school on Tuesday to help him with his essay. I was like, SERIOUSLY???? I spent 45 minutes with him. He has not done much of anything since Sept. so I guess it was a good thing that he wanted help.....but the day before Thanksgiving break????? Good gravy! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI was SO done with anything remotely English related (including writing a blog post....) that I was like, the heck with it, I am going with one word for each photo. LOL!
It seems that I am always stuck with a student begging to stay after school when I am like, seriously? Today? of all days!?
ReplyDeleteAnd you are right, it is the one that hardly does anything and then suddenly, the day I want to scram, they want to stay! :)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
