Riva was pretty good - still fighting that right lead canter... Halts and centerlines were spot on - left lead canter was nice - medium walk and free walk I was very happy with. Barn owner's daughter was watching when I ran thru my test. I rode by shaking my head and saying that at least our walk work was good. Husband told me later last night that BO's daughter told him that I have become a different rider this year. She said she remembers my previous trainer getting after me to be more aggressive - growl at Riva when she was naughty, kick like a pony clubber, ride like I mean it - all things that I struggled with last year. Well - not anymore! I can growl, pony club kick, ride like I mean it now! But, it is always nice to hear someone notices.

Good luck!!
Whoo! I'm excited to see you tonight/tomorrow! We're on our way down in the next hour. I can't wait!
My ride times are all early (yay! Done by noon!), so if I'm too busy running around like an idiot: GOOD LUCK! You'll do great!
Best of luck! I'm showing this weekend too - with almost the exact same issues and you and your mare.
Looking forward to the Monday reflections!
Go girl go girl go girl!!! You are going to do awesome!
Best of luck to you!
This is such an exciting time. She is still young enough to have boundless energy but you can really push a five year old. The next few years are going to be amazing. You get to see what she can do with her big girl pants :)
Sounds like a fun weekend - riding, competing,Mexican food and margaritas - perfection!
I'm looking forward to hearing how you do.
Yay! Cant wait to hear how awesome you did!
Good luck!! You sure know how to spend pre-show time. Hehe! Now I want Mexican food hehe.
