End of Summer

Looking back on this summer, it sure was a great one! First of all, summer camps! I had so much fun with camps this summer! We had some new kids, and got to know each other really well over those couple weeks. I still have a big yellow door in my garage that the campers painted and signed, that I promised to make into a jump and put it out in the field. Oh, well, maybe next summer :)

Then there was the State fair, which was practically my first horse show ever! Tifi and I had a blast (well, at least I did) and we even won a couple ribbons :) Kaylee and Melinda also got to participate for their first time too!

I sure learned alot from that experience. I later had a chance to test my skills a Kershaw Acres schooling show in Milton. Tifi and I did a couple flat classes (which we bombed by the way) and then a few hunter courses (which went much better). We finished the day jumping a clean 3ft. in Chase me Charlie.



Our last big fling for the summer was the student show. The students competed against each other in equitation, jumping and dressage classes. I was so proud of their performance! It was so cool to see how each student has grown and learned so much over the summer. Congratulations to everyone!

So you can see, it was an awesome summer full of horsey fun, friends and trying new things, for teacher and students. I want to thank everyone who helped make it all possible, and thank God for allowing me to do what I love to do!
